AS L1 Intro v2

AS L2 Den Conn

MEST 1 Keep practicing your analytical skills ON EVERYTHING YOU SEE, WATCH, READ, SURF. remember that these skills well practiced will stand you in good stead for the exam and coursework.

MEST 2 You should be preparing for the second half of term by working on the BRIEF you have been given. We are still in the development stage and at this time we have some freedom. Enjoy the process.

WATCH as many trailers relevant to your project as you can - do this by checking out any film leads you can. Identify SPECIFIC MOMENTS which you want to 'steal' for your trailer. A shot, an effect, a development of tension, a mise en scene, acting, music etc. Make notes ALL THE TIME.

Check out IMDB and use the menus down the side to identify further details. Check out fan sites for specific genres, social networking links for new horror and suspense films. Use all means at your deposal to build a dosier for YOUR film. THIS IS IMPORTANT IN PROVING THAT YOUR TRAILER WILL INDEED HELP PROMOTE THE FILM AND THAT THE FILM IS SUITED TO THE AUDIENCE.

Good luck.



NB. ATTENDANCE AT ALL LESSONS IS VITAL.
