The Brief

Main Task – A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both

Ancillary task 1 – A poster for the film

Ancillary task 2 – A film magazine review page featuring the film

In the end we decided to choose this task for the brief for our A2 coursework and to work on this throughout the year. After much discussion on this topic, we felt that as we produced something similar to this for AS already, it would be better to advance on the skills that we learned last year and produce a more improved production work where we will be able to look back see where we did well and where we needed to work on which will help us in creating our work.

Choosing this brief has both its positive and negative sides to it as we are just doing the same type of work that we did for the first year which some could say that we may get bored of it and not complete the work as well. However in the end, we all felt that we enjoyed doing the filming and editing part of the work and that we really enjoyed put the opening scene together and would enjoy producing a whole film. It is also quite beneficial to us to carry on in that same area as we already have experience in it and know what to expect, where things could go wrong for us and etc as we have already gone through this. I also think that once the work has been completed, I will be able to look back at our work from AS and see whether or not I have improved which will show to me if have been able to progress in the two years of dong media studies.
