Technology

When first discussing what we should film our trailer with we decided on using our iPhones. As all of us had the iPhone 5 we felt this would be the best camera to use as its portable, easy to carry, easy to use and the camera is HD. We found that because of technological convergance the iPhones had better quality images rather than a video camera.

The benefits of using an iPhone 5s: 

1. iPhone 5s features a state-of-the-art sensor that increases the area available for pixels by 15 per cent
2. The iSight camera on iPhone 5s features an impressive 33 per cent increate in light sensitivity
3. Fast phone capture and up to 2x faster autofocus
4. Continuously captures 10 photos per second
5. Capture moments in stunning 1080p HD and you are able to take still photos as you record

This then allows for us to capture moments in the filming quickly without having to worry about turning on the camera to shoot. You are also able to switch on stabiliser which when holding the camera it stops the images from shaking and blurring. 

When using the iPhone you are then able to transfer your images to iMovie on the phone which then enables you to see what shots would look like together.  

iMOVIE 

iMovie allows us to bring together all the shots and then create the trailer. This software has everything on it and is easy to use. From AS we have become more comfortable with the programme which means we can do things we were not able to do before. 

When filming we will be using natural light as well as enforced lighting. We want to use as much natural lighting as possible in the day shots to capture the mood. But when it starts to get darker and we do the night shots we have got a portable torch
