For my media A2 coursework I choose to do brief 8 :-

The first two pages of a local newspaper, together with two of the three following options:

• a poster for the newspaper
• a radio advertisement for the newspaper
• two hyperlinked pages from the papers website

I choose this brief because I think my magazine print AS coursework has helped me prepare for a print brief, I think newspaper are important in the society we live in, so I think its a good idea to learn how to work with the conventions of a newspaper. I also am an English student, so I feel my writing and English skills will show through here. It will be useful when i come to writing an interesting, and well written story which would attract audiences and cause success if this were a newspaper in the real world.

From the three bullet point options I have chosen to do:

• a poster for the newspaper
• two hyperlinked pages from the papers website

I have chosen these two options because I think a poster would be fun to create, I think my experience from my AS coursework will help me to achieve a successful poster, and I feel my creative skills would be useful here. I choose the website option because I'd like the experience with learning to create websites, I feel this would be an interesting and strong aspect to add to my project. Also I have access to the right technology to create these media products, whereas I would find it more difficult to access the technology to create a radio advertisement.
