Research and Planning

Edublogs

An Edublogs is a blog created for educational purposes, here is mine: http://sspencerchs.edublogs.org/

Edublogs has been a helpful platform to display and keep track of my work throughout this project. It offers sophisticated designs and layouts which enable other software's to be embedded to create dynamic and versatile posts.

This free blogging-base site is also capable to be displayed upon smart devices which has allowed me to follow up any comments from viewers on the go.

YouTube is a video-sharing website, on which users can upload, view and share videos.

This social site has allowed me to find multiple videos covering every known genre and an endless source of film trailers. This has allowed me to depict the certain characteristic of my chosen genre ‘Social Realism’ through my main influences of ‘Little Birds’ and ‘Fish Tank’.

This media platform also comes equipped with embed codes to easily display on sites such as Edublogs.

With my own channel I can easily keep and access the videos I uploaded.

Google Chrome and Internet Explorer I used Google Chrome and Internet explorer as a mean of getting hold of images, information and characteristics of trailers, both Social Realism and Thriller.

This inspired my later creations of a poster and magazine cover. As I had easy access to existing and successful sources of real products used in the film and advertising industry, I find that myancillary texts have turned out professionally.
