For this filming process, I used a Fujifilm S5Pro in which I took over 400 still frames to create my film. I used a Mac and Final Cut Pro to edits my clips together and add in effects. The top left hand box is to show everything you have imported into the programme. The screen with the image in is where I can see the edits to my film after I have rendered each section. The time line at the bottom is just the same as the iMovie timeline, where you edit your images together creating the full film. I learnt alot from this programme as I taught myself how to use this and learnt what each feature on the programme was. I feel that I have done a very good job learning how to work the programme and without this I do not think I would have been able to create my film in the same way.
To create each stop motion clip, I used istopmotion usually setting the frame rate to 6fps. To create an animation on this program
me you have to import each photograph straight from the digital camera, choose your frame rate and then the images are imported and put together for you. I found this programme a struggle as it always froze and crashed and then I had to restart the programme and re-import my images. I also found it quiet difficult to know how fast the frame rate would actually make the film so there was alot of trial and error in each of the stop motion animations I made.
To create the opening title of 'Un Autre Jour' I used Photoshop CS4. I have alot of knowledge with this programme and use it frequently so I found it easy to create this title. I then imported the Jpeg image straight into Final Cut Pro where it was edited together with the rest of the film.
In order to keep my shots steady I used a tripod for each photograph I took. I found this is a struggle in many photographs I had to take, particularly the part where the curtains open by themselves as to get this shot central I had to put the tripod and camera on my bed and hope that it stayed in the same place throughout each photograph.
