Blogger

www.blogger.com I used this website to create my media blog.It allows you to be creative as you choose your own templates and backgrounds.

I also used their iPad app as it was easy to access and I could upload text and images quickly and efficiently.

www.gmail.com www.google.co.uk

I used Google for research, I researched the genre (body horror) of my opening sequence. I also researched the conventions so I could apply it to my work.

I created a Gmail account so that I could create my blog and to send and receive emails from those in my group. I also used it to make a YouTube account.

Facebook

I used Facebook to get feedback from our target audience on our drafts and questionnaires.

YouTubewww.youtube.com

I used YouTube to upload videos so I could embed them onto my blog.I also used it to get a better understanding of the meaning of words and how they are applied in media. For eg Foley.

Survey Monkey

I used survey monkey to make a questionnaire for my target audience. This website was easy to use as I could easily share it on other social sites e.g Facebook. You can also ask questions in any format you want (open and

closed questions)

BBFC

I used this website to find out the different ratings and what they all consist. This helped my group to pick a rating for our opening sequence, so I knew what was age appropriate and what wasn’t.

PowerPoint & Prezi

I used PowerPoint for most of the tasks to present my information. I also used Prezi go present information, however there is a limitation on text and it makes images blurry and was way more complicated to use. So I mostly used PowerPoint.

www.prezi.com

Wikipedia

I used Wikipedia to research films and specific things about them. As well as the meaning of media terms- such as foley.
