GCSE Media Studies – Film Promotion – Practical Task

GCSE Media Studies – Film Promotion – Practical Task

For this part of the unit you need to come up with your own idea for a feature film.   It can be from any genre but the more generic it is, the easier it is for you to conform to and subvert generic conventions.  The practical tasks are;

1.   Devise a poster for your film, using at least one original image (taken by you). You should aim to create a sense of narrative image and generic coding, as this will help your audience identify your film and create a sense of expectation.  This should be done on Photoshop and must be completed in class under controlled conditions.

2. Create a storyboard for your film’s trailer.  This should include key moments from the film and some generic elements that will help your audience identify the type of film it is and create a sense of expectation.  The storyboard must be at least 12 frames long and will be completed mainly in class.
