1. Photoshop -Photoshop will be used to edit any images that are taken. This will mainly be
used when we conduct our individual tasks whether it is to design a poster for the film or
a double page film review that would feature in a magazine. Photoshop was chosen as
we feel it offers the most advanced tools which will allow us to create a professional
looking product.
Soundtrack Pro – Soundtrack Pro will be used when we are in the process of editing our
short film. The majority of editing will take place on a mac; we therefore felt that this
was the best software to use. As it not only offers free soundtracks and sound affects but
also enables us to upload our own.
Final Cut Pro – We will use final cut during post production, we have chosen final
cut as it enables us to edit our footage and pick shot by shot the running of our
film. As well as edit the colour, frame and sequence using the timeline.

any planning that we conduct including our letter of permission form. We will also
be able to use Microsoft word to create our pre and post questionnaires.

created on Microsoft word. Scribd allows us to present our work on the web
quickly and easily.

images. We will also be uploading any evidence of work to Photobucket.

for our planning and research such as mise-en-scene and genre research.

2. Sildeshare – slide share will be used to upload presentations on our target audience
and our graphs for post and pre questionnaire results. Sildeshare was chosen as it
quick and efficient and also has a direct link to blogger allowing us to upload our
work to our blog in a matter of minutes.
Blogger – Blogger was chosen as each candidate within the group has previous
experience of the software from their foundation portfolio’s it was therefore
decided that we would use it again to keep record o. our project. It also allows us to
upload work from various other sites such as Photobucket
Excel 2011 – Microsoft excel will allow us to enter our results from both the pre and
post questionnaire using a spread sheet which can then easily be converted into a
graph or chart to clearly show our results.

to conduct key research into other products and let us compare ours to another.
