A reflection on my AS year.

What were my strengths on my AS?

•        I am content with my AS coursework, and I believe it went very well, as it was dynamic sustained and very creative. We represented everything we had hoped to achieve with a great end result. My choice of group were very operative in working as a team as we all formally met up to discuss our decisions and assign roles within each other making sure everything was up to date and effective in all departments of criteria needed to perfect our project.

•          A strength outlined throughout the course was my sense of variety and creativity. I was intent on making my project  different to others, from the creativity of my blog to the filming and editing of my film opening, using different platforms to present my work.  My work was presented as organized, showing that I took my time to consider different ways I could present my work.

•          In terms of what went well for me I was very pleased with my in depth research, whether it was looking at other blogs or products relating to our opening, I always made time to research thoroughly in order to improve our product.  We wanted to explore everything fully so that we could meet all criteria and form our own ideas about the project. Doing this helped me understand our task fully.

What could I have improved on?

•         For improvement I believe I could have added more blog posts in all criteria. Research and Planning, Production and Pre-Production. Doing this would have made visible the exact steps we took to make our film possible. I should have recorded meetings to show the decisions and suggestions made by each person in thorough detail, to reveal why we did certain things and changed ideas to result in our final product.

•          I wish I had taken time with some posts and used time effectively rather than doing fifty things at once. This was because at some points some were doing more than others, we had co-operation issues and even found dealing with other subjects difficult however hopefully with time taken into consideration and me taking on this project by myself I will be able to complete a time-table in when I can spend a thorough amount of time on this subject to ensure I do widely better than the year before.

Three targets for my A2 course:

•         For this A2 year I hope to keep on time with deadlines and schedule what needs to be done and do this to the highest quality no matter how long it will take.

• I would like to document all my decisions and why I chose to make them and show a visual change of my original idea to my current idea.

•          I also would like to create a sustained blog and excellent final project to reflect the time and effort taken to go into the year.
