Hotmail and I messageHotmail and I message

-Hotmail is one of the most popular free emailing services which is provided by Microsoft which is accessible from a computer anywhere in the world. Hotmail also provides users with a schedule calendar and the capability to save contact lists in an address book.

-IMessage is a free service from Apple that enables users of apple powered devices to send text messages over Wi-Fi from mobile devices like the Iphone and Ipod Touch.

-Users can easily distinguish messages sent via iMessage, as message replies appear in a blue-shaded bubble as opposed to the Messages app’s standard green coloured bubble.

- These two forms of technology had an impact on what is the narrative of the film. This impact came from it providing us with the ability to contact the parents of Kobi and Jack which is a necessity in order to gain permission to film them as they are only 11 years old.

-When contacting Antony for the permission of Kobi hotmail was used, which turned out to be extremely efficient speeding up the whole filming process.

- After contacting Antony he gave us the number of Jack’s mother (Samantha) after deciding that his personality was the ideal fit for our film along side Kobi. When contacting Samantha we alternatively used I message as we became informed on its efficiency and due to the fact it is a more direct way of addressing people.
