In order to complete our production, we will need several types of both hardware and software. I covered all of the electronic hardware within my technical research, and will therefore avoid going over it again.
To produce our ancillary pieces, we will require 'Photoshop' which will easily allow us to edit our magazine cover and poster, which we can access on our home computers. We will also need to use Final Cut Pro to edit our final production piece, which is available at our college. We used Final Cut Pro last year and it was easy to navigate around, yet had all of the tools we needed to edit our production well. Photoshop on the other hand is new to us, therefore we will have to look up some tutorials to learn how to use it. There are a number of tutorials on Youtube which we will watch very soon, and we'll also refresh our minds on how to use Final Cut Pro, due to our year long hiatus from it.
Resources/Props
School/Friend photograph - We will produce a physical copy of this by using a Polaroid camera, which is old fashioned in itself, complimenting our character's style that we are trying to emphasise. Polaroid cameras print a picture the moment it has been taken, often with a brown tint or in black and white, which will be effective in creating a dark atmosphere within the film. We have friends with Polaroid cameras so acquiring one won't be a problem.
Knives - Everybody who is starring in our film owns knives, however we will choose those of a significant size to appear throughout the trailer, as it will appear more dangerous, and will be more noticeable to the audience. Knives are obviously sharp and may be a safety hazard, and we will cover this in our risk assessments.
Vinyl Player - Lucy has her own vinyl player which she will bring when we shoot the footage.
Scribbles on Paper - This can be made by ourselves by simply scribbling on some paper, we will also crinkle it so that it looks old, which will be odd to the audience as to why our character is yet to throw it away.
Old Books - Me, Megan and Lucy are all avid readers, therefore we have many books that we can bring to place in Lucy's room.
Clothes - Lucy has a vast wardrobe, including many old fashioned items of clothing which I have covered when I looked at different costumes she could wear. Because of this we will not need to go out and purchase any new items of clothing.
