Whilst the last post was mostly about the 'new technologies' I used in my construction work, this post will deal more with those used in the planning and research and the evaluation.
Whilst obviously the blog was a huge factor in everything I did, I also had to use the Internet in other ways. For example, YouTube I used for finding the original teaser trailers I looked at in the beginning. To host the videos on this blog I had to take the embed code and paste it here. Similarly, I uploaded my own videos to YouTube to put on here (creating an account under the name MindyLynch), such as my initial ideas like 'Breakfast' and my original edit of Dan walking through the woods. So YouTube cropped up in both my research and construction, and also in my planning I guess - in the form of me being able to put my first ideas out there for feedback.
Research-wise, I also used Wikipedia and Internet Movie Database (IMBD) to read up on films, their directors and producers and studios they were distributed by. I was able to also read about the methodology of the editing, for example the 'hip-hop' editing style of the Requiem for a Dream trailer that I later sort of adopted for my own and tried to mimic. Additionally, I was able to research genre.
On top of that, I used the website freeplaymusic.com to download an uncopyrighted mp3 to use on my trailer.
Planning wise, I used simple old pen and paper to sketch out my original ideas, and then scanned them into my laptop to put on here. If I had the means, and the know-how, I would have liked to have spent more time on them, like reconstructing them in PhotoShop so they were more clear, or drawing them out better using a graphic tablet or something...
