Software

•The software i used to produce the film is called imovie 06.



The advantages of using the software:

The advantages of using the specific piece of software are that there is no limit on the amount of clips you are allowed to add. Also it is easy to use such as when you have all your clips uploaded from your camcorder you just drag and drop each clip at the bottom of the page and put it into your own order. Also it is very easy to add specific effects, audio and visual as you have a menu on the right of the page and you just choose any option and apply it to your movie or specific clip.



The disadvantages of using the software:

The disadvantages of using this software are things such as when you want to reduce the size of the clip or cut it there are several different ways to do it, this also goes for when you are adding your own music from garage band etc. Also there are lots of different aspects to choose from and there are lots of different menus to choose from so it is quite complicated.

My stengths and weaknesses using the software:

My strengths using the software is that i can order my clips and provide a basic story by using simple editing techniques such as cutting the text and making the timing correct through out all of the clips. I also find it very easy to apply visual and audio effects. However my weaknesses are that i need to use more complex effects using sounds from garage band and also when i come to edit each clip sometimes i cant get to grips with making the credits look professional instead of just using a black background with white text.

To over come my weaknesses i used the tutorials on the apple website. They are video tutorials and take you through each step.



As you can see on the picture above there are different options on the left (bullet point arrows) which give detailed stages on what you want to learn.
