Monday 23rd November 2009

Week B period 3 and 4

The main task for our AS Media coursework was to choose either print, film, audio, website. We had to choose one and do a preliminary task which allowed us to explore our skills. We then have to come up with a main task idea which would enhance our skills even further. My group consists of 4, two boys and two girls. Jack (me), Sam, Georgina, Samira During this double lesson we decided on what type of main task would be best suitable. Its was a difficult decision between film, audio and print. We decided to scrap website and audio due to the difficult nature of these tasks. In the end we decided on film as it was a choice we all decided on and believed we all would cope well with the task as the preliminary task was a success.

Genres-
· Horror
· Thriller
· Comedy
· Action
· Sci-fi
· Crime
