Skills Development: Research




From AS my research skills have developed enormously as detailed in the video above. I have developed more individually with the independent work I must now set myself. As in AS we developed our blogs with research we were told to put on and given ideas. This contrasts now, as it is up to myself, especially as the producer, to think of my own ideas of thorough research to include on the blog and determine what research is relevant to our teaser trailer, such as conventions, ideal audience, and the genre of horror we are working on.

My skills have moved on from knowing the conventions of a basic music magazine  to being aware of the conventions of a teaser trailer and one of the genre of horror. Research found in my own time over the summer which entailed me to be detailed as within film there are many different types of genres and their teaser trailers are all presented differently and entail different key parts. For example usually action teasers have to be very fast paced with alot of quick cut editing, whereas our horror can vary due to the many types of horrors there are.

My developed researching skills have also helped me make links in terms of synopticity as I am able to obtain knowledge from my regulation lessons. Going to a BBFC workshop at college with a women who works at the BBFC was developed research for me, as from this I learnt about the classification of film and what would be deemed as to far and inappropriate for certain age classifications. This links well with the our genre of horror, which is a slasher, as slashers can sometimes contain elements that can border what is deemed acceptable by the BBFC as realistically our film would be regulated by the BBFC.
