Research

My name is Danielle and this is my media blog for my A2 project. As we started the new unit in class we had to get into groups. I decided to work in a three with two other members in my class,these two members were Ainsley and Paula. Our main task was to create a video from scratch lasting up to 5 minutes maximum. To start off we had to look at the different options on the specification to choose what type of video we wanted to create e.g music video. After looking at all the options it resulted in having two choices to pick from,which were option 10 - short film or option 7 - short documentary. In the end our group decided to choose option 10 - short film because we all had a great interest into films and how the films are created. In order to be able to create a short film we had to do some research. By doing this we will have a greater knowledge on how to create a short film and learn the cliches of the different genres used in short films .

Some of the films we research were on a BBC website that had many short films and documentaries . Here are some that we looked at :http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/films/p007h73t
http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/films/p004pn2x

By looking at these short films this gave our group an idea. We decided that our film will have some kind of betrayal or envy them to it , which is similar to the films that we looked at for our research.

However before we start making any solid ideas we need to do some market and audience research to help us make the final decision about what our film is really gonna be like. Also by doing this we will be able to create a film that will appeal to our target audience.
