The Brief

This is an overview of what we as a group will be working on for our AS Media Coursework. 

First of all we will participate in a ‘Preliminary Task’, in which we are required to film and edit a character opening a door, travelling to a chair, and taking a seat opposite another character. There must then be an exchange of dialogue and a match-on-action, shot-reverse-shot filtered in there too. It is also important that we adhere to the 180 degree rule to ensure continuity. Any action from this point onwards can be decided upon by the group, preferably a finishing motion as the task is intended to be relatively short. 

Then there come our main task, where we will be filming an ‘Opening Title Sequence’ to a new fiction film. The film must last for a maximum of two minutes, and is prohibited to contain original content only - unless of course copyright music is included in the production of our content. 

Each task must be completed over the course of the year leading up to the exam, with all candidates within the group contributing to the overall pieces of work. The maximum number of participants within a group is four students.
