Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog, during the next few months i will be updating this with regular posts including details of my coursework and the research i have done. My overall aim is to provide a portfolio of my work, for the readers to clearly understand how i have completed my coursework and how it has developed over time. If i have achieved this by the end of the allocated time i will judge this project to be a success.

The brief i have been given consists of creating an original, 2 minute teaser trailer and a poster with the aim of advertising our made up film. Primary and Secondary research aimed at my target demo graph will be used throughout the task to shape what the final product will look like.
My intentions are to successfully create a product that fans from a specific film genre can identify with, it will have to include techniques and features relevant to the genre, while being original in its own way.

The first thing I intend to do is start the research on film trailers and posters by looking at existing products from companies such as 'Shutter Island' and possibly, products from media outlets such of 'YouTube.com'/ This will hopefully give me a better understanding of the conventions and features that a teaser trailer and film poster's typically include.

Finally on the subject of research, i plan on carrying out as much of it as possible, this is because as of now, my knowledge of conventions, camera angles and editing techniques is limited. I believe the best way of doing this would be to analyse existing products and point out the reasons why certain features where included. By doing this i will hope to achieve a better understanding of what appeals to their customers and implement some of these idea's into my/my groups own creation.
