Use Video Hardware and Software to Capture Sequences

1.1 - USE VIDEO HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO CAPTURE SEQUENCES: INPUT DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED SOFTWARE
To film my movie, I will be using the camera on my iPhone XS since it can record in 4k 60fps. Since I am filming on my phone, I will not need to use an SD card. To edit my film I will be using Adobe Premiere Pro 2018 on my own PC at home.
These are the specs for the camera:
Dual 12MP wide-angle and telephoto cameras
Six-element lens
Dual optical image stabilisation





1.2/1.3 - USE VIDEO HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO CAPTURE SEQUENCES: USE INPUT DEVICES AND VIDEO SOFTWARE, AND IDENTIFYING FILE FORMATS
To film on the iPhone all you need to do is click on the camera app then press red/white button to record. The iPhone saves all video files as a .MOV file. A .MOV file is a common multiedia file format that was developed by Apple and is compatible with Windows and Macintosh platforms. MOV files commonly use the MPEG-4 codec for compression and it may contain multiple tracks that store different types of media data.


1.4. - STORE AND RETRIEVE SEQUENCES USING PRE-SET FILE FORMATS
To transfer all of my footage from my iPhone I need to connect the USB lightning cable that comes with all iPhone's into my phone and then into a USB slot on my pc. After transferring all of the files, I put them all into the file on my PC so I knew where they all were. Then from there I just dragged the clips into premiere pro and edited from there.

2.1/2.2/2.3/2.4 - Use Video Software Tools To Combine and Edit Sequences
The editing software that I used to edit my film was Adobe Premiere Pro 2018. To start editing in premiere pro, I first have to click and drag my footage into the project box and the click and drag it onto the timeline.





Next, to get rid of the audio from my footage I need to right-click the footage in the timeline the select 'unlink' then click on the audio and press delete on my keyboard.

To add my soundtrack I do the same as the footage.

To cut the footage at a certain part I used the arrow keys on my keyboard to find the exact moment I want then pressed the 'C' key for the razor tool and clicked where I wanted to cut.

To add my transitions, I clicked on 'effects' then 'video transitions' then onto 'dissolve' then I chose 'cross dissolve' for my transitions.

To add my credit scenes, I first put a 'colour matte' on the time line then I use the text tool to type my credits. I also used the transition cross dissolve in between each credit so that it blended together.

To export my film I used the h.264 format. (h.264 is a block-oriented motion-compensation-based video compression standard. It supports resolutions up to 8192x4320 and including 8K UHD)


3.1/3.2/3.3/3.4 - Identifying Appropriate Playback Software and Display Device, and Adjusting Settings to Meet Needs
The software that I will be using to playback my film after I have edited it will be VLC Player. VLC Player is a free open-source media player for almost every operating system and is capable of playing any video file, audio file and even DVD movies. VLC Player also uses fast hardware decoding on most platforms.
To play my film back to the rest of the class I will be using a combination of a iMac and a Philips BDL6524ET 65", Edge backlit monitor. I will set the source as HDMI so that the iMac and Philips monitor will link together. The monitor will be set to its cinema mode so that it will show a better picture and show the colours better.
