Understanding Genres ...

During our last media lesson , we went through the typical conventions surrounding particular genres within film ; it was interesting to see how different things are immediately associated as belonging to a specific type of film . For example it's easy to link 'cliche' one liners and Hollywood explosions to the "action" genre as these are things which are typical with that particular type of film. During the lesson we were made to 'dress up' and construct a short production demonstrating a genre of film , my group was given the task of creating a 'disaster' movie ; at first we felt it would be a impossible task but through using technology it became quite easy as we were able to speed and slow down footage for dramatic effect as we as using effects.

The Transition ...

The change from AS to A2 hasn't been as smooth as I anticapted it to be , as the work load is much more intense and requires a greater deal of detail ; such as we are expected to blog alot more often than we did at AS ; our posts are to have a broader depth of thinking behind them and this year we are meant to put our own spin on it and change the traditional media conventions of film making.

To improve my grade this year I will need to put in a greater amount of work and definitely post more ; I feel as if my blog was the part of my AS which let me down the most out of all as if im honest I could have added greater detail and blogged on a more regular basis.
