Coursework Briefs and Ideas

My first thought when studying the coursework briefs was that the use of video may be an advantage to me. This is because I did the opening two minutes of a new film in year 12. I felt like this went well and may have increased my knowledge of editing and putting together another piece of moving image.One brief that caught my eye was 'A promotion package for a new film, includes a teaser trailer'. At the beginning of the Year 12 coursework I was hoping to do a film trailer, more action could be put into it and a lot of ideas came to me.Making a short film was another brief i found appealing. In a media lesson we looked at some well known short films such as 'Pudding Bowl' by Vanessa Caswill and films that targeted more serious topics. However, the film has to be 5 minutes, it has to be interesting and well constructed that also captures the audience's attention.Some briefs were crossed off straight away, such as 'The first level of a new computer game', this for me was out of the question. Another brief I ruled off was 'The first two pages of a new local newspaper' This may of been good experience to produce a 'printed image' piece of coursework however, i would prefer to stick with video as I feel like its my strongest aspect.
