Critical Perspectives in Media

In class, we had begun to anaylse and evalaute the process that I had made while I was transitioning from AS to A2. I had describe and evaluate my skills development over the course of our production work, from Foundation to Advanced Portfolio. The focus of this must be on skills development, and the questions will require us to adapt this to one or two specific product practises. The list of practises to which questions will relate as it follows:

Section 1

• Digital technology
• Creativity
• Reasearch and Planning
• Post Producation
• Using conventions from media texts

Using conventions of real media texts

In my own project, I had created Mis-En-Scene that included different colour dress codes which had consisted of white and black coloured clothes. These colours had gave different representations to imply the characteristics of our characters, whether they were good or bad characters. This implies that these characters are polar opposites and that there will be a sense of good verses evil in our thriller.
