New Media Technology in Research and Planning Stages

when we were in the research and planning stages of our coursework new media and digital technology have played a huge part in helping us make important decisions towards our teaser trailer, film magazine and movie poster.We used the internet and the blogs in order to research which film companies produce films similiar to the genre chose. This is how we found Fox Searchlight produced films such as 'Juno', this film is the genre we want our production to be. It also enabled us to email Decca records and enquire about the copyright to using Buddy Holly songs. We used the website 'Dafont.com' to research different fonts and create a selection to compare and choose from. The internet allowed us to research the conventions of movie posters and film magazines,by doing this we were able to ensure our work looked professional.As myself and two other members of the group are photography students, we were aware of how much editing we could do to our movie poster and our film magazine to make it look as proffesional as possible. This helped us prepare for the photo shoots, because we knew certain elements could be edited in post production.
