The more experience you have with postmodernism the more you have understanding of what it is leading to you being able to have more of a creative producer.

When starting to use the digital technology I would use the internet and refere to exiting media texts, such as, with the Thriller created in the first year we created a Thriller text which meant researching what was included in a Thriller, from this I watch a number of different Thrillers with different genres, this shows that I used a modern way of gathering research of a Thriller due to watching a film on a television and also where films were created in a morden world. Where we was only willing to get inspiration from existing thriller films, intertextuality was widely used. Where as in the second year we was using the internet a lot more to research different artist within the sam genre, we used YouTube to do the majority of research of the music video, we also used email to comunicate to our artists and audience. The use of technology was a lot less compared to the huge use of it in A2, this is because in AS we wasn't challenging and we just conformed with what was required from the brief, where as we was able to have more freedom when went on to A2 as we was able to present our work in different ways and was able to do trial runs to see what conformed with our artists genre and what didn't. We was more aware of deadlines when we came to A2 as we was creating a product to sell which made us more focused on reaching the deadlines. We also had a larger audience relationship when getting to A2 as we had an audience and artist where we would gather feedback from where as in AS we gathered feedback from friends which can sometimes give very biast feedback.

Before we when to produce the time we had between production and research & planning was shorted as we didn't dig in depth with what we had available to us on the internet. As we limited ourselfs with what we wanted to find out. Where as in A2 we was more indepth with with the work inbetween with tasks that will relate to our production.
