Planning as a Group

Group Planning

The group that I will be working with is a group of 4. The group consists of Georgia, Sabrina, Laura and I. Laura and I are both in year 13 so we have witnessed our peers taking their Media A level therefore we are able to gain some inspiration from their work however Georgia and Sabrina are both in year 12 and are considering studying Media at university which means they bring the passion and the fresh ideas into the group. Both of these elements will come together so that we can produce the best work possible. We all take other A levels as well as Media so balancing our time effectively could potentially be difficult.

To begin with, we discussed the different genres that we were interested in. Then once a list was compiled, we began researching each genre to find out the codes and conventions. Through our research, we decided that the most interesting opening sequences were Horror/Thriller film openings because they contained a lot of suspense which made us want to watch more. Also the codes and conventions of a horror/thriller are very clear and therefore easy to replicate.

As Georgia and Laura take media, we have access to the Drama students so if we felt like we wanted them to act in the opening sequence, they're available. Another advantage our group has is that Sabrina takes Design Technology. This will aid us in creating an appropriate logo for our film companies and name of the film as Sabrina has experience in using the software.
