Welcome to my blog for my A2 Media Studies coursework. With Hayley Pitcher, we have planned and created a 5 minute pyschological thriller entitled 'Mind Trap', which focuses on the life of Lucy, a teenager suffering from schizophrenia. As well as this, we have created two anciliary products; an audio advert that would be fit to broadcast on the radio and a poster to advertise our film to our demographic.

15th June 2010

For my A2 coursework, I decided to make a short film because out of all the possible options, it was the most appealing to me and it provides a lot of scope to create an effective product. However, I think it will be a difficult and time consuming exercise, but I am willing to put in the hard work to make it as good and as professional-looking as I can.

I also think that it would be benefitial to work in a small group so that the workload would be shared, so I decided to work with Hayley Pitcher because she has a lot of ideas, is a hard worker and I trust her to work with me as a team and pull her weight.

As a group, we made the decision that we would do a romantic, happy short film with a slight sci-fi/mystery twist because it would be more interesting and more unsusual, seeing as short films are usually thrillers or horror. Also, it provides a lot of scope for many camera shots and it will provide interesting and engaging dialogue.

I aim to update my blog every Wednesday with everything that Hayley and I have done.
