2. However my media products challenge conventions casting-wise as I had an all-female cast which is very rare in mainstream Hollywood films of any genre. Most of the media products I researched in preparation for creating my own media products had males in the leading roles.

7. The digital media technology I utilized most throughout this process was the Wordpress blog where we had to upload our work from the research and planning, construction and evaluation stages, as opposed to handing in any physical copies.

8. I also used Final Cut Express (editing software) to edit the footage I captured on a camcorder.

9. I also used Adobe Photoshop to create my film poster and magazine cover and make them look as authentic and professional as possible.

10. I used various filming equipment such as a camcorder, rifle microphone, tripod and fishpole on the day of filming.

11. In the postproduction process I used a copyright-free sound effect Iwas able to download online.

12. What would you do differently next time? If I went through this process again I would definitely manage my time more efficiently as this was an issue for me. As I started filming later than I had initially hoped to, due to unavailable actors and problems with equipment this meant I had less time to edit and work on other areas of my blog. I would also re-take a number of scenes less times so I would not be left with as much footage to edit down in Final Cut as this was an unnecessarily time-consuming process due to the copious footage I shot for my teaser trailer.
