Briefing for A2 Media Studies

The two briefs that we can choose from for A2 Media Studies.


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 digipak for the album’s release; 
• a magazine advertisement for the digipak. 

OR

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 options: 

• a poster for the film; 
• a radio trailer for the film; 
• a film magazine review page featuring the film.

Me and Imogen Millard are pairing up, once again, and we have chosen to follow the briefing of the promotion package for the music promo video. We decided this because we wanted to explore different genres and themes as well as allowing us to become more creative.

Within the three opinions I have chosen the digipak option and also the homepage for the website because they can link easily together and can show my skills within the digital sector. I also chose these two ancillaries because in previous lessons in year 8 & 9 we created our own website and I enjoyed it very much so I chose to do the website homepage for the band because I know I would enjoy it and have had experience in it already. I also chose a digipak because I can create artwork since I have done art for my GCSEs and AS level, so I can use my skills in the subject area also.
