Research and planning Within the research and planning stages I used YouTube to search for

videos to embed into my blog posts to show existing media products. Due to the wide range of videos YouTube allowed me to gain vital and plentiful information

Also using search engines like Google and internet explorer enabled me to get lots of relevant information about existing media products. As the

internet is popular and vast it is easy to get a great deal of information on most subjects and the best way to do things such as questionnaires.

To arrange interviews I used a College service called Tyber that allowed me to message members of staff to organise when they would be able to be interviewed making the arranging process much easier and hassle free.

To produce the information in the research and planning stage I used the two main programmes on a computer, PowerPoint and word. These two programmes are easy to layout information professionally and made easy to follow and read. I used work and PowerPoint for things like the questionnaire and documentary codes and conventions.

There are online services that change PowerPoint presentation and word documents into more interesting pieces of information. The services I used are called Prezi,

Scribd and slideshare. The conversion from the original document to the more interactive ones make the information a lot better and easier to understand overall

making the document a skilled piece of work. I generally used these services when word or PowerPoint were used so for things like magazine analysis and narrative

structure. Finally in the research and planning stages I used blogger and a scanner to put

information onto my blog. I used the blog to put things straight onto the blog for things that required minimal information such as the proposal and the brief. The scanner/mobile phone was used to upload images of paper such as the logging sheets so that it is easy to understand and see as they can be quite hard to see without high quality hardware used.
