Evaluation Q4: How did you use media technologies in the construction, research, planning and evaluation stages?

For this evaluation, I decided to use my graphic design and artistic skills to explore my response and present it. I decided on creating various mind maps/explanation diagrams to show my response.

Final Film Poster

This is our final promotional film poster. I also printed this poster of in real life to envision what it would look like on a wall in reality. I didn't have access to any A2 paper, which is what film posters would usually be printed on, so we had to make do with A3. But, we think it still looked really legitimate and authentic, as well as felt proud of our product...
