AS Media Entry Blog

In my blog I will be writing the theory aspect on my AS Media project. This will contain many different aspects of filming. For example, things like different camera shots, continuity within films, codes & conventions, film openings & more. My blog will also make as a great form of revision when the time looms closer for my written exam. It will also show the creative process for the final outcome of our film opening. Here are some of the tasks that I will complete & explore:
