Dear Audience & Examiner

You will see listed links to the blogs of A2 Media Students Class of 2010 here at Kings Langley School and copies of their videos under my posts.

They were set the task to produce a short film in its entirety and accompanying marketing material in the form of a postcard and film review page.

The students were supported in changing the brief from film poster to postcards as research and advice from industry specialists, suggested that short films conventionally used this form of marketing to target a specific audience on a small budget.

Thank you and enjoy.
