2. Question 4: How did you use new media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

3. In Research Were all used a great amount to help with our research in finding existing products and information about them to inform our pieces.

4. Google and Wikipedia These helped us find existing products from which we could find codes and conventions to then base our product on. As well as this, it also provided us with images and background information on film trailers.

5. Youtube Youtube provided us with examples of existing trailers made professionally as well as amateur trailers made by other students. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikCk0u2QpuQ
