Briefs and Theories:

Here, i have included two briefs. I am to choose one of the following to focus on throughout my A2 course.

Example of a magazine advertisement

1. 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 cover or its release on DVD
• A magazine advertisement for the DVD

2. 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

From this, i am most likely to choose brief number 1. As it would be approached with much more enthusiasm and interest as i appeal and feel more knowledgeable about music. This would also be supported by the work i did in AS Media Studies (see additional blog) because throughout that course i was to focus on a specified music genre and designed a magazine front cover, double page spread and contents page promoting that genre and magazine. Therefore, i feel choosing brief number 1 would be most beneficial to me. 

Linked theories that must be included in Section A:

• Genre
• Narrative
• Representation
