3. PIKTOCHART
Piktochart is an infographic tool with a wide variety of templates. It works
well with presenting your work and it is laid out simply. I used Piktochart to
present my work on researching audiences.
4. PINTEREST
Pinterest enabled us to collect together a series
of images for the mise-en-scene and props for
our film opening was going to be set out. We
sourced images of French kitchens, Young girls
and Older women to symbolise the aunty. This
helped our group to understand what they
wore and their postures and gestures.
5. MAGAZINES
I studied and analysed multiple, different magazine covers which helped me
gain an idea as to how they are set out and the typical conventions displayed
so that when I came down to designing my own magazine cover for my film it
had a greater impact with the audience.
6. BLOGGER
We have used Blogger to document the work
we have done through our posts that we could
share with the rest of our group. It is easy to use
and the host of all my media coursework. It also
hosted all my other presentational tools from
Prezi to Slideshare.
7. TWITTER
Users on Twitter can retweet things that interest them to spread it and can
make it go viral. We made a Twitter account for our film trailer.
8. FACEBOOK
Facebook was a good social media website to use as it allowed
me to look up the pages of big, successful films. This gave me
inspiration and was also helpful to see how the film was run
and marketed by the big companies. We can invite friends to
look at our film page and also gain feedback about our
production. This feedback helped us evaluate our film
opening.
9. INSTAGRAM
I made an Instagram account for our
groups trailer to attract the address
of audiences. Instagram has a wide
range of users and different
audiences. A lot of our target
audience are teenagers and they are
the main users of Instagram.
Therefore, it is a good place for
advertisement. On the account that I
created, I followed other thriller films
in order to gain inspiration.
10. SLIDESHARE
Slideshare is a similar platform to Emaze, however I found Slideshare a
good way to present work I had already put together on previous
platforms such as Powerpoint.
12. PINTEREST
I looked up pictures of gory images and weapons to plan what props to
use in our trailer. We decided to use fake bloody and a knife. This was
essential planning to guide our directing of the scenes. Pinterest is a
collaborative tool that let us build up an image bank.
13. MOBILE PHONES
I used my mobile phone to keep in touch with the rest of my group when
we were planning shots and if any of us had ideas.
15. DIGITAL CAMERA
I used the
Nikon D300
to film for our
film trailer. I
found it easy
to use and
the quality
was great.
16. I MOVIE
I Movie was our main editing tool as we find it the easiest to use. It is good
for cropping unwanted film and adding in extra sounds or effects.
17. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
I used Adobe Photoshop to design and edit my film poster and film
magazine cover.
18. YOUTUBE
This is the platform on which I shared my final film trailer. I was able to get
feedback from this as I was able to invite friends to watch it.
19. TAPE RECORDER
Our group recorded the strums and the harsh bowing of the
violin and also the voice over on the voice notes on our phone
for the non diegetic sound.
20. AIRDROP
My group used Airdrop to send photos and videos to each other.
21. TRIPOD
The tripod stabilised the filming so the final product looked much more
professional and well done that it would have if we filmed by hand.
23. EMAZE
Like Slideshare, Emaze presents work
visually with beautiful graphical tools.
I used Emaze a lot when presenting
my analysis and deconstruction of my
own film poster and magazine cover,
it was very useful and a unique
alternative to Powerpoint.
24. I MOVIE
After I uploaded my final film trailer to Youtube from iMovie, I went back
to the film trailer on iMovie and put annotations on each shot to explain to
the audience what we were trying to achieve and why we thought it was
effective. Therefore, I was able to have clear annotations on my final piece.
25. PREZI
I used Prezi to present my second evaluation question on the combination
of main and ancillaries. I loved the way Prezi is presented professionally
and laid out clearly.
26. QUICKTIME
I used Quicktime player to record the voice over
and moving image of me going through the
slides for the analysis of the Sixth Sense film
poster. This was done through Quicktime taking
a recording of my computer screen.
