There were many ways in which technology came in very useful when researching different ideas for our film. The internet as such a limitless end of research and ideas that coup us and did help us decide on what was best for our film. The internet provided endless creativity and imaginative ideas for us to use in aid of our work. Websites such as YouTube and Vimeo, helped us watch previous short films made by other students, professionals or even by people who do it just for the hobby. As well as watching long films, to gain ideas for endings and story lines.
A lot of media technologies came in very handy whilst planning our film, communication was key to us whilst planning as we needed to know when we were filming and where it was going to be. Mobile phones were vital as we were able to contact each other in times where maybe one of us was confused by the planning, or confused about what was about to happen. Also Facebook messenger was used when mobile phones were not accessible. 
Once all our ideas and planning was completed we decided to produce questionnaires on templates provided on the internet which sped up the process and allowed us to distribute it on such a bigger scale. The questionnaires were handed out to family and friends as well as posted on social media sites to help get the word out about our film idea. The results from the questionnaires were plotted on Microsoft excel graphs to help us summarise the results we obtained.
We used websites such as BBFC to allow us to research the correct certification for our short film, And iMDB for the film genre we wanted to look into. These sites were very useful when planning and researching for our film. It was very simple to use and helped us speed up the process of our film. Google is one of the biggest contributes to the aid of research for our film, it has limitless amounts of search engines where we were able to find important factors of research without any trouble at all. The locations where we would shoot our film was quite obvious to us, but Google Maps was useful to us when we needed to check the areas and plan where we would film the shots from.
Various image editing softwares were used throughout the production of our film posters, the main software we used was Adobe Photoshop, this software was provided by the college which was easily accessible for us. The photo for our film poster was taken on a Canon 450D which was provided by the college. It was a very high quality camera and allowed us to get the right shot we wanted for our final poster.
We used a lot of physical equipment for when we were filming the shots, equipment such as HD-1000 cameras were used as the main high definition camera. We also used the tripod which became very useful when trying to film steady, tracking or panning shots. The high definition shots were then transferred from the camera, to the Apple Mac Computer via a cable. This was then all edited to fit properly and flow correctly through Final Cut Editor, this was quick and easy to use and also provided on the college computers so this again sped up the process of our editing.

To conclude i believe that the technology i used worked very well in aiding us to speed up and complete our film to an excellent standard. The technology didn't necessarily cause any problems for us and was very successful in the way in was needed.
