RESEARCH

RESEARCH
 Look here to see an online display method for collating your research into a single magazine page
PINTEREST Pinterest is a versatile, easy-to-navigate online pin board tool that displays visuals and text linked to websites. I created a 'pin' on....
I used Pinterest so I can look at the style of our characters and what they would wear and how they would act, what age group they are in. By using Pinterest i can look up these photos and create a pin about the character development and then write underneath about the images. 

PICTOCHART
An infographic tool with a wide variety of templates including useful charts (pie charts, bar charts taken in through Excel)  
BLOGGER Blogger hosted all my other new technologies at the research and planning stage. As a multi-media social networking tool it allowed me to collate, archive, display and create research and planning with images, videos, sound files and posts that I could share with my group. It hosted all my other presentational tools, from Emaze to Slideshare. Later, I used it for feedback (adding my work in progress) and evaluation of my finished work (on YouTube).  It is easy to use and very versatile. My blog is the hub of all my production work. I used blogger because I had to see what to do next for my planning for my film for research. 
Look at the post that I have prepared for you about the usefulness of Twitter. Our class blog describes this here.Last year, you all signed up. You can now give an account of how you are using it for thus production. Use the framework that I have prepared if you wish; include screenshots, specific examples etc and be as detailed as necessary. I set up a twitter account so I can see all the latest news in media. Here I also looked at the latest films that were out and I followed the producers and distribution companies.  
YOUTUBE
You have used YouTube for research and for inviting feedback on your own video work. Claremont has its own TouTube channel. I looked at their Youtube videos so I can also get ideas for our film and the camera angles I may want to use. I also looked at Hurtwood House youtube channel as well.

PLANNING 
WHATS APP I used What'sApp to keep in touch when planning with my group. We used WhatsApp as part of our character development to interview our characters and the film.
PINTEREST Pinterest enabled us to collect together a series of images for the mise-en-scene, props and lighting for our 1950s office set. We sourced images of 1950s detectives, what they wore and their postures and gestures. This was essential planning to guide our directing of the scenes. We needed to create an authentic period feel. We also wanted to convey the weariness, reluctance and underlying hard-boiled quality of our central detective figure. We constructed our characters using pictures of Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade with their feet on the desk, their hands wrapped round a whiskey tumbler with the smoke from a cigarette curling on the desk. Pinterest is a collaborative tool that let us build up an image bank.  Here is the Pinterest that I made for the representation of social groups in our film. They are images that I found with descriptions underneath.

TRELLO
I used Trello to plan what I was going to be doing for our film and it makes a list that we can tick off. Here is a screenshot of my post of my Trello list.

SNAPCHAT
We used this social media to contact each other whenever we had an idea about our film.  This way we can be ready and prepared for it before we got to the lesson.
MOBILE PHONE
Have you found this useful for keeping in touch with your group, for planning & location shots, for playing your track while out and about?

EVALUATION
SNAPCHAT I used Snapchat to present in a slick and fun way the evidence of how I constructed XXX (filmed the date scene / created my production company ident / sourced props for the hospital scene). I added text to my Snapchat photos straight from my mobile phone.
NEW HIVE enabled me to present all my evidence about how I used technology in a visually exciting and logical way with images, text, embedded video and audio.
