Initial Ideas

Due to the success and productivity of working with Callum Hurley (www.remasteredmedia.blogspot.com) last year for my AS level media studies, I have decided to once again work with Callum. Last year, Callum and I both supplied our own edits and versions of our final piece, the result of this was we did twice the amount of work in terms of experiemental edits. Unfortuantly for me, Callum's edit scored a higher mark than mine, in order to avoid a repeat this year, we are both going to edit our own versions but select one (the one our teachers deem the best) and use that as our final.

We both want to step outside our comfort zone and try something completely different to what we have done before. In order for us to push ourselves we decided on a genre that we haven't previously explored. Comedy. We hope Comedy to be a genre that most other people in our class won't be doing.

Our first idea for the comedy was an apple styled advert for a made up product called the 'iCan' which was based on two cans connected by a piece of string. We made a context edit for this but then decided it wasn't difficult enough and wasn't going to push us. We showed the context edit to Mr Cunningham who said we should continue with it as a side project but not use it for the actual A-Level.

Our Second idea and the one we are currently exploring is a short film based on one friend helping the other friend get a girl to go on a date with him.
