As we begin to start to prepare for starting our new projects, i feel it would be a good idea, to look at past projects to see what kinds of research they performed as a way in which to help me with my own. The past years work is really successful, and I think I would benefit by considering some of the research they have also done. Some of these things are:
- Research in to ancillary tasks as a way in which to have a greater understanding of the forms and conventions of different types of media: whether that’s music videos, trailers or short films.
- Looking at audience, and target audiences. It would be a good idea to look at what appeals to different audiences, and when creating something for them, adapting these appeals to create a piece that’s successful.
- Considering copyright, and if this will become relevant to the option in which i choose.
- Looking in to costume, and how different pieces of costume reflect different ages of audience and the conventions of them also.
- Considering different genres of music, and genres of film. That way for which ever one i choose, I will have a greater understanding of what aspects and conventions i should be considering.
- Looking at different shots types, and how each of these can be captured, the ability to do them and the meanings they can create.
- General research into music videos, short films and trailers that way I can adapt the information i learn from each to creating a much greater quality piece.
