Coursework: Film trailer pre-production The Ignite presentations have been both entertaining and inspiring - now it's time to take the next steps in our planning. Pitching a film to a group is a daunting prospect and from our presentation and feedback we should now have a good idea of what will work and what needs re-drafting. You should already have the following posted to your Media 2 coursework blog: 1) Summer project research: six film trailers each with a specific media language focus 2) Film pitch for your film idea 3) Statement of Intent 4) Ignite presentation,  feedback and learner response Statement of Intent: tutorial Over the next week of lessons, you will have an in-depth tutorial with your coursework teacher on your  Statement of Intent . This is worth 10 marks but more importantly  MUST  set out a detailed plan for your actual coursework (including specific references to aspects of film language such as shots, edit points and use of sound).

Coursework: Film poster research and pre-production With our film trailers in production, we need to turn our attention in class to the second half of the brief - print. The three film posters are as important as the trailer in terms of marks so it's vital we properly research and plan our print production work. What do you need to produce? You should create three posters to help promote the same feature film. You should identify the typical placement locations for each poster. Each poster should be different and target a specific segment of the target audience. Specifically: ·          Fans of the genre ·          Females ·          Males The posters will be used to promote screenings of the film at a local film festival and the layout and design of each poster should be appropriate for its intended location. Each poster should use a different image but the advertising campaign should appear coherent. Audiences should recognise each poster as being part of th
