Experiences of AS Media

At the start of my AS level in media back in September 2008, i had little to no understanding of any media language or how to even edit a film. Through out the year, i have gained skills on Macs that helped me to get a film together for my coursework.

My skills when it came to being practical in media, (my crime film) are my organisational skills. i always get what i need when i need it etc. my flaws in this area were getting my group together and filming. There was a period of 2 months where our group never met as one of our group members was unreliable. i could not get to where the filming was taking place so i never knew what had happened with the progress. i had to rely on my 3rd group member a lot to do all the filming.

The program i am confident with using on the Macs is final cut. i have had to use this a lot in my first year so i know a considerable amount on the program. i am not confident in any other programs on the Macs as i have never used them before.

In A2, i plan to work on my own so i always know how far away from my goals i am. i will be able to keep on tracks and edit the filming the way i want it to be filmed. I have learnt from AS that you can never rely on people to always turn up when you need them to. This is why i plan to work on my own this coming year.

In my AS level, i got grade E. This was due to the lack of communication in my group on both our preliminary task and film. i do not yet know my target grade for this year.
