Why?
To present my work as well as keep
track of where I have got up to via
blog entries.
All of these are videos which I then
uploaded to YouTube for easier
viewing. The production logs were
to add to my blogs on blogger. The
animatic was a rough sketch of how
my partner and I wanted our
production to be like.
I used Google to get certain
information and images about
existing Film4 Films as a part of
researching.
I used Scribd to convert all the
Microsoft word Documents I had so
it would be easily presentable onto
Blogger.
This was so I could gather lots of
information about existing Film4
Films including: Company Credits,
Box office, and details about cast
and storyline.
I used Microsoft PowerPoint to
create these as I wanted them to be
presented clearly and as I did many
slides on each, it was easier to keep
it all together.
Successful/ Unsuccessful
Using Blogger was difficult at first as I
was not used to using it but as we have
progressed, I have learnt all the features
and been able to successfully present my
work with pictures, colours and
hyperlinks to appropriate documents.
Using YouTube was also something new
for me but I found it quite simple and
easy to use. I think it was quite
successful putting videos up as a way of
making things more interesting, rather
than just a lot of text.
This was very useful as I did have to look
up a lot of things in order to do my
research.
At first it was difficult to embed
documents onto blogger but the more I
used it, the simpler it became.
This website was very useful as all
information I needed was in one place.
This also helped me get a feel of all Film4
Films so I got an idea how to make my
own.
I think these were all very successful as I
am very familiar with the program and it
came out well presented.

I think this was quite successful

Using the iMacs at first was very
difficult as I am not really fond of
them and find them complicated.
However, due to my partners
strength being editing, I was able
to learn more quickly and little
shortcuts making it easier for me
to edit with her.

watching it over and over again.
Along with the iMac, I found
iMovie also difficult at first as it
wasn’t like normal computer
software for me, but as we
progressed through the
production I was able to learn
how to use some features.
However if I wanted to improve
next time, I would try to learn
more features of iMovie as it
would come across in my work.
