Film Task

“Building on your skills from your foundation portfolio produces a short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, together with a poster for the film and a film magazine review page featuring the film. All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source.”

From this brief I understand that I need to create three pieces; a five minute short film; a poster for this short film; a film magazine review of the short film. For these three pieces I will conduct research by analysing existing products and looking into the industry of film makers. I will show my development of the products on this blog. Finally, I will piece it all together a make a final product.
