Research - Codes and Conventions (Main Task)

I have done some research on similiar documentaries that have recently been on television. Channel 4 are currently showing 'Educating Yorkshire'. This is a documentary about a school that shows scenes of lessons and general school life, and talks privately with teachers and pupils. Me and Mitch will be adapting a similiar style to this for our documentary, so i believe that this is a good example to use as an inspiration for us.

Planning - (Tutorials)

Although i have experience in using Photoshop from my portfolio last year, i thought that it would be appropriate to watch a tutorial to refresh my knowledge and teach me anything that i have not done before that would be useful for this years portfolio. This was a good, long tutorial that was the most popular one among other tutorials that were on YouTube.

Slideshare was also a new program to me, therefore i used YouTube to find a tutorial video that would teach me the basic skills to be able to present my research and planning through Slideshare. This is the video that i used.

I have decided to use prezi to present some of my research and planning but i have never used prezi before. For this reason i have used used the learn & support section of the website to find this tutorial in order to find out how to use prezi effectively. This is the tutorial that i used.
