During the research, planning, and production stages of creating a film, the document's author relied heavily on online resources. They used tutorials and clips found on the internet to learn about equipment, storyboarding, shot lists, and editing software. Social media was also key for communicating with focus groups during the planning process. Without access to these online resources, the author would have lacked important information and been unable to complete several parts of the filmmaking task.

2. During the research part of the task I used the internet a lot in helping me
find out about the equipment I would be using such as camera tutorials and
using previous online research and demographics to help with my own
research. I also used online sites to find clips to films I was watching to find
codes and conventions to follow in my own film, without using the internet
for this I would not have been able to access these clips unless I owned the
DVD’s at home or were to rent them out.

3. When planning our film we needed to look up templates for storyboards and
professional shot lists as we had no experience in these areas again using the
internet, also to look up tutorials of how to best use he cameras we had been
given.The social networking group Facebook was key to our planning as it
was the way we were able to communicate with out focus group in order to
make big decisions in our film.

4. During production I was introduced to editing programs such as final cut pro
that I had previously had no experience with, to be able to use this piece of
technology I first had to use the internet to look up tutorials on how to use
the program showing convergence between different types of media.
