Welcome Back!

        Welcome back to my AICE media studies blog!!! It’s been quite a long time since I’ve last blogged on here. Incase you need a quick refresher. My name is Leonardo but I prefer being called Leo and i’m now a junior! Around March when I was making my schedule for the next school year my teacher recommended that I go into A level for my junior year. Once my teacher explained to me what we’d be doing in A level it was an easy choice to continue doing media studies. Now here we are, 6 months later, ready to come back on this journey. Obviously, a lot has changed since the last time I blogged on here. In May when I last blogged we were around the peak of the pandemic and most places were closed off. Now the pandemic has eased down a little and places have reopened. There’s still regulations we have to follow but filming will be able to commence again so that’ll make the process easier. Having doing AS level last year i’m prepared more than ever to ace this class. 

       Today during online class I found out what our task for the year was going to be. We’ll be making a 5 minute short film and making a whole marketing campaign to go along with it. This excites me since the 5 minute window allows me to expand more in filming and editing than I was able to with the shorter projects from last year. The best part is that I can use my knowledge from last year to help decide how I’ll go along with everything that we’ll be doing this year. Last year I worked with the same two group members the whole year and we worked great together. Due to the pandemic who knows if I’ll work with them again or even work in a group this year, but I’m suited to work by myself now if I have to. I know my strengths when it comes to this class and I know I’ll be able to implement them well whether I’m in a group or solo. I’m super thrilled to be able to explore a marketing side with made a website, social media pages, and a postcard. It’ll be a new process and I can’t wait for this to further and expand my current skills when it comes to media studies. Most importantly, I’m excited to be blogging again and bring you guys back on this journey!
