Hardware
For my use of hardware in this project, I used mostly hardware that helped me in lighting because I really wanted to emphasize the color scheme I created that was focused on lighting, which I've mentioned in previous blog posts. I used my LED lights around my wall to create a purple color scheme and a mirror light as well so that the lighting would remain light enough so I could see details on the tarot cards and expressions on my actor. For the second part of the scene where the LED lights are no longer in use, I ended up only relying on candle lighting, and it actually worked out well in my favor. In addition to the hardware I used for lighting, I also planned on using a tripod I own but it turns out my tripod was broken and incapable of standing up on its own so I had to handheld shots which I liked better because it made the footage seem more raw and personal.

Software
In terms of the software, I used iMovie to edit my film opening. Even though I have a lot more practice using Premiere Pro because that’s what we used on in-class projects, I felt more comfortable using iMovie because using Premiere, I ran into several issues like my project deleting. Using iMovie worked out well as I found it easy to use as well as having all the features I needed for my project without being overwhelming like Adobe. In addition to iMovie, I also used Canva for my title and credit sequence. I used Canva by creating a video with my title and credits on a green screen with animation, which I then put into iMovie as an overlay and used the green screen feature. This was something I didn't even know was possible beforehand, but it worked well. In editing, I used Pixabay for free copyright-free audios and fontspace.com to find my copyright-free font (Child Witch) for my title and credits.
