Promotional videos for bands (helpful for those of you doing the music brief):
Take note of the conventions of these videos. They are NOT videos of the entire song but they do show clips of performances or the artists recording songs. There are interviews, discussions about their music and also glimpses of fans and 'behind the scenes' clips. The idea of a promotional video is that it allows the audience to feel closer to the artist or band and to feel as though they are getting an insight into their lives.
Sports moving image examples (helpful for those of you doing the sports brief)
Apologies for the quality of this one!
Take note of who is interviewed, camera angles, what is happening in the background, voiceover and also look at the similarity between the establishing shot and the final shot of the video (particularly in the first clip)
Film trailer people: I am genuinely too terrified to watch a horror trailer but I have checked on youtube and they are much easier to find than the other two briefs so you shouldn't have any trouble watching one and finding out the conventions. A few things I would suggest are: scary music, text flashing up on the screen and fading away, a shock (to prove that it will be scary enough to keep the audience hooked) and some unanswered questions to make the audience feel like they have to see the film. There will be plenty more to find but I shall leave that up to you!
