Technology

iMovie: Using iMovie we were able to insert smooth and professional transitions and exciting text, which enhanced our trailer considerably. We also discovered an option to use a trailer template but we decided to not use this in the end as it limited our freedom of what shots to include.

Copyright Free Music Websites: The background music for our trailer was a struggle to fins at first. We originally went on bensounds.com to look for music but there was no soundtracks that we felt matched the atmosphere we wanted to create. Then we went on to a copyright free music website called epidemicsound.com. 

Eventually, we found a track called 'Distance 12', which we could download for free and import onto iMovie. This music is ominous and tense, which is the mood we intended to create. 

Canon DSLR vs. iPhone: We did originally consider using the Canon DSLR camera but after a couple of test shots we actually found it harder to get the image to focus. 

As a result, we filmed the entire trailer on one iPhone 7 camera. At times, especially in low lighting, the quality of the film was not so good. However, we are glad we used this new technology because it meant we did not waste time charging camera batteries, clearing memory card space and downloading videos.

Film and TV Streaming Services: This was used throughout our research stages.
