A level Media Studies Brief for Fictional opening sequence.

1. As Media Brief
Molly Sandford

2. Main Task
• For the main task; we need to
complete an opening sequence of
a new fictional film which can last
up to two minutes and must
include titles.
• The sequence can be any genre of
our own choosing.
• The key to a successful opening is
to leave the audience asking
questions and creating scenarios in
their minds of what they believe
the rest of the film will be about.

3. Mark Scheme
• When appropriate, shots must be held steady.
• Framing a shot, including and excluding elements as appropriate.
• Use a wide a variety of shot distances as appropriately as possible.
• Shooting material appropriate to the task set.
• Selecting mise-en-scene including colour, figure, lighting, objects
and setting.
• Editing; so that meaning is apparent to the viewer.
• Using varied shot transitions and other effects selectively and
appropriately for the task set.
• Using titles appropriately.
