La Fin

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. (Winston Churchill)

I think this quote summarises the progress I have made this year. However as Churchill says it is not the end “but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning” shows that I have still a lot to learn about the filmmaking process and industry. The problems I faced, the struggles I had made me realize that even if you plan everything our and leave no gap, check everything twice so it will work on the actual shoot day, it will never go as you expected. However this is what differences a good director from a bad director. I found that I was able to cope with these spontaneous changes and quickly think of a new idea. Spontaneity in this case heightened the level of creativity. I was able to try new things out. The use of digital cameras in my production was therefore really helpful.

My Blog explores the production process and I let you be the judge of whether it is good or bad. But I learned a lot during this time. If I think about things I would have done differently the first thing that comes to my mind would be a different song and maybe a more narrative based video. But I am very glad that I explored this part of pop-videos which is not mainstream and more for a niche audience.

I have learned how to use different conventions and how to imitate and subvert them. This give the audience a more pleasurable experience an enables them to get into the world of the media text.

I am really proud of my progress I hope that it becomes obvious through my blog that I enjoyed this part of my Media Studies A-Level.
