Reflection

I first thought A level media would be mostly about film and TV and how it is made. After the induction lesson and doing some of the bridging tasks I realised it also about analysing film and television programmes and trying to understand why they are made in a certain why. For instance why a certain camera position is used, or a type of editing. I also realised that media also deals with magazine and Newspaper production and writing reviews. This bridging task has taught me how to make a blog and update it regularly which I struggled to do before, I've also learnt how to analyse magazine covers in more detail. I enjoyed the TV drama post the most out of all the tasks because I had the chance to watch a television programme but also write what I thought about the programme which meant I had to watch it more carefully and try to fully understand it. After doing the media bridging unit I am more confident with AS Media because I have a better idea about what the course is about.
