In the research and planning stages for my project I mostly relied on the Internet to come up with research that was relevant for what I was trying to find out. I used large search engines such as Google and YouTube to get the most relevant searches, these sites were a great help throughout my project as I could watch other short opening clips and get ideas from many films posted by other students that were suitable for my genre of film. I have used the search engine Google a large amount of times over the year to search for images and videos that would help me and my group. If I did not have these resources then I would have had to of taken the images myself using a flip camera as this is probably the easiest way to capture a image and simply upload by using the USB port. I have used many other programmes such as Windows Word, PowerPoint and Processor to help upload my work onto Blogger with no mistakes made.
In each stages of my production I have used the site Blogger to record my testing’s and recordings of what I have achieved. This is also the website that my work will get marked on, for example my teacher can record how well I am doing by the use of Blogger. This site is used for uploading all work and images that need to be shown to the examiner.
In the construction stages I have used a vast amount of technical equipment that I would have needed to create my short film, if I didn't have this equipment it would have been a struggle to finish the film as all the equipment used was key towards our production. I have used a video camera to capture all scenes and shots of my group’s short film, without a camera it would have been very difficult to capture but I could have used a lower standard flip camera to record with. 
In the construction stages I had to use Photoshop CS3 to create the poster for our film, I have had past experience with Photoshop but there were many tools that were new to me so I found this challenge quite hard. I tried to get use to the new tools by using the programme a few times before moving on to creating the poster, this helped a lot as it gave me more idea's of what each tool did. Creating the poster was a challenge but I managed to compleete in within a week. If I did not have the programme Photoshop then I would have created a very simple poster using a Windows programme, Windows does not create something as complex as photoshop so thye outcome of the poster would have been at a lower stadard.
When creating our film we had to edit the sound levels that we recorded using the microphone that attaches to the camera, to edit the sound we used a software named 'Soundcloud'. The only members in my group that had used this software before was Katie-Mai and Alex Mullins as they have had past experience in the filming industry. This was new to me so Alex and Katie had to explain the stages of using Sound Cloud and in the end it was a very simple technology to use. If we did not have this technology then we would have had to edit the sounds through Premier Pro which was the editing software that we used, this would have produced less high quality sounds and the sound levels throughout the film would have been different so would have made the end outcome of the film a lower standard.
Editing our footage was crucial towards the final production of our film, the editing software that we used was Adobe premier Pro and this software offerd us effects and options that would help develop our film with opening titles and credits shown to the viewer. If this software wasnt available to us then we would have had to use an old software that wouldnt offer us the same ammount of options to help progress our film.
Here is a small presentation using Prezi and it shows the new technologys I have used in a much more simple way.
