Hello! I'm Amy and here's my AS Media blog

I was required to produce a film on the coursework topic, film noir.

But first I had to do a preliminary exercise within a group. It was the first time we could get used to the cameras and microphones as well as getting to use the editing software on the Apple Macs. As a class our pieces of film were assessed
in order to point out where we could improve. It was a very helpful learning experience. We then had to, again in groups; film an opening sequence of an exchange between two people in the style of a film noir. We had to use a close up of the exchange of an item between the two. Again we had to present our film to the class which enabled us to find out what we could improve on. Then I went away and evaluated the sequence for myself using the helpful criticism from the class.

When we finally were able to film our film noir opening sequence, I was prepared fully prepared due to the previous tasks. On this blog you will see the journey of learning I have been on…
