Research Plan


The genre of my proposed media product is Crime Thriller. I have chosen this genre as it’s something different and I’m familiar with a majority of the codes and conventions that are used in this particular genre, which will allow me to create a successful teaser trailer that is easily recognisable to the target audience that are interested in this genre of film.
 
In addition to creating a trailer, I also intend to create a film poster and a magazine cover. I have chosen to do these as I already have experience with designing a magazine cover from last year’s tasks which will allow me to use my knowledge that I have gained to help me create the product. Also, the skills from making a front cover of a magazine will aid in the designing of a film poster.

The lowest age rating for a Crime Thriller would be around 12A, however the commonly used age rating for Crime Thrillers are usually around 15 to 18, as this age group are more likely to be interested in this genre.

Crime Thriller is a popular genre, so many professionally produce films already exist, so I can use them as a guide to create my own trailer for this particular genre, such as The Usual Suspects, directed by Bryan Singer. This film is one of the most famous Crime Thrillers and is interesting and imaginative. It was also praised highly by critics and earned a high rating on IMDb. The director has also produced many other popular films and even TV shows, therefore I believe looking at the way Bryan Singer and other accomplished directors produced their Crime Thrillers will allow me to create a successful trailer of my own.

Finally, the brief allows me to be as creative as possible with my trailer. Therefore, I can use a variety of techniques and also use my knowledge of Mise En Scene, Sound and Camera shots and angles to create a successful and professional looking trailer. Also, it will allow me to be creative on designing a poster and magazine cover, too.
