AS Media Course

What I will be doing in my AS Media Course:

  • Make a Blog documenting the course and my interests.
  • Make the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes.
  • Make an Evaluation on my blog which creatively says:
    • In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
    • How does your media product represent particular social groups?
    • What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
    • Who would be the audience for your media product?
    • How did you attract/address your audience?
    • What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
    • Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

How the course works:

  • AS Media is a one year course, this AS qualification is worth 50% of the total AS marks.
  • The coursework will take place throughout the year and the exam will take place sometime in May.
  • I shall be required to complete one coursework unit, which will require a portfolio  of work.
  • There will be one exam with two sections. At some point in the year there will be a mock exam to help prepare for this.

ME

Hiya, I’m Jess and this is my AS Media blog.

I’m from Lincolnshire which is quite a boring place to live. I’m in a family of 6 and my brother is like my best mate. I also have 2 sisters, one of them is 10 and she is the best little cook I have ever met, I swear she’ll have her own cake shop when she’s older. My other sister is a bit of a handful and slightly on the wild side.

I like rollerskating and going out with my friends, basically being surrounded by the people I love makes me happy.

In this blog I shall write about media and it will contain most of my media course. Hopefully it will be quite interesting.
