My Progress this year:
I feel I have progressed massively over the course of the year. I am a lot more technically knowledgeable now than I was at the beginning of the year, or even at the end of the preliminary task.
I believe I have learnt a lot of what is necessary to make media products, and to analyse them. I have learnt the components of a media production and what level of quality is required from each of these components to attain a quality media product.
I have learnt a lot about lighting in particular, as I have learnt the 3 point lighting setup and how this can be adapted to suit a range of different scenarios & to achieve a range of different effects. Specifically to school productions, I have learnt how to effectively use the lighting kits, which will also allow me to use other lighting equipment in out of school productions. I have learnt a lot about a range of technologies, which I believe will put me in good stead for the future, as I am now much more capable and fluent in the use of media-based technologies, or technologies that are fundamental to the creation of media products.
Most of all however, I believe that I have grown in confidence as both a media student, and as a creator of media products. I now have a lot more self belief in my ability to create a media product, so am therefore becoming more experimental in my production creation. This will be helpful for my future as a creator of media products as I will try bigger & better things, and will strive to achieve a higher calibre of final product.

If I decide to take media at A level, i would aim to be more imaginative with the productions. At AS level i played it quite safe and I think this has held me back from achieving a good grade. I would like to continue to develop my ability to edit, as I believe the better I get at this, the better my films will look. I would also put a lot of effort into furthering my ability to complete the technical roles such as the use of the cameras, lights & sound as i think these would improve my ability to create video productions on the whole.
