3. PINTEREST
• Pinterest is a
versatile, easy-to-
navigate online pin board
tool that displays visuals
and text linked to
websites.
I used Pinterest to
research my characters
and I created a board
where I added images that
associated well with my
characters. Here you can
see the Pinterest board I
made and called it ’Pain
Perdu'.
4. PIKTOCHART
• An infographic tool with a
wide variety of templates
including useful charts (pie
charts, bar charts taken in
through Excel). Pictochart
works well for presenting your
research and ideas in a graphic
way. I used piktochart to
present my work on
researching audiences.
5. BLOGGER
• Blogger hosted all my other new
technologies at the research and planning
stage. As a multi-media social networking
tool it allowed me to collate, archive,
display and create research and planning
with images, videos, sound files and posts
that I could share with my group. It hosted
all my other presentational tools, from
Emaze to Slideshare. Later, I used it for
feedback (adding my work in progress)
and evaluation of my finished work (on
YouTube). It is easy to use and very
versatile. My blog is the hub of all my
production work.
I have used blogger to host all of media
studies course work.
6. TWITTER
• Twitter is an online news and social
networking service where users can
post and read short 140-
character messages called "tweets".
For me Twitter is a great place to
learn new concepts, read news in
the media and get inspiration for
new ideas. By creating my twitter
account, I can begin to build on my
knowledge of media by reading
tweets from great minds and
communities.
7. SLIDESHARE
• Slideshare is smiler to EMAZE
however this is a platform where you
can present research online that you
have put together on a pervious
platform, such as 'Power Point'. I felt
this was also a very accessible and
clear way to present my work.

• Pinterest allowed us to collect
together a series of images for
the mise-en-scene and . We
sourced images of gory weapons and
french scencery. This was essential
planning to guide our directing of
the scenes. We needed to create an
authentic period feel. Pinterest is a
collaborative tool that let us build up
an image bank.

to my group and keep
in contact for filming
location and production
ideas.

messaging and multimedia
mobile application created
by Evan Spiegel, Bobby
Murphy, and Reggie Brown.
We used this a lot in our
group to communicate
different ideas and for
planning the film.
12. WHATS APP
• I used What'sApp to keep in
touch when planning with
my group. WhatsApp
Messenger uses the
Internet to make voice calls,
one to one video calls; send
text messages, documents,
PDF files, images, GIF,
videos, user location, audio
files, phone contacts and
voice notes to other users
using standard mobile
numbers.
14. DIGITAL CAMERAS
• I used a Nikon D3100 to film
my trailer and a Cannon
D300 to take photos for my
film poster and magazine
cover.
• I found both these cameras
simple and easy to use. They
both worked well as the
quality of filming was great
and uploaded quickly to the
computer.
15. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

film poster and
magazine cover.
• It was easy to navigate
and gave me many
options when it came to
designing my magazine
cover an poster.
16. IMOVIE
• I used this when editing
my film trailer. Whether
you’re using a Mac or an
iOS device, iMovie is
a fantastic way to edit
movies today. It was
a great way for us to add
sound effects, cut clips
and add titles to create
our final film trailer.
17. YOUTUBE
• I used this for inviting feedback on my video as I uploaded my
final film opening onto Youtube. I used the annotations in
media to answer my question one.
19. YOUTUBE
• I used YouTube to present my first
evaluation question, Genre conventions.
This is where I annotated my film trailer
explaining how filmed and edited it. This
was an easy platform to share our trailer
on and is very accessible.

on to my film trailer. This allowed me to
have a final piece with clear annotations
over each shot.

second evaluation question
on combination of film trailer

use and creates clear and
professional looking work.

work online, similar to a
powerpoint. This platform a clear
