For the main task, we were given four separate options for which to complete. The choices consisted of either 'Print, Audio, Website or Video'. Each had it's own highlights and downfalls;
The Print - The print seemed interesting, as it was quite flexible and appealed to several of our group. However, some such as myself had studied Media as a course for GCSE, and thus had already produced a magazine as part of the brief. For this reason, we decided not to choose print, as it was too similar to tasks previously done.
The Audio - The audio seemed as though it would be the most difficult to manage of the four tasks, as it would not be easy to create a radio bulletin since nobody in the group really listens to the radio a great deal. On top of this, the facilities we would need are not readily available, and thus we would have to spend a good deal of time searching for the necessary equipment. Therefore, we decided against this task.
The Website - Although all of the group had access to the internet, and thus research was not an issue here, nobody within the group had a sufficient amount of knowledge in making websites to an even half decent standard. For this reason, the website was instantly dismissed as a choice.
The following are the reasons for choosing the video task;
The Video - We chose the video task, as it had a huge amount of variability, as all the brief said was to include two minutes of the opening credits to a film. Due to this, it seemed extremely attractive because of the level of creativity we could place into it. Everyone in the group had a good amount of previous experience in this field of media, and all of us agreed it seemed like an enjoyable task. For this reason, we decided that the video would be our task. We preceeded to carry out product research, storylines and character analysis.
