Titles Research

I have created a prezi looking into the design of different film titles, and how they are effective within a certain film. I have also discussed how having good titles has a positive impact on the viewing audience, and how they can influence the attitudes that the audience have towards that particular film.

Website Research

Here I have created a prezi explaining the reasoning behind film companies create websites for their new project, and how the website can benefit various parties related to the new film.

Facebook Page

As well as having our own Twitter page, we have decided to create our own Facebook page for our production company. The advantage of having two pages on separate social media platforms is that it allows us to market and advertise our production company to a wider audience, and allows us to continually update fans of the company with new information about the teaser trailer.

Social Media - Twitter

Here I have created a prezi giving a background insight into the social media site 'Twitter', and how film companies have utalised this social media method to reach out to new audiences.

Planning Our Pitch


We planned our film in the thriller genre looking at different theories to create our final film idea.

Thriller Survey

I sent out a survey to an audience who would normally watch this genre of film to get the most fair results from the correct audince.

Looking at Audience Survey In Depth

To get an idea of who our target audience is I looked at the main responces from people who choose the thriller genre to be their favourite. From these results I was able to look at audience in a more specific way.

Audience Research

Creating a survey on 'Survey Monkey' we looked at a wide range of peoples opinions of films so that we could then look at it further at the main audience for our trailer.

Thriller Trailer Research Part 1

I have analysed in detail many different trailers of the thriller genre so that I can understand the key conventions and it will help me when creating our final outcome.

Production Company Name

Based on our own opinions, for our production company for our A2 course, we have decided on the name 'Secret Productions'. When you think about the word 'secret', it creates a lot of mystery, a lot of the facts are hidden from the public, and this is something that we as a group wanted to re-create within our own product. We like the idea of having a suspicious under-tone to our production, something that makes the audience question what is going on in the storyline, and something that may put one of our main characters in danger. This relates to the connotation of 'secret', which is one of the reasons why we chose that company name.

Introduction to our blog

Welcome to our blog A Secret Productions by Jack Barnes and Remi Kersey. We will upload all of our research as we create our trailer for our A2 Media Studies work. We will be creating a film in the thriller genre to the best of our ability!
Our twitter page will be avalible on the side of our blog to keep up to date with all the latest information and surveys that you can take part in.
