A2 Media Studies Coursework Brief

Today we have been issued with the requirements for our A2 Media studies coursework. The requirements dictate that candidates must;
Produce a media portfolio comprising of a main and ancillary text.
A presentation of their research, planning and evaluation in a digital format/s.

To undertake the task effectively and exploit the opportunistic creative gains that are contained and have the opportunity to be exploited within the brief, the main 'text' of the production will be to undertake the production and creation of a new project, namely that of a film trailer for a new film release which would ideally be exhibited at the build up to a film screening of a film of similar themes and genre to attract a similar proportionate audience and target demographic.

The construction of the marketing package will take the form of a film trailer, being this our main 'text' of production. Whilst the focus of our production in it's majority will lie on the production of the main text of the film trailer, we will also be required to produce as candidates, a supporting ancillary text, which is secondary to that of the film trailer, and provides a supporting material to the film trailer and completes and complements the promotional film materials package as a whole.

To support my project, consequently I will be undertaking a large quantity of planning and research as support for my creative influences, ideas and decisions throughout the duration of the project being undertaken. I will be thoroughly producing analytical supporting analysis and planning and research that documents my creative influences and decisions and upload these onto this blog in the hope that the process from idea to screen is effectively documented and for the impact of my decisions and ideas and their intentions  are clear for all to see.
