Briefs

Today we were given our choice of briefs to choose from for our A2 main task. We have the choice of 13 briefs, ranging from a short film to a newspaper article. There are a number, mostly including film, that interest me, here they are:

  • 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 cover for its release on DVD;
    - a magazine advertisement for the DVD.
  • A promotion package for a new film, to include a teaser 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.
  • An extract from a new documentary TV programme, lasting approximately five minutes, together with two of following three options:
    - a radio trailer for the documentary;
    - a double-page spread from from a listing magazine focused on the documentary;
    - a newspaper advertisement for the documentary.
  • The first two pages of a new local newspaper, together with two of the following three options:
    - a poster for the newspaper;
    - a radio advertisement for the newspaper;
    - two hyper-linked pages from the paper's websites.
  • 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 option:
    - a poster for the film;
    - a radio trailer for the film;
    - a film magazine review page featuring the film.
  • An extract from a radio play, lasting approximately five minutes, together with two of the following three options:
    - a newspaper advertisement for the play;
    - a double page listing magazine feature about the play;
    - a page from the radio station's website promoting the play.
I like the sound off all these because they are mostly film based and I feel that is my strongest area and so these are the ones I can do best in. I also feel these are the most interesting, being projects that I could have the most fun in making.

Which ever brief I choose it will most likely be orientated round music, probably being a music video or documentary about music. Here are a couple of my favorites of each:

Music video: Blur - Song 2

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

                                      

Music Documentary: Music Technology Documentary
