AS Blog

First of all on our media journey, here is the link to my AS blog to see how i progress:

Personally, I think that I learnt so much during AS media. On the coursework side, nearly everything I know now, I learnt during the year. I was shown and I realised how much planning and research goes into a product and that I needed to know who my product was for and what they liked . On Photoshop there are some skills that I used a lot more than others, like the clone tool, which I am very confident at, as well as the new tools I learnt to use. I, as well as my peers and my teachers, have seen an immense change in my skills and my confidence on a computer and on editing software. In general my computer skills have progressed a lot. I really like how the my contents came out the most, out of all my pages. The image was really bold and striking and there was a clear layout to it.


On the exam side to the course, considering it was a lot of essay writing i really enjoyed learning all the terminology and being able to apply it to a piece of TV drama. The essay writing has helped me improve, not just in media, but in all my other subjects and I think that it has helped my writing in general. I think I really got myself prepared for the exam and in the end I was very happy with everything I had achieved throughout the course. The last year has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. There have been times when I was really hating media, just because things weren't going right or they weren't going my way, and there were times when I felt on top of the world.
This year I want to get more on top of my blog posts and put them up more often along the year. I am going to make sure that I add more detail into my blog posts and go into the theory behind the videos in more depth.
