2. YouTube
We first used YouTube to look at different horror trailers to get an idea of what sort of
shots were used in most horror trailers. Also what sort of music was used whether they
had a lot of digetic or non digetic sounds within trailers the reasons behind this was
because we wanted our trailer to look as realistic as possible so we didn’t want to ignore
what real trailers do and not follow the conventions as this would not have been a horror
trailer that way.
The link below is one of the main trailers we
followed from its the trailer to the first saw there
was some camera angles such as the flashing
knife movement which we got inspiration from
the saw trailer.

3. Microsoft Office
During our Planning we mainly I also used Microsoft
did our work on Microsoft word PowerPoint whilst doing my
the reason behind this is because evaluation I found that doing
its a very basic programme to use two questions via a PowerPoint
and one that everyone knows how showed that I could use more
to use. Such as our scripting and 3 technologies that just doing
initial film ideas. four questions filming me.
Again PowerPoint was another
programme I knew well as well
that's why I chose to use this
programme as well.
4. Final Cut Express
I used final cut express to edit my Trailer and evaluation. This was a new
programme to me and it took me a while to get use to how to use alot of tools. One
thing that made the editing hard was that this can only be used on a Mac computer
so I could not just get it for my computer at home this meant I had to plan ahead
when I could come and use the macs in college.
Once I got use to using the
programme it was very good for
editing. We also made our tone cards
on the final cut express programme
to put in to our final trailer.
5. Camera
During the coursework we used two types of cameras they were a
digital camera and a video camera.

6. Photoshop
During the project we had to use Photoshop during the process off creating our magazine
front covers and the film posters. The reason why we decided to use Photoshop was because
of our knowledge of using this programme during our AS coursework when we made out
music magazines. This gave us an insight in to how we could made good magazines because
we had the experience of making similar projects just a year before so it would have been
fresh in our mind.
7. Blogger
The whole of our project was put on to a blogger this made it clearer to read in
different blogs rather than on scraps of paper in a folder. During the use of blogger
we had to use various different programmes to help support our blog as well these
were Slide share and Paint.
We also used slide share these
were mainly for any PowerPoint's We used paint when we had to

on to our blogger which was
easier to read.
