Technology During Production

During this process, we did not use as much technology as originally expected. However, we did use an Iphone XR for filming all the scenes, voice memo app, and iMovie. Most of the technology that we used was pretty simple to navigate since we’ve worked with these pieces of technology at least once in the past. The lack of technology we had contributed to the overall feel of the movie because it made it seem much less fancier and like a proper movie. For example, since we didn’t use a tripod for any of the shots, they came out shaky. Although this might seem like a bad idea for any other movie, it was perfect for our movie because it makes the audience feel like there was some sort of panic and it also made the scenes seem a lot more realistic. We also didn’t use any artificial lighting and relied on natural lighting since our opening scene is being filmed in the woods and this would add a more realistic feel. However, by doing this we experienced a lot of problems since we weren’t able to shoot everything in one day and had to take shots on different days with different lighting. Lastly, I had previously said that we knew how to work our technology since we had used it in the past, but that doesn’t mean that we didn’t have any sort of trouble when it came to using it, even though the problems were very minor.
