1. Technologies I Have
Used
Laurel Wilson

2. BLOGGER and THE BLOGGER APP
- Blogger is what we used to present all of our work. Blogger is simple website
to use in order to document your work. Therefore, using it was not that
challenging. It is easy to post images and also embed links and PowerPoints,
which is extremely useful for our coursework.
- The Blogger app is very helpful as if you do nor have access to a computer
or laptop, you can post straight from your phone iPad or Tablet.

3. SLIDESHARE
- Slideshare is the easiest to use when it comes to embedding PowerPoints into
your blog. This has been helpful during this course as embedding
PowerPoints from this website does not take long and has simple steps to
follow if you were to get stuck.

4. Google and Gmail
- Using both Gmail and Google
have been imperative, especially
when using blogger. As you
have to use both in order to use
it. Most pictures I have used
have been from Google also.

5. BENSOUND
- Bensound is the website that we
used to find sound inspiration.
Both sounds used in our trailer
came from Bensound. This is a
useful website as it is royalty free,
meaning that we do not have to
ask for permission to use music.

6. PREZI AND POWERPOINT
- PowerPoint and Prezi were helpful
when it came to presentations.
Although I mainly used
PowerPoint as I felt most
comfortable with this. Prezi was
used to answer Evaluation
Question 1.

7. YOUTUBE
• YouTube was used to
search for videos for
inspiration, help and to
upload our final draft to.
YouTube has been a
useful source during this
A2 course.

8. BBFC
• Using the BBFC film rating
has been useful to
understand different film
ratings. This ultimately
helped us choose 15+ to be
our film rating for ‘Black
Juice’

9. FINAL CUT PRO X AND PHOTOSHOP
• All our drafts were edited using final cut pro. At first, we felt more
comfortable using iMovie, however final cut gives a more professional look
to our trailers and although it is more complex to use, we ended up
preferring it.
• Our Ancillary Tasks were edited using Photoshop,
