Products- genre/title
For my A2 coursework, i am going to be producing a promotion package for a new film; which will include a trailer, with a poster and film magazine front cover (featuring the film). The genre of the film will be a slight mix between comedy and abit of romance, but will most definately be more so a teen drama; consisting of the commom features; being set in a high school and involving mild adolescent sexual
adventure and conflicts with authority.
Aims- post-modern? Representations- synergy, cross media
The aims of the film is to create a promotion package for a appealing British film comedy, which we don't see too many of these days, and it is far more of a challenge as it seems easier to create a american comedy, that would have gross potential.
Target auidenceThe target auidence for my promotion package will be British teenagers, aged between 13 upwards.
Institution
The institution that would be likely to produce such as a film would be warnerbros, or something along the lines, that has a large range of films targeted at the teenage auidence.
A basic outline of the film trailer:
A new girl from out of town who comes to England and attends a public school. She is the 'nerdy' type who does not fit into the social cliques. But her luck changes where she is taken in by the popular group, however everything is not all perfect. Problem then equilibirum gained.

Analysis of my skills using digital technologies
Since the beginning of my last piece of coursework during year 12, my digital skills have progressed quite vastly due to the use of various programmes during the creation of my music magazine.
The skills i acquired in desk top publishing were how to create text boxes, changing size of texts, inserting text, images, macros. Also, i learned how to layer objects, change the order of objects, rotating objects and changing the backgrounds colours; which all came to great use in my previous coursework.
Also, when using photoshop, i developed from just knowing the basics of changing background colours and deleting layers to layering images, changing the opacity and deleting backgrounds; this was thought the thorough use of the programme and exploration of what is has to offer.
Last year, i lacked in my recording skills, as my use of a camcorder was very limited, so when using the camcorder i found it very difficult to grasp at first, and still know only the basics. These include loading the tape, the use of zoom and playback. This is an area in need of further development; which i think is likely as we will be recording for some element of any of the available briefs.
Video editing is also an area in need of further development, as when creating the magazine front cover last year, i didn't have a chance to really use a camcorder, so there was limits to what i could learn and my skills remained very much the same; with only being able to capture the footage and cut it down when needed be.
I think I have learnt that when constructing my media project last year, cameras are very difficult in using them to take the perfect shot, as everything on the settings has to be perfect, in order to get what you want.
Furthermore, when creating my actually blog last year, it was a completely new activity and involved new skills and now that i have become very familiar with them and setting up this blog was quite easy, and i believe that the skills acquired in creating the blog will help me further in my chosen brief, as a web page is needed to be created for a movie trailer.
Moreover, since the beginning of year 12 and the preliminary task, i believe i have gained valuable knowledge and acquired various useful skills, that can only now be further progressed when completing my year 13 coursework, and some elements which lacked in accuracy; such as picture quality,time management, can only ensure i do the opposite and steer clear from those armature mishaps.
