The document discusses research and planning for two different media projects. For the first project (AS), research focused on thriller conventions to inform a 2-minute thriller sequence. Planning included shot lists and storyboards. For the second project (A2), research was more individualized and looked at specific artist elements. Planning was more thorough, analyzing lyrics and designing an artist image before structuring the video. The improved planning process allowed for a more fluid and integrated approach between planning, filming, and post-production.
