Tayla Humphris used various technologies to create blog posts, presentations, and timelines for assignments. These included Blogger for blogging, SlideShare for uploading PowerPoints, Timetoast for creating timelines, YouTube for uploading and embedding videos, and ArtOfTheTitle, IMDb, and BBFC for researching films. She also used SurveyMonkey to conduct surveys of her target audience, MediaMagazine for research, Facebook and Twitter to get feedback, PowerPoint and Prezi for presentations, and iMovie to edit drafts of her opening sequence. Freesfx was useful for finding sound effects while FreePlayMusic was more difficult to use for finding score music. Shot Designer on the iPad helped

1. Technologies I Used
Tayla Humphris

2. • This is the site I used to make all my blogposts on. All
posts from Independent Research to Assignments
our teacher had set us.
• I had used iPad Blogger App also for quick access to
check if everything had uploaded.
Blogger and the iPad Blogger App

3. SlideShare
http://www.slideshare.net
Slideshare was helpful when I had to upload
PowerPoints and it is quick and easy to embed on my
blog

4. Timetoast
• I used Timetoast to help make Draft 5 timeline.
• I did not like certain aspects of this website due to
the use of dates which I felt should be left optional.

5. YouTube
https://www.youtube.com
I used YouTube to upload videos and also embed an
inspirational videos via embed to help improve camera
skills etc.

6. ArtOfTheTitle
http://www.artofthetitle.com
This website helped look for Title sequences of all the
movies.
It was also helpful when I couldn’t find Title sequences
on YouTube

7. BBFC
http://www.bbfc.co.uk
The BBFC was helpful when finding out each
certificates guidelines and also helped determine what
certificate the Opening Sequence should be.
I also learnt in general what is expected in each age
certificate which was good to know.

8. iMovie was essential in editing each Drafts of
our Opening Sequence
iMovie

9. SurveyMonkey
https://www.surveymonkey.com
This website helped determine what our target audience
enjoyed in different genres. It helped our development of
ideas which helped us with the base of our Opening
Sequence.
Easy to use and let you be creative when asking open or
closed questions.

10. MediaMagazine
http://www.englishandmedia.co.uk/mm/
This website has its own monthly magazine all
about the Media Industry
It allowed me to look and research into specific
content that could potentially inspire my ideas

11. Facebook & Twitter
• Facebook and Twitter helped me get responses for
my development of ideas.
• Accessed globally so responses were easy to get

12. IMDb
http://www.imdb.com
This website was extremely helpful when finding
out information for films such as directors,
producers and distributors.
It even had independent films which are hard to
get information for

13. Powerpoint & Prezi
Powerpoint was used for most assignments as it
is the easiest format to use.
For some assignments I had used Prezi. It is a
good presentation ,but while making the
presentation I found it really hard to use when
making sure the information fitted.

14. FreePlayMusic
http://www.freeplaymusic.com
I found FreePlayMusic quite hard to use, as it is mainly score
music when you try to search something for example “Scary”
the results would come up with some Happy/Cheerful songs.
Finding our score music tracks was hard using this site.

15. Freesfx
http://www.freesfx.co.uk
Unlike FreePlayMusic this website really helped in
terms of sound effects specifically. Search results were
easy as you could type in a specific sound you want and
it will come up with numerous suggestions.

16. Shot Designer on iPad
I found this app on my iPad and this helped me draw a
design for the shotlist and was easy to use after watching
the tutorial they suggest watching before using.
It was also and easy guideline to go by when filming
