Initial ideas.

For my A2 Coursework, I am working in a group with the other students in my class, as there are only three of us.

In our Group Meeting on 13 September 2012:

Eleanor, Marie and I chose to do brief seven from the advanced portfolio in Media, which was to create 'an extract from an original documentary TV program, lasting approximately five minutes' together with two other options from a list of three. We also chose to create 'a double-page spread from a listings magazine' and 'a newspaper advertisement for the documentary.' 

We have divided the work load and each member has their own task to complete which will contribute to the finished products:

Ruth- My task is to work on the newspaper advertisement  researching, analyzing other articles and finally creating the advertisement. 

Marie- Marie's task is to work on the double-page spread, researching and analyzing other spreads in magazines.

Eleanor- Eleanor's task is to create a list of possible documentary titles that could be included in our documentary series. Eleanor will also be the presenter of the documentary therefore she will have to ensure that the script created suits her style of presentation and that she is comfortable with the script. 

We have decided to create our documentary on the history of the Isle of Man and have named it The History of Mann.  Eleanor is going to research other documentaries that have been created on this subject and as a group we are going to watch extracts and take notes on the topics that have already been covered. From this research and analyzing we will be able to choose a topic for our five minute clip.
