WHATS APP I used What'sApp to keep in touch when planning with my group
PINTEREST Pinterest enabled us to collect together a series of images for the mise-en-scene, props and lighting for our 1950s office set. We sourced images of 1950s detectives, what they wore and their postures and gestures. This was essential planning to guide our directing of the scenes. We needed to create an authentic period feel. We also wanted to convey the weariness, reluctance and underlying hard-boiled quality of our central detective figure. We constructed our characters using pictures of Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade with their feet on the desk, their hands wrapped round a whiskey tumbler with the smoke from a cigarette curling on the desk. Pinterest is a collaborative tool that let us build up an image bank.
PADLET this app allows you to put together a 'wall' of stuff. It looks a bit like Pinterest but is probably best used as a way of everyone in class putting up their ideas on a whiteboard, so it becomes like a 'live team wall' for sharing ideas and work done.
GOOGLE DOCS This is a sophisticated and flexible tool that enabled us to work collaboratively on the same documents. We used it extensively when creating the shot list, the call sheets and the scripts. It is flexible because we could update ideas, add photos of locations, plan the blocking of movements with photos to prompt our memories and keep our ideas looking professional and easy to access. Google docs let us create and share our work online and access our documents from anywhere.
AIRDROP let me quickly and easily transfer files between iPhones and iPads (and Macs). It uses Bluetooth Low Energy to broadcast, discover, and negotiate connections, and point-to-point Wi-Fi to transfer information. Airdrop is fast, power-efficient, and secure.I used it to....

SOUNDCLOUD
I used SoundCloud to host audio files on my blog
FACETIME or SKYPE
Mac Users may plan together using FaceTime as a video conferencing tool. FaceTime was important to us because it is live chat with a visual dimension, so it is virtually like a real conversation, allowing us to show each other our ideas for props and blog posts as we chatted. It is spontaneous, immediate and free to use.

PICTOCHART
An infographic tool with a wide variety of templates including useful charts (pie charts, bar charts taken in through Excel)
ONLINE MAGAZINES I consulted MediaMagazine to learn about the film industry, such as Why Watching Films Is Good for You https://www.englishandmedia.co.uk/media-magazine/articles/19700 (Dec. 2015). Screen shot of one page you studied.
BLOGGER Blogger hosted all my other new technologies at the research and planning stage. As a multi-media social networking tool it allowed me to collate, archive, display and create research and planning with images, videos, sound files and posts that I could share with my group. It hosted all my other presentational tools, from Emaze to Slideshare. Later, I used it for feedback (adding my work in progress) and evaluation of my finished work (on YouTube). It is easy to use and very versatile. My blog is the hub of all my production work.

SNAPCHAT I used Snapchat to present in a slick and fun way the evidence of how I constructed XXX (filmed the date scene / created my production company ident / sourced props for the hospital scene). I added text to my Snapchat photos straight from my mobile phone.
