Wordpress. Wordpress was where my blog is placed. This was the main item I would look back at, it reminded me of what I needed to do and when I was planning to do it. My blog made me more organised. It allowed people who wanted to view my blog see clearly what I had done and when I posted it. My blog also gave me the option to organise my blog in to categories. This meant I could put all of my research and planning in one category which makes seeing previous work done more easier to access. People who want to see stages of the project can also done the same by clicking on the category which is the one they want to view. It is also placed in chronological order which helps me and the viewer see how much progress I have made.

On wordpress when creating a new post you are able to choose which category you want it in. It also allows you to edit the date of a post published and what time it got published. You can do this by pressing the quick edit on the post you want to change. This is helpful because if you make a mistake and put in it in the wrong category or have forgot to upload something you can go back and put it in the right order and time frame so the stages are still in chronological order.

Wordpress. Wordpress also allowed me to post links and polls up. For example when researching trailers I was able to place links in my post and write my comment under the trailer itself. This was helpful because it allowed me to refer back to the trailers I had chosen and compare mine own to actual one out there, it was also a lot quicker to do this as it was on my blog in a category rather than searching for the trailer on youtube. Wordpress also allowed me to place polls in the posts. This helped me to collect data from my target audience.

Wordpress.I have also used wordpress to uploaded my story board to use as a guideline when filming my trailer and I have written a small character profile so I can keep in mind how I want my character to come across in the film trailer. I also got my actress to look at the character and story board before I filmed the trailer so she had a better understanding of the character she was playing. I feel this made a big difference as the actress had more confidence when acting as she knew more information. It also meant that the film went more smoothly.

Google.I used Google to get to Medi@chs which is my schools media website. On this website there were links to other websites which would help and give advice in planning our trailers. The blog also has not only my own blog on but my class mates blogs which allows people to see what the class mates have done. Its also a way to get to get some target audience research by getting people to vote on the polls which you have previously made on wordpress. These polls allow me to see the results and find out what my target audience would like to see. Deadlines are also put on the blog which helps me to stay organised as anything that is posted on the main section of the blog automatically sends an email straight to your email address which means I have a constant reminder.

Google.I used Google to research Film magazines and posters. Google allowed me to view are range of different genres. This allowed me to help compare them when analysing them. I have also used Google to get pictures of advertising such as bus stops so I could place my own poster over the top of them. I also used a site called dafont to create my film name in the style I wanted. This font helped the name stand out on my poster and film magazine because it was so different from the normal ones you get. I also used Google images to research film magazine and poster designs that already exist.

Google. I also used Google images to research film magazine and poster designs that already exist. Google was the main place I went to do my research for my poster and magazine because it had such a variety of examples. I could also be very specific in what style I wanted to research and Google still gave me examples such as I typed in to Google inception poster and it gave me lots of different examples of the film posters. This meant I could choose the best poster to analyse and get the best research from.

Google. I have also used Google to research existing idents and logos that are already out there. I have mainly focused on the colours and the layout of the idents. I also looked at how idents changed depending on the film such as the Warner Brothers logo changes to a darker colour before the Harry Potter film so the logo fits in with the theme of the film. I also used google to research film age guidelines and the definition for each of them. This was helpful and I had to bare in mind what I could put in my trailer and if it was suitable for my target audiences age range. AI also used Google to research green preview screen to go at the start of my trailer. I wanted to add this in because I wanted my trailer to look more authentic.
