AS Coursework Reflection

I was asked to reflect on my AS coursework. I used the following Titles to write down what I used last year and what I used them for.

Digital Media:
- Computer Based Media
Adobe Photoshop, was used for editing the photo of our Queen B's
Adobe Premier Elements, was used for editing and making the final changes to our opening 2 minutes of a film.
Freeplay Music, was used for finding music to fit with our film.
Blogger, was used to blog what we did every day for our media course
Youtube, was used to look at clips from films with a similar genre
Media Convertor, was used to covnert a clip of working titles logo so we could add it onto our movie.
- Components used for actually filming our film.
Camcorder, used to capture the film
Microphone, used to capture sound that the camcorder didn't pick up
Tripod, used to stabalise the camera so it wouldn't move around and be shaky during a shot
Digital Camera, used for the photo of our Queen Bees and used in the evaluation tasks

Creativity
We followed the stereotype for our chick-flick, however to make it different we used still images at the end to show the transformation.

Research and Planning
To plan our film we watched lots of chick-flick trailers on youtube and used storyboards to plan what we were going to include in our film. We redrafted the final storyboard to make sure it fitted in with our film.
For our ancillary task we used the 360 rule and the over the shoulder shot.

Post Production
We recieved good feedback for our film, we didn't recieve any bad feedback.

Evaluation
We used Youtube, for us to upload our video and people to comment on it, of what they thought about it and what we could've improved on.
We got a list of 7 evaluation tasks to complete and we used shots from both our preliminary task and our main tasks to compare them to see what we had learned.
We used Google to find pictures of other similar characters in the Chick-Flick genre to compare our characters to.
We used a digital camera to take pictures of us standing by the equipment that we used to say what we've learned from it and how it helped us to finalise the clip.
