Research

Throughout the course of this term I have carried out some research to try and gather ideas as to what to do for my A2. As a basic research I decided to go into other A2 students blogs in my school as well as up and down the country to try and investigate into what A2 media studies requires. I watched their film trailers and looked at all the different varities of film genres and camera angles they used to gain a successful Media Product. Once I had a idea of what it required I got given a brief and had a look at the different ranges of questions that I could study at A2 and came to a decision on which brief really stood out to me, and appealed the most. Once I had chosen my brief, I then went on to create a mind map based around the question I chose, discussing a wide range of genres, products and other items that were needed for my film, in order for me to narrow them down and decide on one idea

Task Brief

Working with my classmates, we have decided upon this brief.

'A promotion package for a new film to include a trailer together with two of the three options:

• A website home page for the film
• A film magazine front cover
• A poster for the film '

From this selection we came to the conclusion that we felt would best suit us and that we are the most skilled in. We decided upon a film magazine front cover and a poster for the film as these two were the most appealing to us. We then went on to create a skills audit for each of us so that we could use our skills and knowledge in this field to our best and in the end create a good trailer.
