Chosen Brief

Looking through the briefs I do not feel confident I could make a product I would be proud of using the medium of Film, this has narrowed down the briefs I believe I could do well in. The ones I am currently exploring are:-

 • The first two pages of an original local newspaper (if done as a group task, each member of the group to produce an individual edition of the newspaper, following the same house style), together with two of the following three options:

  A billboard poster for the newspaper

  A radio advertisement for the newspaper

  Two hyperlinked pages from the paper’s website.

 • A website for a new TV channel (to include a minimum of three hyperlinked pages with original images, audio and video extract), together with two of the following three options:

  A newspaper advertisement for the channel      

  A double page spread for a listings magazine, focused on the channel’s launch

  An animated ident sequence for the channel.

 • The first four pages from an original regional magazine (if done as a group task, each member of the group to produce an individual edition of the magazine, following the same house style), together with two of the following three options:

 A radio advertisement for the magazine

 Two hyperlinked pages from the magazine’s website

 A billboard advertisement for the magazine.

During GCSE and AS I chose to do a Print option and thus I have very strong skills in this medium. Tto disregard these skills and attempt to learn from scratch another medium would take too much time to be able to make a product I am confident of and thus my chosen brief is:-

13. The first four pages from an original regional magazine (if done as a group task, each member of the group to produce an individual edition of the magazine, following the same house style), together with two of the following three options: 

• a radio advertisement for the magazine;
• two hyperlinked pages from the magazine's website;
• a billboard advertisement for the magazine.

All material for all tasks to be produced by the candidates with the exception of acknowledged non-original sound or image material used in a limited way in video/radio work. For music video, permission should be sought from the artist for use of the audio track.
