Research and Planning

Research and planning

The task we have chosen to do is a short film instead of a documentary. The reason we chose to do this was because for our AS media portfolio; we had to do a two minute opening sequence of a movie. This has therefore widened our knowledge of what it takes to make a successful short film. We are prepared due to previous experiences of our two minute sequence and as a result we are able to avoid any mistakes being made for our contemporary film. Two particular issues that we faced in our previous sequence were framing and continuity. To overcome this problem, we did thorough research by analysing various short films and notice what we were doing wrong. As a result; our understanding and skills are broadened of how a media product is produced.
