In this project I have used alot of different technology, technology that I have used are Flickr to analyse images such as magazines, film posters and even my own work. I have used Final Cut Pro to edit and create my horror trailer which I found was good and created the desired effects that I wanted I found it easy to use when everything was going good but our group did have a lot of problems with seeing our trailer in real time as it was the first time of using HD cam corders the down side of this is that every time we moved anything on our timeline we had to stop to render for over 10 minutes which was causing a time struggle for our group and we was finding it stressful to use as we was wasting so much time! But after struggling for some time our problems were finally resolved and was able to add the finishing touches no problem to our horror trailer and was then easy to use this was also the first time I had used Final Cut Pro and I would defiantly use this technology again. I also used a mac pc to create my horror trailer as it has Final cut pro on it i think that using a mac was great as the screens are big which is great if you are working in a group and the screens are very clear and easy to read.
I have used YouTube to help do research before creating my horror trailer by watching several horror trailers and getting ideas on what is involved in a horror trailer. I have also used Photoshop to create my magazine cover and poster I have learnt alot more about using photoshop and can now create something with much more ease. I have used a video camera to record all of my horror trailer in this project which was easy use very light and compact so it was easy to get around and create the shoots that we wanted to achieve. I have used a camera to takes pictures for my magazine cover and poster and I have also used garage band to experiment making music. I have used survey money to create an online survey for people to do to carry out audience research about horror films and I also posted this survey on facebook for people to carry out the online survey I think that this is great way to get different people involved and to get more feedback to help make a good final product. I use blogger to post all of my media work onto this is were everyone can see my work and I can easily access my work. I think blogger is a great way to show your work on because it is easy to work with and people can comment on certain post and leave feedback this is a great way to improve on work. Also by using blogger there is no lost work because everything is all in one place and is very organised. I would most definetly use the technology I used in this project again as they have been very useful and I have found had not to much trouble using them I think that they are a great way to create work and also have fun creating work at the same time.

You have been very positive about things here but your group in fact had lots and lots of problems with Final Cut Pro due to the fact that it was the first year we were using HD camcorders. I think you should be honest and explain about those problems which were particularly about rendering and the ability to see your work in real-time on the timeline. I also think that you should explain in more detail some of the elements of Final Cut Pro that you used because this is professional software and was central to your production. I would like to see an annotated timeline and project window from Final Cut Pro on here, showing your project and explaining some of the tools that you found helpful.
