Websites Used During My Research and Planning

I visited a lot of different websites which were invaluable during my research and planning. I have included the main ones I used here.

Art of the Title

This website helped me with understanding the order of credits, appropriate fonts for titles for romantic comedy films, and also inspired me to make a the link to the film The Graduate.

DaFont

This website was one of the ones I used to help me find a variety of potential fonts for my titles, including those that would be suitable for my genre/film.

Font Meme

Font Meme was another font website I used, which broke fonts down into movie genres.

Linotype

Linotype was the last font website I used, however, I did not find anything extremely useful from this website, as many of the movies it referenced were older, classic films, rather than more modern movies from the genre.

Meta Bar Chart

This was the website I used to create the bar charts for my focus groups. This website was extremely useful as there were lots of design options.

YouTube

YouTube was used to get thetrailers and TV spots which I analysed. I embedded them onto Blogger. I also uploaded my trailers and director's commentary onto YouTube.

Soundcloud

I used Soundcloud to upload my music and sound effects.

IMDB

IMDB was very useful for finding information about directors, genres and actors.

IMP Awards

IMP Awards is a film poster site with a variety of high quality posters for each of the films that they have (which are most of the films ever created). I often used IMP Awards when putting posters on my Blogger posts that were related to the films I was analysing. I used the site a great deal for my A2 Film Marketing Project, to help me understand the conventions found in posters, and to create my own poster.

Themes Website

This blog had an amazing graph for themes of romantic comedies which I found very helpful when researching my genre.

BBC Narrative

BBC Bitesize had very useful information on narrative techniques for rom-coms, and information which I used on my narrative structure Blogger post.

Google Forms

Google Forms helped me to create the questionnaires regarding 'audience expectations' and 'audience feedback'.

Twitter

Twitter was used to help me research different social media pages, in order to potentially create an authentic twitter page for my film.

Instagram

Instagram (just like Twitter) contributed to my social media research.

Facebook

Facebook was also used to help and inform me of what contributes to an authentic looking film social media page.
