I used Microsoft Word to create my magazine review which is rather unconventional. I decided on this because I'm very familiar with Word and I knew that I would be able to achieve exactly what I wanted using it. My magazine page was rather minimalistic so all the graphics were very easy to achieve and I could easily position images and text exactly where I wanted them and then change that at a later date if I needed to

To actually edit my video, I used iMovie as it came free with my MacBook Pro. iMovie is very user friendly and didn't take long at all to get a grip with how it works. Like most video editing softwares, I could do the basics such as cut clips down and splice them together in a timeline. It also gave me colour correction tools and let me play around a little with sound levels and automatic camera steadying. The main issue came with adding custom text for the title - each new letter added was a new screenshot which I positioned slightly to make it look like a typewriter wrote it. I also used iMovie for question 3 of my evaluation which I did as a live reaction.

I chose to use Lightroom as my photo editing software for my poster as opposed to something more mainstream (e.g. Photoshop) as Lightroom was something that I was already familiar with. The photo I was editing - the stapler on a plain white background - didn't require that much work to get it to how I wanted it as I had composed the photo exactly how I wanted it. I mainly needed to bring out the light and make the background slightly whiter. Lightroom allowed me to add all the text and logos to the poster with ease. The only thing that was a bit of a struggle was removing the WHSmith logo from the stapler.

Fairly similar to Google Slides, I used Prezi for multiple things throughout my research and evaluation stages. Prezi is a website that allows you to create slideshows however they are more dynamic than that of Google Slides and Powerpoint and become more complex the more the presentation goes on. I used it for my research into real film posters and magazine reviews as well as my evaluation on how my film compares to real media products. The only drawback to Prezi is that it takes a bit more time and effort to make the presentation look good.

I used Google Slides for a variety of things throughout my research, planning and evaluation stages. Google Slides is a slideshow creating website - fairly similar to the likes of Powerpoint - that allows you to create, upload and view them online. During my research I used Google Slides to present my research on Propp's narrative theory as it was a clean and concise way to show it. I also used Google Slides to upload my storyboard which I had hand drawn and needed somewhere to easily show the 75 slides. The fact that Google Slides also has an option to autoplay the slideshow worked wonders with my storyboard.

When it came to actually writing the script, I used the software Celtx. This scriptwriting software is very user friendly and allowed me to write out multiple drafts in a professional, industry standard format. It uses different tabs to help organise the text formatting (e.g. Dialogue, Character, Scene heading etc.) and has an online collaboration functionality if I was to work with somebody else. I was able to use the Celtx mobile app in conjunction with it - this allowed me to work on the script wherever I was as the document saved to the cloud.

I used Padlet to put together props and costume lists. It was a good tool for creating and organising lists as you can easily place new 'notepads' for each item you need to purchase. Each notepad allows for a title, description and photo (or other media) to be attached to it. For the costume list, I made sure that there were two columns - one for each character. This meant that it was even easier to organise. I also used Padlet for my evaluation (this question now to be precise) as the formatting leant itself to listing lots of examples.

In order for me to get a grasp as to what kind of media product people wanted, I used Survey Monkey. This website allowed me to create a digital survey that I could send out to people through methods such as email and Facebook Messenger. Not only did Survey Monkey create a digital survey for people to do - making it easier to collect the results - but it also tallied up the results and put them easy to understand tables and graphs. This allowed me to easily analyse the results and get a good idea as to what people wanted out of a short film.

I didn't use YouTube for much other than posting my individual drafts of the video. I posted all six drafts (and the final piece) on the website as well as camera tests and technical tests as well. I uploaded all of my videos as 'unlisted' which meant that they would not appear if you searched for them and they would not come up as recommended videos but you would be able to view them with a link. Because YouTube and Blogger are both owned by Google, it was very easy to embed the videos onto my blog to store them with the rest of my work. I also used YouTube as a platform to upload the video portion of my evaluation.

I used Blogger for my central hub for all my work. I needed somewhere that I could easily upload everything from my research all the way to my evaluation. Some of may posts were composed directly on to my blog (for example my mockumentary analysis) while others were embedded into a blog post from a separate site. I was able to use labels to easily organise all my posts and to let people find exactly what they are looking for. Blogger was a good blogging website to use as it allowed for multiple contributors on the blog. This meant that my teachers were able to comment and make posts helping me with everything I was posting.
