Treatment for preliminary activity


PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY NARRATIVE IDEA

Number of characters: 2

Setting:
One character is sat at a bench and the other walks over and then sits on the bench next to them.

Narrative:
One of the characters is sat on the bench, waiting for a box/briefcase/folder that contains money. The other character walks up to the bench, with the briefcase, and then starts talking to the other character. Eventually they open the box/briefcase/folder and the money is not in there. The one character demands to know where the money is, and threatens the other with something unless he comes up with an explanation. The other character refuses to tell him, until the threats get worse. And then he explains that the cash was taken by someone else who was doing a deal with him.

Initial Thoughts on the A2 Media Coursework

Overview

For the A2 Media Coursework, a movie marketing campaign must be created. This will involve creating a trailer, that is around 1:30-2 minutes long, for a movie, and two print products - a poster for a movie and a front cover for a movie magazine. These will be used to promote a film. I feel that this will be an interesting piece of coursework, as both moving images and print will be used to complete it.

Preliminary Task

For the preliminary task I will have to produce a short narrative within one of the following genres:
  • A Western Gunfight
  • A Horror Chase
  • A Romantic Encounter
  • A Gangster Deal
This will be done in a group of three or four people. The narrative will need two characters and be 60 second long. I must develop skills in using the cameras, iMovie (editing), the tripods and sound.
The preliminary activity must include all of the 11 shots listed below:
  • 1.Establishing shot
  • 2. Long shot
  • 3. Medium shot
  • 4. Close-up
  • 5. Extreme close-up
  • 6. Low angle shot
  • 7. High angle shot
  • 8. Medium close-up
  • 9. Tracking shot
  • 10.Over the shoulder shot
  • 11.Point of view shot
The project must include a: treatment, a shortlist of every shot, a script conforming to conventions, at least two characters, dialogue between the characters, titles, a suitable soundtrack, thoughtful use of mise-en-scene, a final product that is uploaded to youtube and the blog.
