Introduction

My name is Helena Madhar and I will be studying A2 Media Studies in Year 13 at Hamstead Hall Academy. This year will involve the making of short horror movie, double page spread and a poster that links to our short horror movie. The research and planning for this will be 20 marks, the main product which is a horror movie will be 40 marks, the ancillary task 1 which is to make the poster for the film will be 10 marks, the ancillary task 2 which is to make a double page spread review of the film will be 10 marks, and the evaluation which consists of 4 questions will be worth 20 marks. This is all out of 100. This makes a grade C, 62 marks, a grade B, 72 marks and a grade A, 82 marks. The research and planning will consist off finding existing posters and double page spreads and annotating around them to show our knowledge and understanding of the way it's set out and why the certain camera angles, shot sizes, editing, sound, mise en scene (location/setting, positioning in the frame, lighting, props/costume/hair and make up, facial expressions/ body language) are all included.
