The Internet paid a massive part in the planning and researchstages of my work. It allowed me to search the web from very initial ideas to the research of other trailers to see what else was out there. It allowed me to look at images for inspiration, listen and watch other people talk about their work, and also look at proper film trailers and also other work that people had created from across the web. It also helped with research into posters and magazines as I was able to view images and examples of both online. The Internet is a really useful tool for research.
Here is a list of websites that I used for research;

I used Youtube as the main tool to look at other videos, clips and read peoples opinions. 
And I also used apple trailers to look at the most recent trailers and also to define the difference between a teaser trailer and a theatrical trailer.
Blogger was a excellent tool to keep all of my work recorded and keep it managable. Blogger allows for me to make posts, put up my images and videos and let people comment on them. I feel blogger was a excellent way to post and show my work. 
This is the camcorder I used to capture all my footage. I had no problems atal with this camcorder, and it was excellent in letting me take quick shots, zooming and close ups came out brilliant. It offered brilliant quality whilst filming and the end footage came out to a good standard. Using this camera really allowed for me to get the look and feel I wanted for my teaser trailer. It also recorded the clips separately so when i put all the clips into Final Cut, it allowed to me move the clips around and slot them in where I wanted to.
The Apple Mac is where all of my production work took place. The Apple Mac was excellent in assisting my work and offered me great packages such as Final cut, Photoshop, InDesign and Soundtrack Pro to create my work. I had no problems with this software and it allowed me to save my work at all times. 
Soundtrack Pro was a great piece of software that allowed me to create the soundtrack for my teaser trailer. At first I did find it difficult to use, however I feel that was because I had never created a piece of music like this before. However, I spent some time playing around on it, listening to different tracks and then I had a good understanding of how to use it. It allows you to create loops for your music, and then you can pick different instruments, genres and sounds to add in to make your soundtrack. It is time consuming, however it was alot easier for me than going out and recording my own piece of soundtrack. 
Photoshop allowed for the manipulation of my images. Here I could import my images and then Crop, Contrast, Brighten etc my images to how I wanted them. I then imported then into InDesign for the Production of my Film poster and Magazine front cover. 
InDesign was the desktop publishing software that I used for the creation of my magazine front cover and film poster. Using InDesign enabled me to edit both my poster and magazine front cover very rapidly and to the best quality. I was able to change the images to how I wanted, add text and change the sizes of things to make two finished very professional looking products.
Final Cut Express was the editing equipment i used to create my teaser trailer. I started by putting in my memory card and importing all the clips into a file called CONSCIENCE FILM TRAILER. I then could start editing my trailer. For me, I had never used this equipment before, so it was a case of me moving things around and finding out for myself how to use the software. However i did soon get the hang of it and things came into place. I created a timeline of all my clips, then added the music underneath after creating that to make sure it all worked together well. It also allowed me to use a range of editing techniques and to add transitions and intertitles in as well.
I also used a flip camera to record audience feedback, and throughout production and filming of my teaser trailer I kept my own personal camera to take pictures.
Here are 2 screen shots of me uploading my teaser trailer to Youtube. I created myself a account so then I could upload my videos.
