Summary of AS media coursework blog

It is unbelievable how much I have learnt over this whole media project. I have felt the most challenged I have ever felt during a coursework piece, also I am extremely glad I managed my time well enough to complete the project in time.
It has been a stressful and emotion course, but now that it is complete I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that the coursework side of the course is over, I can concentrate much more on the exam side.

If I am able to pass the course, I will DEFINITELY be coming back next year to complete my A2 in Media studies.
Thankyou, and goodbye :-)

Final version of The Delivery Boy

This is the penultimate version of our film introduction. It took us an approximate 50 hours of editing to perfect and achieve the standard of quality we wanted.
It's been an emotional ride but now that it is finally done, we're glad we soldiered on to the end and delivered our production on time.

Today we spent time in Daniel's studio reviewing and analysing our film introduction to make sure there were no errors, and to make sure we were 100% happy with it. I will embed the video in a separate post.

Evaluation

This is the evaluation we created with the 7 questions set on the year 12 practical blog.

Today we filmed our Evaluation for the whole of our media project.
Admittedly it was quite tough at first as we all got a bit camera shy, and we froze quite regularly. However, after a good 10+ takes of practicing our lines and orders, we managed to film an appropriate and professional evaluation.

Yesterday (Sunday), Me, Daniel, Georgia, and Alice all went to Daniel's studio for 12 o'clock to edit and review our roughly finished film opening.

One thing we hadn't included in the film was a production name and logo, however yesterday we spent a good hour creating one.

We decided to call our production name 'Phantom productions'. The reason being because the power source Daniel was electrocuted by was Fantom powered, and as a group we thought it was a nice little pun and something which we thought that was fitting for the film.

One thing we needed to change about our film intro was the length, we were told it 'dragged on' and that it was too long.

In the 4-5 hours we spent in the studio we managed to cut down a reasonable amount, and now we have become happy with the length, as it flows smoother, and gets to the point.

Another thing we needed to change was a few transitions and to create a music soundtrack, and yesterday we were able to do both. In Daniel's studio we used the piano and a music software program to create a jazzy riff, which we were able to make fit well with the film.

We will be going to the studio as a group one day this week to make our final changes to the film, and make sure everything is converted and ready to hand in.

Yesterday was the day of the showcase and we had to present our final draft of our film intro.
Despite the rough transitions and narration, which we already knew about, we got exceedingly positive feedback and hopefully we are aiming to achieve full marks which we are extremely happy about.
We also got told a lot of things that our class mates and teachers suggested we edit in order to have a chance at going for the full marks.

Me, Daniel, Georgia, and Alice have planned to goto Daniel's studio at about 11 on sunday, so we can spend a good 5 or 6 hours editing the film intro and so everything is perfect.

I'll make another blog update on shortly, most likely sometime next week.
