Brief - Comp 1

My group and I consisting of me, Jason, Gemi and Baron have chosen the Film Opening Task as our COMPONENT 1. This is the brief for the task.

 Option 1: Film opening task (video)

Main task: the titles and opening of a new fiction film (to last a maximum of two minutes). Titles should follow the institutional conventions of commercial cinema. The task may be undertaken individually or as a group. There should be a maximum of four members to a group.

All images and text used in the main task must be original, and produced by the candidate(s). Sound should be predominantly original (dialogue and atmospheric sound), though music taken from an acknowledged source may be used as part of the soundtrack.


This task should be preceded by relevant preliminary exercises to build up candidates’ skills with equipment and their understanding of conventions.
