Edublogs

‘Edublogs’ is a blog that was created for educational purposes. It allows students and teachers to support their learning by uploading work to their personal blogs.This has personally been a very helpful resource for me to be able to present my work and research. It has allowed me to keep track of everything that I needed to keep notes of or remember for future reference whilst creating my products.

YouTube

YouTube is the most popular online video sharing website. It allows registered users to upload, comment, share, and view videos.This website has helped me massively when deciding what genre of film to choose from. It allowed me to watch various trailers, which influenced me and gave me ideas. I have also included YouTube links on some of my blog posts, for example when I was analysing the ‘My Sisters Keeper’ trailer, I embedded the code so that it was visible and easy to access on my blog.I also have my own channel on YouTube, which allowed me to upload my trailer.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome was a very helpful resource when it came to researching different ancillary texts. I managed to find the magazine covers and posters that influenced me, on Google Chrome. It also helped me as I often ‘Goggled’ different tutorials, whenever I was stuck with using Adobe Premiere Pro.
