2. I got most of the research from the internet
and websites such as YouTube.
Google also was a useful source as it allowed
me to get information about different types
of Short Film genres.
My phone internet was also available for
research. I used my phone to watch YouTube
videos as YouTube is not available in my
school.
3. While planning and research stage I used lots
of different programmes such as:
4. Blogger was the most important thing as I
used it to upload all my posts. It was really
good as it is easy to use to keep a track of
how well your doing while working. It was
useful as I could embed pictures and videos
to show where I got my ideas from. I used
blogger like a diary as I was constantly
uploading posts with ideas.
5. I used Microsoft Word to create my script.
This allowed me to print copies and develop
the script by writing notes directly onto the
paper. I could then easily change them on
word.
6. I also used my laptop to do lots of research at
home on the internet when I was not in school. It
allowed me to watch Short Films from my genre.
YouTube was not accessible from my school so it
was very hard to watch short films therefore I
had to watch them at home and this allowed me
then to analyse them. However, I did watch
some on my phone but sometimes the network
was really slow, which was time consuming.
Google also helped me to research anything that
I needed to know about Short Films e.g. Codes
and Conventions.
7. For my first draft I filmed with a video camera and for my final product I
filmed with my phone.
An advantage of both is that it allowed me to film clips.
A disadvantage with the video camera is that when I came to the editing
stage and put all the clips together a white transition came up every time it
changed from one to another.
A disadvantage with the iPhone is that you had to be very careful of which
way your holding the camera. I had to make sure that I am holding the
phone landscape every time because if hold it portrait the clip is going to
come out different. So I had to make sure I filmed everything in one layout.
After filming I uploaded all my footage into the iMac with a firewire and
uploaded it to Adobe Premiere Pro. I then chose the footage that I wanted
to include in my Short Film. I then added it into the timeline and edited it.
I also used Adobe Photoshop ti make a Poster for my Short Film.
8. A image of my video during
the construction progress.

recorded.

10. Blogger was used to record my research and
planning, filming and editing throughout my
process.
For my evaluation I used
PowerPoint/Slideshare. All I had to do was
type in the answer on PowerPoint and then
convert it into Slideshare in order to post it
on Blogger. It was not that hard.
I also used Prezi.
