HOME STUDY for Tuesday 6th October.

I know I gave you free choice of genre for the trailer you choose and I don't want to change that but I would like some of you to consider the following genres: horror (and its sub-genres: vampire, ghost, psycho, slasher, zombie), suspense, thriller. You might also consider comedy.

In your annotations try to figure out what conventions are being used in the trailer.

Useful sites for trailers are:

Apple trailers

Yahoo trailers

But you might also consider older trailers which have clearer conventions, and which may be easier to analyse.

Keep your presentation to no more than 10 slides please and post notes to the BLOG in advance of Tuesday's lesson. Please also ensure that you have emailed me you presentation by Monday evening.

This Friday we will be beginning to consider the MEST2 Brief - in other words the coursework side of your AS Media Studies course.

PLEASE COMMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ THIS.
