Outline of the Brief

For the A2 Media coursework, candidates will produce:
- A media portfolio, comprising main task and ancillary texts.
- A presentation of their research, planning and evaluation in electronic format.

I have chosen brief no. 2 which is the film marketing brief. This involves creating a trailer for a film, as well as 2 out of 3 of the following: a poster for the film, a cover for a magazine or a webpage for the film. I have chosen to create the poster and the film magazine cover.

The reason why I have selected this brief is because of my great interest in film, I prefer the film medium over music, newsprint and TV. I also believe that I will produce the greatest quality coursework and have the most amount of fun with this brief.

I have decided to create a thriller film trailer, I feel that the thriller genre is the area I would create the strongest texts.
