blog, uploading videos from Vimeo,
slideshows from Slideshare and audio clips
from Soundcloud.

research and record the data.

results.
• Microsoft Word is an easy format of recording
any data I can collect and can be easily

6. Vimeo
• Vimeo allowed me to research the course
through looking at previous pieces of work
from other students. This would allow me to
see the quality of work I should be aiming for.
• I was also able to watch the work of
independent directors and see the
conventions of a good trailer,
7. YouTube
• I used YouTube to watch professional movie
trailers.
• I had to view trailers to be able to analyse and
deconstruct a trailer and see the pros and
cons of a particular trailer.
8. Google
• As Google is a search engine I was able to
quickly find information relevant to my work.
• Through Google I could access images (of
Magazine covers, contents, etc) from its image
section or access websites such as Empire to
search their cover archive. This would allow
me to find covers to analyse.
9. Planning
• To plan my magazine and poster I primarily used
Photoshop. I used Photoshop to create basic
layout and mock versions to give myself a base to
work off.
• For the trailer I had to rely on a storyboard.
However I found the story board using Google, a
printer to get a hard copy and finally a scanner to
upload it on my blog.

construction process of my coursework.

InDesign.

poster to add bleed marks to make them seem
professional.

interface.
• iMovie allowed me to edit clips together
professionally as well as give me the ability to
