Reflections

Today we discussed the nature of the A2 course and discovered it was very evaluative and will require us to reflect upon our previous AS work. using the following question prompts in our groups, we began to deconstruct our AS work:

1) How have digital technologies impacted your production work?

• Improved the quality of our work drastically
• Made our use of time more efficient

2) To what extent did knowledge of media products influence your media product?

• The conventions of genres we investigated helped us to develop our film
• Convergence: for example, using the iPhone to create content

3) What skills have you developed from the beginning of the course to the present day?

• Setting up a shot
• How to use a DSLR camera
• Storyboarding
• Shotlisting
• Screenplaying
• Further development of Final Cut skills, including colour grading
• Analysing moving image/recognising rerensentation

4) What new terms or concepts have you learnt this year? 

As well as many more, but these were the ones I could think of on the spot!
