CCR Q#4

     Finally, the last CCR question! You know the drill, since I already explained my filming ideas I'll just get right into the question.
    How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
    I'll split this post up into three parts to make it easy to navigate (mostly for myself)
- Software
- Hardware
- Online

Software:

    In this project, The software I utilized the most was Adobe Premiere Pro. This was to edit my ENTIRE film opening! I feel as through it's pretty obvious as to how that one was integrated. Another form of software I used was Voice memos and Pixabay. Both of these were used for sound purposes, but one was for recording while the other was for looking for copyright free sound effects. Voice memos was used specifically while I was recording the opening music, and Pixabay was only really needed for the fluorescent buzzing sound. Pixabay specifically was used since it provides copyright free audios that are downloadable without any form of account creation needed.

Hardware:

    Hardware was a big one for me! First of all, the hardware used to film was literally just my iPhone 13. I was a bit worried going into the filming knowing I would only have my iPhone for the recording, so i asked my friend if he could bring in his camera, but sadly it was having issues and couldn't be used. For my lighting I had bought two lights with color filter sheets, and a sunset lamp. The sunset lamp was most important to the film since it had settings with natural sunlight replicating light, and accurate lighting used in dorm rooms, so my setting was more accurate with it. On top of this, I also had to use my HP laptop to edit everything. Also my keyboard to play the opening music I made, which, by the way, wasn't specifically composed. I just sat down and played whatever felt right for the film after picking a chord.

Online:

    Now for online. First of all, I use blogger to post about my project! This not only helped me stay organized but also helped me document every time something important was going on with the film. I also used WhatsApp to communicate with my actors, and also send myself everything recorded on my phone to transport it to my laptop. I also used google drive to save my project in between edits. Most importantly, YouTube had helped me a LOT since it gave me a platform to upload my project, and also gave me a ton of tutorials for how to do some specific techniques on Adobe Premiere.
