New media technology in the research and planning stages

Throughout the research and planning stages 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 we desired. This is how we found Fox Searchlight produced films such as 'Juno', which is the type of film and genre we want our production to be. It also allowed us to email Decca records and enquire about the copyright to Buddy Holly songs. We used the website 'Dafont.com' to research different fonts and create a selection to compare and choose from. The internet again allowed us to research the conventions of movie posters and film magazines, in order 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. This helped us prepare for the photo shoots, because we knew certain elements could be edited in post production.
