Exam Preparations

Key Points:
*Family friendly
*Not too many special effects
*Global appeal
*TV Focus on marketing- this means TV trailer, maybe a making of programme, or an interview with the directors/actors... one suggestion, planning an advert. Competitions to go on the set of the film.

To think about:
Task 1- codes and conventions and perhaps representation.
Task 2- institutions and audiences- why are they made, why they are popular and with whom.
Task 3- ideas for film and synopsis.
Task 4- storyboard for TV trailer.


Merchandise is an interesting idea- show awareness of all the different techniques.  Understanding synergy e.g Star wars with lego.
