Brief for my Coursework

The following is the brief for my A2 coursework. It state both the AS and A2 brief and then an explanation after about the differences in the two briefs.

AS Brief: Film
The opening sequence of a new thriller, including the titles, aimed at a 15 or 18 certificate audience (approximately two minutes duration).

A2 Brief: Television
A series of at least three advertisements.

The differences between AS and A2:
For our AS moving image coursework we had to consider the medium of Film. We made the opening scenes to a thriller genre film. In the A2 course we are to producing moving images in the medium of television through advertisement.
We are able to choose are own genre, and also our own product to advertise. It could be one of four options. Either a product, a service, an appeal, or public information. These decisions all add together to create a greater sense of creativity as we are able to make more decisions independently about the style, topic or product as well as the way in which it is being portrayed in the advertisements.
Group sizes will also have an impact on the final production. The larger groups, used in the AS course are replaced with working in pairs or as individuals. This will mean that their will be a greater responsibility on each member of the group as the work will be spread out between less people and the final product is more dependant on group members input.
