A2 Examples

After looking into the different Media Product categories, again I narrowed down my options to my preferred two briefs- Soap Opera and Film trailer. With the two in mind I researched various coursework examples of each on YouTube, to get an idea of the kind of codes and conventions that are present in these two different products, and from this I evaluated the pros and cons of each video. Having evaluated the videos, I can now decide which brief I would like to do, and what exactly it would entail to ensure my coursework follows the same features as a stereotypical Soap Opera or Film Trailer. As well as ensuring to avoid any of the cons I came across in the other students' work. This research task helped me to understand what things I will need to include in my Coursework to ensure I have a professional and realistic end product.

A2 Coursework Briefs

Having looked at each of the possible Coursework Briefs for A2 media, I decided to choose my favourite three out of the selection, and henceforth planned different scenarios and possibilities for each media product to help me narrow down my choice of category for the final media product, as well as for the type of genre I would like to adopt when making the piece. The three I chose were Soap Opera; Film Trailer & Documentary, I felt that for each of these briefs I could come up with numerous plot lines and ideas in order to develop throughout the various planning and research stages. I decided to come up with various plots for each category, each having varied genres. By doing this I was able to research further into each genre and how they are applied to each type of brief.
