This blog is for my media coursework at AS level. It includes research into thriller films so that my group and I will eventually plan and produce our own two minutes into a thriller film. I'm working with Ellie Borgman, Phoebe McGunigal and Alex Price. To see their blogs, here are the links; http://www.elliejborgman.blogspot.co.uk/ http://08mcgpho.wix.com/media-studies

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
Also I feel that I have learnt more about teamwork and how it can help me make a product better than what I would've been able to make by myself. At first when we got told that we could work in groups I was worried that there would be some people who don't put in enough time into the product but my group has turned out to be brilliant for making a media product. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses in media so when one of us doesn't know what to do, someone else in our group will. We all agreed on the idea of the plot from Alex but each of us put in our opinion on how to develop it to make it a group decision. I was the main planner of what we would do in our film and how we would create it. I made the storyboard with inputs from everyone else in the group, I got the main female actress to take part in the film and I organised when we would meet up and what time. I learnt that some of my main qualities are organisation and determination. Where as the other members had other qualities that made the filming and editing of the film easier, such as how to work the software and the camera, Ellie and Alex, or how to compose relevant music to create an atmosphere in the film (Phoebe). Our friendships developed to allow us to feel comfortable offering up our ideas to the group and to take everything each of us said into consideration.
The preliminary was a quick video to shot and the idea was simple to conduct after being told what had to be included but from that to our main outcome, we have learnt that the making of a film takes a lot more time and effort in planning to make it look professional.
