Question 6: What media technologies have we used?

When Given the task to produce a technology driven product such as the opening to a fictional big budget conventional film , we began to  develop skills when it came to using our technological skills to record footage, edit and plan the outcome to an exceptional standard.

In this breif overlook, we’ll cover each area of technology and how they’ve helped with the development with of my media product
Practical technologies are those which are used to initially produce our film, in more simpler terms, the equipment and technology we physically used to make our film. These include:

The Mi (or moving image) Camera: used to film the entire opening.

A Tripod to keep shots steady and is used to pivot the camera in some scenes (as will be shown)

A Fig Rig steadycam which allows more stabilised handheld shots (As shown below)

Theses technologies will have helped to create our production and develop our media skills by holding steady shots.In this clip we show how the tripod is used in an experimental fashion by tilting the tripod onto its two side legs, it creates this tilt, crane-like effect which turned out effective when shooting these two shots.Our second clip shows off how we used the fig rig to peform more steady, handheld shows which dynamically move around the objects as seen in the first shot and how free and flowing the movement is from the fig rig in shot 2.
