Apple Mac

The mac was the most used piece of hardware during the project, in the pre-production stage it provided access to the internet to source information and online tools to organize and present our findings. While in production we used it to store footage and images necessary for assembling our three products using software on the computer.

Software

Premiere was use to edit the video, this was a new programme as we’d only used Final Cut before this, however it was a powerful tool which allowed us to carry out the editing techniques we’d envisioned.

Photoshop was a tool we were more familiar with and was utilised when executing the Digipak design.

Online Tools

For the website design we utilised Wix, an online website maker which was simple and intuitive to use, yet still powerful enough to achieve the results we wanted.

During research and evaluation we used online presentation tools, such as; Prezi, Google Slides (What I’m using right now!), and Emaze. These were all useful in presenting our ideas and concepts.

Digital Stills Camera

Originally we planned to only use a digital stills camera for Stop motion and use a specialised moving image camera for the rest of the video. However, we discover if used both cameras the ratio wouldn’t match, so we used the moving image camera for the entire video, using the film option to capture the non-stop motion parts.
