Technologies I Have Used

Laurel Wilson

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’

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,
