For our AS and A2 course work we have researched into multiple media products as to influenced our own

We’ve looked at multiple opening sequences in AS and have carefully chosen features in terms of cinematography and mise-en-scene that are in synchrony with the conventions of the genre we’ve chosen.

For our AS Coursework my group designed a company logo that would come up in the beginning. We looked over multiple examples on the Internet. When we chose what we wanted we spend days on Youtube, looking at tutorials in Photoshop until we get the hang of working with photopshop.

As for the A2 Course work, our ideas were influenced by multiple trailers in terms of the narrative structure and genre they own and how is that relevant to our work.

We looked at posters and film magazine covers to get an image of how we’d like our marketing campaign to be presented. After we picked our designs, the creation process was a bit of a challenge in terms of using photoshop. It took us quite a while to get used to the program and manipulate the images the way we want them to look, but the final result taught us a lot in terms of skills.

Trough both years I have developed my research skills in terms of using the web and the photoshop, also my knowledge of film’s genre conventions has improved a great deal. This is very useful when it comes to evaluating my work and comparing my work to already existing media products.
