An Apple iMac installed with iMovie was used to edit the film. From using this, I learnt that editing is a long a vigourous progress. I found this out because every second counts and you have to make sure that it all comes together smoothly. For example not all of the footage that was filmed was not put in the final cut of the film.
A Canon 550D DLR camera was used to film the opening sequence. From using this camera I learnt that you have to know what you're shooting, the lighting is right and the angle of the shot. Knowing all of these makes the filming much more efficient because you already have what you want in mind (or on paper) so there is less improvisation.
Using a tripod whilst filming has the taught me the difference that it makes. There is virtually no shaking and panning shots are much smoother as it's easier to control with the given handle. The feature of adjusting the height of the tripod was also helpful to help us change the angle of the camera.
This lightswere available for use on set but at the end we decided not to use them. We decided to just use lamps because these where to bright and there wasn't a filter that was the appropriate tone for the film.
