How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Making sure that I could produce the most professional media products possible, I took as much advantage of the media technology possible.
When researching my media production I used the internet, google search engine to find out information about horror, my chosen genre.  I also used websites such as Apple Trailers, Youtube, the film education website and wikipedia.

Using the Film Education website helped me with my initial research in to teaser trailers, and understand the conventions of the genre Horror that I was using to complete my coursework.

Using Apple Trailers, was very useful when researching teaser trailers, this was because it has a whole section dedicated just to horror film trailers, this helped to pick out the conventions easily.

For the front cover we were basing it on Total Film.  Using the Total Film magazine website helped to gather ideas and identify the conventions that should be used in my own product. 

YouTube was a helpful recourse to look in to well known older film trailers that were not shown on the apple trailer website.
