Throughout the 2 years I have studied media at A Levels, I have learnt the importance of the skills of research and planning, as it allowed me to expand my knowledge and understanding, which enabled me to become more creative. After creating the tasks I was set to create, which was my AS music magazine and A2 horror teaser trailer, I have learnt that conventions are vital when creating products. The conventions allow the genre of your product to be established, as conventions are used to make the product recognisable to the audience.
My AS preliminary task was unsuccessful. This is due to the fact that I was not given anytime to plan or research about the type of magazine I was being asked to create. I had to create the magazine based of the minimal knowledge I had, which included, the structure of the magazine. Due to the fact that I was unable to research, I had difficulties adding conventions. The genre of my work was a college magazine and I was unable to look at examples. It affected my work as I was unable to broaden my knowledge, which limited my creativity skills, as the more research you do, the more knowledge you gain, which enables you to develop the skill of creativity.
In As we had to create a music magazine. My magazine was within the genre of grime, this meant I had to do thorough research into my chosen genre. Grime mainly consists of artist who are of an ethnic minorites, and live in the working class areas. I looked at grime artist such as Stormzy, Wiley and Giggs. Through this I was able to gain knowledge about the types of clothing they wear, which I then used of the artist featured in my magazine. Also I saw that grime is a masculine genre, which includes red, blue, grey and black. Through this I was able to establish a colour scheme for my magazine. I realised that these were all conventions of a grime music magazine. As it difrencoates the different genres of magazines. The skill of research and planning broadened my knowledge and understanding, which allowed me to be more creative.
In my second year of A Levels, my group and I had to create a horror teaser trailer. In order for this trailer to be successful we had to do a lot of research and planning. We watched movies and trailers that were similar to our trailer concept. Then we had to erase her different sections of horror. As I was creating the story board, I had to do research about the types of stock scenes in a horror trailer, such as the Zombie track away, or behind opaque glasss. This allowed the genre of our trailer to be recognisable.
Throughout the 2 years of my A Levels course, my planning skills have improved. In AS, I didn't plan the structure of my magazine as I just used a temp,age from another magazine. Where as in A2 my group and I had to do thorough planning, as we had to go out and film. As we did more research, we were able to understand the convention of a horror trailer, more and their purpose, which was to show the difference between the different genres. This develoomuhas been demonstrated through the detail shown and success of our work.
