Software

In the production of our movie we will use a few pieces of software. The main software we will be using is Final Cut Express 4. We have chosen to edit our film in this programs over others (iMovie used last year etc.) because it is a very complex movie editing program but with a wider arrange of tools to others we can produce much higher quality films. It is also at the film industry standard where films such as District 9. Me and my partner recently under-went a Editing Master-class at the co-op young filmmakers festival where we used another version of Final Cut, but is practically the same.



To compose music for our film we will be using Garageband. This is because it has a wide range of audio sounds which we can use and also it is simple to hook up an instrument and record live to compose our own music. Other software similar to this may be Logic Express 8, this is more complex, but can create better pieces.

To create graphical images we will be using Adobe PhotoShop Elements 6. This is because it is a highly complex program with a wide array of tools which can produce very high quality images. We will be using it mainly for teaser poster but also may create some slides which may feature in the film



Update 10/12/09
We will now be doing all the editing on Sony Vegas Pro. This is because I have used it more at home before, and also since it is at home I can work on it more freely. It is very similar to Final Cut with the precision of the editing and tools available.
