CCR Research #4

Hi Cambridge!!

Today I am going to be talking about question #4

How did you integrate technologies software, hardware, and online in this project?

For this question it is important to:

• Discuss hardware camera, lighting, microphone, phones, tripod, Dollie’s, sliders,etc
• Discuss software, planning tools, editing tools
• Graphic design tools filter, and animation tools

For the CCR Script

For this project, we used different types of technology including hardware, software, and online tools to create our film opening.

For the hardware, we used two different cameras to film our scenes. The beach scenes were filmed on a digital camera for the opening shot then shifts to a Sony a7iii camera, while the bedroom scene was filmed using an iPhone. On the iPhone we used the Blackmagic Camera app because it allowed us to control things like exposure and focus, which helped make the footage look more professional. For the beach scenes we also used a microphone to capture clearer audio of the environment it didn't work out as planned but I used sound effects, including the waves and seagulls. We used a tripod during the beach scenes to keep the shots stable some shots were handheld on purpose, but for the bedroom scene we filmed handheld to make it feel more natural and personal and didn't use microphone instead I used a website called Adobe Podcast this improves the audio quality. We also relied on natural lighting for all of the scenes, especially at the beach, which helped create a realistic and cinematic atmosphere.

For the software, I edited the entire film opening using Adobe Premiere Pro. In the editing process I cut and arranged the clips, adjusted the pacing, and added sound effects like ocean waves in the opening black screen. This helped build suspense and allowed viewers to imagine the setting before seeing it.

For graphic design, my partner created the film title and credits using Canva. We chose a cursive style font to match the emotional tone of the story. The animation for the text was a simple fade in and fade out, which keeps the titles clean and professional while not distracting from the visuals.

By combining different hardware, editing software, and graphic design tools, we were able to produce a more clean and cinematic film opening.
