Introduction

For my A2 piece of coursework, I have decided to a short film as my main piece of media product alongside two ancillary pieces being the film review of my short film and also a poster to my short film.

Last year for my foundation portfolio I had done a film opening (the first three minutes) to a thriller film. Because of that, I realized how much enjoyed creating content, specifically story telling and depicting a narrative. Therefore, for my second year (advanced portfolio) I wanted to branch out and do a short film! My short film will be in the genre of a horror, this being a similar genre to a thriller, hence why I wanted to do it. To add on to that, I also wanted to do it because I believe that horror's are slightly more challenging due to modern horrors not only being competitive, but also because horror's are so repetitive, it is actually rare to find a genuinely scary one, therefore I wanted to challenge myself. Within this blog, I will be recording the production process of my main product and ancillary texts, so I will be researching about short films/reviews/posters, planning it out and recording all of this unto my blog.
