A2 Media Introduction

For the A2 media course , I have started gathering initial ideas for my project. I have decided to research short film in depth to find out more on how to create my own product and see what genre suits this form. This year I want to challenge myself when planning and filming my product , as I want to steer away from the horror genre , since an amount of AS concentrated on it. My first thoughts were maybe creating a comedy drama , although I am still in the planning stage.

For my two an ancillary tasks, I have decided upon creating a poster to promote the film but am currently deliberating on choosing either the radio trailer magazine review page. Below are a couple posters and images in the thriller genre that have inspired me:

I rather like the dark color scheme this poster has included as it gives the island setting seem isolated.The low key lighting makes me think the protagonist is alone, afraid and in danger.

This is a conventional thriller poster as it doesn't reveal anything about the story,it leaves it all to your imagination .

This poster is obviously for an adult audience because of the "seven" sins placed in the centre , between the two characters.
