Welcome to my blog!


I will be using this blog to chart my progress of my AS media coursework, from the research and planning, the construction of my main task, through to the evaluation of my final product which will be the opening titles of a crime film. 

The brief for my work is as follows: 

Preliminary exercise: Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

Main task: The titles and opening of a new Crime fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes.

Also, here are the aims and objectives of my work: 

"The purpose of this unit is firstly to assess candidates’ ability to plan and construct media products using appropriate technical and creative skills (AO3); secondly to assess candidates’ application of knowledge and understanding in evaluating their own work, showing how meanings and responses are created (AO2); and finally to assess candidates’ ability to undertake, apply and present appropriate research (AO4). The unit requires candidates to engage with contemporary media technologies, giving them the opportunity for development of skills in these technologies."
