Students were encouraged to consider the requirements of the media coursework and the codes and conventions of a trailer. All trailers should provide the audience with information relating to:
GENRE.
CHARACTER.
LOCATION.
PLOT.
Reference was made to the necessity for trailers to be polysemic and access the enigma code but not be 'too' polysemic as this will result in the audience being confused and disinterested.
Below is a series of links to trailers that may help students with their research and provide some inspiration before constructing broadcast media. Note the nature of the editing, use of music, use of text to anchor meaning, use of narrative voice, characterisation etc.

Students were encouraged to provide a media analysis of the poster advertising MAN ON WIRE and were introduced to the basic capability of the video editing software that can be used to create broadcast media at BGS.
This is an example of broadcast media that could be categorised as belonging to the 'horror genre' and avoids cliche. This is a short film titled Poltergeist created by Prano Bailey-Bond. The editing and use of sound is stunning. However, if you are easily 'scared' you may wish to avoid this film.
