Original Brief

For my media coursework I was asked to chose between creating a promotional package for a new film which included a 30 second teaser trailer, a film magazine front cover featuring the film and a poster for the film or a short film lasting approximately 5 minutes as well as a poster for the film and a film magazine review page featuring the film. Between these two options, I have chosen to make the promotional package as I feel I can create the trailer, magazine front cover and poster to a high level. I also feel that I am more familiar with trailers then 5 minute films. Although I would familiarise myself with the film during the research, I have a greater understanding of trailers which will benefit me in this option. From achieving this project, I aim to create a trailer which persuades people to come and see the film by using different shots and editing to create the desired effects. I also aim to create a professional looking magazine cover, which I feel I will be able to achieve because of my knowledge of Photoshop through earlier coursework tasks, as well as creating a film poster to a high standard.
