When making the film I used both digital and film cameras. This gave me a bit of a difference with the quality but I was left with no choice because the batteries died in the first camera.
With these cameras i was able to use the zoom which gave a sharper image and helped to frame some shots.
During the editing I have used two Apple computers. An iMac and a MacBook Pro. On these I have used iMovie to edit the film. For further information see my post on editing.

To comply with exam board specifications I have used blogger to submit my work electronically. In the past I have had some difficulty with the site but when completing this coursework it has been fairly good to me. there has been no error messages bar one and I managed to work around that. The image uploader said there was an error with the images I was trying to upload for the editing post. The only reason it didn't like them was because they were screen shots I had taken on the MacBook Pro. So I went around it and opened them up in Windows Picture Gallery, which did recognise them, and took screen shots from there. I then dumped them into Microsoft Office Picture Manager and cropped them.
The cameras that I used to film the video were:
A Canon MD205 video camera.
A Nikon Coolpix P60 digital camera.
(it's really a photo camera, it just has a film mode built in)
...Planning?
In the planning stage I used a new website to me called Scribd.com. This site allows people to upload Microsoft Office word documents which can then be linked to things such as blogs. I uploaded my Shooting Schedule and Director's Pitch.
.
...Research?
During the research and TA research I uploaded the animatic to YouTube and sent out messages via facebook asking people to send me their thoughts. This allowed me to get a wide range of feedback and a good idea of what peoples general thoughts were.
.
...Evaluation?
During the evaluation I used no more new technologies than the ones I had already used in the rest of the project.
I used the Schools new VLE to have access to the evaluation questions and that's it really.
