We have all just finished our exams and back in college for the start of our A2 courses. So today is the first A2 media lesson and I am excited about the coursework assignment as it includes filming. We can chose from making a short film, a trailer for a new film or a music video for a band. There is also the option to produce the first two pages of a local newspaper. I chose to be in a group with Emily Atkinson and we both decided quickly that we wanted to make a short film because it allows the most room for us to choose something creative and original. It would allow us complete freedom to create whatever we want and use exciting techniques when filming.
Alongside our film we also have to produce two ancillary texts out of the three options, which for a short film are:
- a poster for the film
- a radio trailer for the film
- a film magazine review page featuring the film
We have already decided that we will make a poster for the film and a film magazine review page featuring the film. This is because we both feel confident on photoshop and think that we could produce a high standard poster and magazine page.
We spent the rest of this lesson brainstorming possible ideas and watching short films on the BBC short film network for inspiration.
