Research
I did some of my research on my laptop which is a HP Pavillion dv6, which I also used to blog the research that I had done. A majority of my research was done on my Ipod touch. It’s a second generation Ipod touch so I can use it to access the internet nearly anywhere in London. So what I did was I watched streamed videos from youtube on my Ipod, which made it easier for me to look at different teaser trailers whilst on the move and if I liked them I’d simply send myself an e-mail of the youtube link and I’d be able to watch it on my computer at home or in college.

Planning
When planning my project I used text messaging, e-mail and facebook to communicate with my colleagues. Those were the quickest and cheapest ways for me us to send ideas between ourself whilst we weren’t together at college. The main storyboarding was done on paper but an outline was put together on powerpoint so that we could have a digital format as well as a hard copy. Once again the internet was used to find pictures that could represent the images I had in my head as at this time we hadn’t yet chosen the locations and we couldn’t get all the props needed.
My tools for communication:
Blackberry Curve: Text Messaging, Phone calls and Instant messaging services
Production
Taking photos of the locations both whilst filming and whilst choosing was done on mobile phones including a blackberry curve and a Samsung . We also used a still camera, Canon Powershot SX120 IS. Filming was done on a Samsung HD digital 12 megapixel camera. Filming was also done on the Samsung HD and the photoshoot on the Canon.

Editing
When it came to the editing I used Adobe Premier and Adobe After Effects to edit the video and to touch up certain clips. I also went on youtube to take courses on how to use Adobe Premier and Adobe After Effects. To edit the sound I used, Fruity Loops Studios, Logic, and Adobe Soundbooth. The only reason we had to use so many different ones was due to the availability of the software on other systems. We used these softwares to put the sound together and to mix down the sound. Editing the photos for the poster and the magazine cover was done on Adobe Photoshop.
The final stage of my project was the evaluation. I screened the trailer in the screening room of my college using a projector which was connected to a computer and I got my friends to tell me what they thought of the trailer. I used the video camera to record their opinions on the trailer. Then I used the Canon to record the rest of my evaluation.
