Introduction to the brief

I have chosen to do brief 10, which is a short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may  be live action or animated or a combination of both. This piece will accompanied by two ancillary tasks, which will be a poster for the film and a film magazine review page featuring the film.

I have decided to attempt this brief over others because in my year 12 coursework I made a 2 minute opening scene for a horror film. Personally I feel that it was not as good as it could have been. So I want to try and do something similar for my year 13 coursework, but make it have a more cinematic flair to it, like better quality film footage and better audio, instead of it being  homemade.  

I was tempted to go with brief 2, which is to create a promotion package for a new film. It would include a trailer and two of these three ancillary options: a website homepage for the film, a film magazine front cover, featuring the film or a poster for the film. The reason I decided not to go with brief is because I feel that making a short film would take less time to shoot for, which be at most 3 days. Brief 2 may require me to shoot in various location, which will be more time consuming.

So since I know what brief I am going to do (brief 10) I now have to decide what genre to do for it. I have created a prezi that answers this.
