Main area of activity:
Print
Rationale: 100 words approx.
Review your progress throughout this year- what products have you made and what skills and
knowledge have you acquired? How will you use those skills?
What was your previous, similar production and how will it have a direct impact upon your project?
This year I have made an advert, games, an audio drama and a music video. I acquired
knowledge on photoshop as I hadn’t used it before this year. Using photoshop I learnt to animate
and to edit images. I will use my photoshop skills to make some print work to go alongside my
trailer. I've also gained knowledge in editing audio with Adobe Audition and video through using
Premiere.
My previous similar production was a music video. This will have a direct impact on my project as
it provided me with recent experience editing using Adobe Premiere, which I will use to edit my
final product.
106 words
Project Concept: 200 words approx.
The concept for my project is that I am going to make some promotional material for a crime
movie. I plan on making some print based work such as posters for the film and alongside these I
will make a teaser trailer to help create public interest in the film.
I will need to research other movie trailers, especially ones from similar genres to mine, to see
what techniques they use that I could incorporate into my work to interest the viewer such as
editing techniques and effects used.
Something else I will need to research is Adobe After Effects. This is a software that can be used

to make special effects. I have never used this software however so I will need to find out how to
use it since I am going to include special effects in my trailer. Considering the genre of film that I
am going for is crime, special effects such as gunshots and explosions are key things that people
want to see in these movies.
I may need to research a bit more into photoshop to find new things to include on my poster.
190 words
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed: 50 words approx.
How do you plan to evaluate the work? Reference conducting on-going evaluation (Production
Reflections) and your final self-reflection (Evaluation), analysing your work and its outcomes.
How will this process help developing your working practices as you continue with your
study/media career?
I will evaluate my work through my production reflections, where I’ll talk about my work whilst I’m
doing it. I’ll also evaluate my work through my evaluation where I will talk about this project as a
whole.
Evaluating my work helps develop my working practices as it shows me the things that I enjoy and
could continue in the future.
