Media Coursework

1. Trailer

   • Why I chose this idea
     • I'm not limited in the content I create, whereas for something like a music video I would need to structure around a song
     • I can focus more on narrative and story in a way that I couldn't with other options
   • Possitives
     • Freedom to pace the video however I want
     • Freedom to focus on the narrative
     • I am allowed to experiment with more components such as music as well as dialogue
   • Negatives
     • I have to base any ideas or choices in a way that fits into the narrative
     • I have to implement more factors such as dialogue, music action etc.

2. Advert

   • Positives
     • Allowed freedom to create a brand of my own
     • Lack of narrative allows for more freedom to experiment with content
   • Negatives
     • More of a time constraint
     • Have to come up with multiple smaller ideas instead of one well thought out idea.
   • Why I didn't choose this option
     • There are less directions you can go with an advert, you are restricted by time in a way that impacts how fleshed out your ideas can be

3. Music Video

   • Positives
     • Lack of narrative essentially allows creative freedom
     • The song used allows for a great amount of inspiration for your work
   • Negetives
     • Have to shape any narrative around the song
     • Have to include elements such as lip synching which may be hard to implement into the narrative of the video
   • Why I didn't choose this option
     • I prefer to have more of a focus on narrative without having to consider the music too greatly
