  Video Camera: Tofilm most of our research and final trailer we used a HD Canon camera. This camera was very useful in terms of all the buttons it had for example there was zoom, pause, record, stop – all the basic necessities to film scenes. iMac: To edit my film opening I used my iMac. Having the iMac was vital for me to have. The iMac offered many software/programs to choose from which would be best appropriate to use. It was much professional than a usual school computer as it was advanced and its compatibility with media products to create was very good. Since I have had experience with them before, using the iMac again to produce certain tasks increased my skills to be familiar with it. I found it easier to multitask with the iMac than the school computers. The tools which I could use was very much helpful too. The iMac had a very fast processor which made my work efficient as I could get more done with it than a normal computer. USB: A memory stick was very much handy for me. I could transfer all my uncompleted tasks like long evaluations and presentations from school, to home. This made things quick for me as i was to get completed from home on time. HARDWARE

  Adobe Photoshop: Formy poster and magazine, I used Photoshop. In Photoshop there were many tools I was able to use to give it a professional look. Some of the tools I used were airbrush, blur, colour adjustments, transformation. Final Cut Pro: For our film trailer and production log we used this software. Final cut pro gave all the basics like iMovie but more and was much more flexible and gave more options of editing tools, transitions, framing, colouring etc. Adobe Premiere Pro: For blogger when uploading videos we finalised all our video productions on premiere pro to minimalise the size so it is viewable.

  Blogger: To uploadall my work I used blogger. The layout of blogger will allow me to post all my work and progression consecutively and clearly. With helpful tools like tags will allow my viewers to view my posts organised. Slideshare: To upload all my presentations to make them compatible I used slideshare. Slideshare.net is a website which allows users to upload their power point presentations for free. Slideshare gives an embedded code so I could use this in hand with blogger making it viewable to my readers. Google: I used Google the most through the duration of my coursework. Having a good search engine ensured I was able to obtain whatever information I needed. This came in need when I did most of my research tasks. My secondary information was sourced through google YouTube: When uploading my videos I used YouTube. YouTube would be best source to upload my videos from as it keep the quality of the videos intact. YouTube has a like button as well as view count which gives me feedback from the general audience.
