There is good advice on the BBC’s Film Network pages, together with many short films which may inspire your own work.
The site has an excellent guide to short film making. Some parts of it are not relevant to the kind of project you will make for A2 Media Studies, but you may learn a lot from it about the film-making process: http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/filmmaking/guide/
Here is a list of some of the shorter films which are worth both watching and analysing:
