Social networks

Some of the social networks that our team have used within our course work are;

• Blogger
• Youtube
• Slide share
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Intergram

We used blogger to update our blogs with new information about all of the information and steps that we was taking within our coursework to reach the final product. We also looked at other blogs from people with similar specifications and also some blogs with how to get target audience as well as how to use imovie and final cut express to their full advantage. By using Blogger we had this as an advantage with our digital technology, this is because we used this application within our foundation portfolio, we used it to record all of our blogs and vlogs as well as posting our final pieces on to the internet via this web application.

   

We used youtube to research many different things such as trailers. The reason why we decided to use youtube to research trailers is because on youtube there is a wide range of possible trailers which are available to anyone who can access the internet.  We also used YouTube because we managed to upload out trailer on to the internet to get some national and international views and responses on the final product. We mainly used this web application because on youtube there are a variety of different videos that we watched when we was stuck or confused about how to do a certain thing. For example we used YouTube to research how to use liquid latex to do a scar on the face, and so by following the video which we found on YouTube we were able to recreate a scar which is part of the make up with the trailer for the main character. The benefits of using youtube is that there is so many trailers on this site that no matter what genre you are after there is bound to be a trailer with that genre. We also used youtube to research the different ways in which we can edit the trailer as well as the different ways in which we could edit the poster and magazine pictures. We also used youtube to display our final trailer to get feedback form the general public. 

We also used slide share to help us out with things such as target audience questionnaires and the genres which we was considering choosing for our trailer. I personally used Slideshare for when i was stuck on a blog post to see if someone else had written a powerpoint about the post that i was doing and seeing if i could get any help from reading it.

 We used Facebook for many different reasons throughout our coursework, the main one was for target and audience feedback. This is because we uploaded many different posts on to Facebook, some of them were titles and fonts so that we could see what our target audience thought about our possible titles and the possible fonts in which we thought of. We also used it to get feedback on our poster ideas and magazine ideas as well as our final products of our poster and magazine. We also posted the final products as a package bundle onto Facebook to see what people of all ages thought about our final product. 

We also used Twitter to upload our final versions of our products such as our poster, magazine cover and our trailer. From this we was able to gather our target audience feedback by using a variety of different social networking sites to be able to catch the attention of our desired target audience.

We also used Instagram to upload our poster and magazine ideas as well as the full package at the end to see what followers thought about our trailer, poster and magazine cover. I have included my target audience feedback from Instagram within my blogs for my reasons why I have changed something or for the reason why we haven't changed anything.
