For my A2 media coursework i have decided to work again with my previous partner Imogen Brown as i feel we make a good team and are always able to accomplish what we hope to.
The genre we have chosen to do is a new horror thriller film. We have again chosen to do a horror genre as we really enjoyed our previous AS coursework and we are able to stick easily to horror conventions.
We decided to do a magazine and a film advertisement to go with our teaser trailer. This is from inspiration from Andy Mcquade who is PR and marketing at GORZONE publishing - the UK's number one horror magazine seller. He came into our media lesson and spoke about his position and magazine writing. We did some research on the magazine and saw many advertisement's for up-coming horror films, we can take ideas from this and with more research we feel we will have a positive outcome. Our research will not just include looking at magazine front covers but also looking at posters for films to try and find conventions that we can use.
Our planning and research will continue on the horror genre, looking at advertisements in magazine (mainly horror magazines if possible). The people we hope to be in our texts are close friends and possibly family, this means that there will be less chance of them letting us down. We will soon start our schedule and will try to dodge things such as weather issues and move onto something else when we are stuck.
We need to think of locations, our last years coursework worked well because we were in school and this reduced problems as we were able to film whenever we wanted to, or if we needed to re-shoot something this was simple enough to do. Filming in and around school would therefore seem like a sensible idea however if our story line doesn't fit with the school environment we may have to film elsewhere.
