My progress so far as an A Level Student

As I didn’t take media as a GSCE I didn’t really know what to expect.  I have found I’ve had an OK start to the course however I didn’t realise how hard it would be.  I’m confident with the effect of camera angles, and lighting and how editing can change the genre of a piece. I can understand why the POV (Point Of View)  is how it is and support my point. I have the basic understanding of structuring an essay and I’m good at answering the question yet when it comes to analysing Camera, editing and Mise-en-scene even though I understand why it’s done i struggle with analysing it in a technical way. I find i answer the questions like an English essay using the wrong terminology. I need to learn the difference between the two and work on the definitions of the terminology. By doing research i have learnt the difference in age rating 15 and 18. This will help not only me, but  my group as a whole when it comes to making our intro as it will help us decide how restricted we want it too be. I feel like my strength in the group is organisation. I often write down what needs doing on a whiteboard and as a group we decide who does what. However i often forget to blog what we have done which i need to work on.
My targets: To understand the technical terminology when essay writing. This will include revising over key words and learning the full definition. Also i need to Blog more and in more detail.
