1. Technologies used in creation

2. The Blog Splitting my blog into recognisable categories was the best way of separating out my work as I can find what part of my work I, or anyone else, wanted easily. This is one of the advantages I found with the blog, as it made my work more identifiable My analysis of trailers posters and magazines where all set out in a similar fashion. I embedded the video (or copy and pasted the picture) into a post and the analysed it. However, with my posters I organised them into different parts of the horror genre. This was to make it easy for people to see them, and rate them on my poll(s).

3. The Blog Continued These where all five successive posts. I did it like this as I wanted them to be easily comparable. Not just for me, but also for others voting on polls. Being able to see them together allows me to determine which has the best (or the one preferred by me and people voting) style and colour scheme. The people voting where all people of my age, which is who my ‘target audience’ is so any decisions made about my poster is based on not only response, but responses from my target audience. However, this is where one of the problems with the blog arose. I couldn’t put them all on the same page, and I couldn’t move my posts around on the page. This meant the posters and the poll where separated and far apart, making it hard for people to make a clear judgment n what they preferred,

4. Embedding, uploading and Youtube Youtube was important part for my video, as it acted as a way to put it on the internet. By doing this, it allowed me to be able to put my video from Youtube, and embed it onto my blog. 1.Putting video on Youtube 2.uploaded my video to YT 3.Putting video into a post 4. Video in a post However, I found Youtube quite annoying, as the video quality was terrible, and I found it hard to improve it.

5. Polls Being able to add polls into my post was very useful. This is because it allowed me to find out what my age group prefers in terms of posters, magazines, genres etc. it was a quicker way than asking people what my ideas where like, and people are less likely to lie. The problem I found with the polls is that i didn’t get a great response rate, so my information may be seen as not very reliable

6. Using the internet: Trailers, analysis and Youtube To research ideas for my trailer I mainly used Youtube, purely because of it’s simplicity and ease of use. Also, I was able to put the trailers on my blog along with the analysis. In my analysis I looked at what happened in the trailer, to gain better understanding into how they where put together. After, I’d look at conventions of horror trailers, what sort of colours are used, what sort of fonts etc. knowing what others had done before to make good trailers (or bad ones) steered me in the direction of what I wanted to do.
