Adobe after effects was used to create the idents which were Uncertain productions and Psycho logical pictures these were animated and the transitions were created using the program. This was done by using the masking tool which would create an effect where an object would be hidden and would be written the idents in. This was used on the text of the idents and the logo of the idents to great effectiveness. It also allowed the video to be exported easily which made the overall experience a lot better. Overall I feel that After effects was a very useful program and it completed it's purpose for which we used for.

Adobe Photoshop was used to make the images the idents logo designs. This was done so that the images that we chose would work on Adobe after effects. In order to get the images to work we made the main part of the images white and turned the background black, we then used the magic eraser tool to remove the black background to make the background transparent, This was done so that the background would not get in the way if we wanted to rotate or move the images. I believe that Photoshop suited the needs that we needed and was perfect for the creation of are idents.

Final cut pro was used to create the final project this was done by putting the footage that we had on its timeline system we were able to edit the footage and move it along the timeline as we pleased. We also added the idents video from after effects to final cut pro which shows that final cut pro was able to accept other formats not just formats for mac computers. We were also able to add effects to the project to make the footage look more professional. Overall we feel that it was a useful program thought it had a few issues to do with its tool however theses are miner problems and ultimately I think that it has work well.

For the filming of the project we decided on using mobile phone. The phone that we used the most was an IPhone 5S which had a good quality camera for filming. For the scenes which we filmed in the dark we used a Motorola g 2nd generation phone, this phone did not have the best quality camera but it created an interesting shadow effect when the footage was recorded on it which we decided to use.

The tripod we used allowed us to use a mobile phone to film which was a great help. it also helped use do panning shot and to keep the camera steady. It allowed for lower shots and higher shots. Overall the tripod was a great help and make the production run a bit smoother.
