I'm excited for the upcoming tasks and challenges involved in the second year of the Media course, making a film trailer is an exciting prospect which will be stimulating and enjoyable to plan and produce.
As I do photography a-level I feel like this will be useful because I'm aware how technical codes such as lighting and camera angles and symbolic codes such as body language, facial expressions, dress codes and props can create such an impact and exaggerate certain atmospheres or stereotypes. For example in a thriller genre trailer, you might want harsh, high key lighting for a bold, dramatic effect, with lots of shadows and highlights to create an intense atmosphere.
Lots of research will be a necessity to explore audience needs and expectations of the genre, and also it'll be important to portray a clear genre, through codes and conventions.
