The Brief

Before I was even told about the briefs, I already had in mind that I wanted to involve video and filming in my coursework, however this was not specific enough to know what I wanted to do. As the different briefs were explained to me, there were several briefs that interested me due to the nature of working with video in these particular briefs. These briefs included:

1. A promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:

• A website homepage for the band;
• a digipak for the album's release;
• a magazine advertisement for the digipak.

2. A promotion package for a new film, to include a trailer, together with two of the following three options:

• a website homepage for the film;
• a film magazine front cover, featuring the film;
• a poster for the film.

10. A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with two of the following three options:

• a poster for the film;
• a radio trailer for the film;
• a film magazine review page featuring the film.

I have decided to base my coursework on brief number 10.

This was as previously mentioned due to the nature of the media I could work with. However, this particular brief intrigued me due to the potential I personally believed was there and also as a serious fan of the film industry it seemed appropriate for me to choose. Also, in a short film I could merge more of my personal interests into the project including literature, fine art and music. This factor will keep me motivated and help develop a more effective and successful piece of coursework.
