AS Media Studies - Summer Assignment

Over the summer holidays, I'd like you to start looking at film openings more critically. Visit www.artofthetitle.com and examine how they have broken title sequences down into 9 key shots. Task: I would like you to do the same for a film of your choice, taking 9 screen grabs and evaluating why you chose it and what you like/enjoy about the sequence from a critical perspective. Secondly, I would like you to set up your own blog. Either create one of blogspot (www.blogger.com), or use tubmlr, www.posterous.com or www.wix.com. The blogs should relate to media and AS or coursework and include a video blog, by you, or a voki outlining your expectations of the course. Lastly, you should visit http://www.alevelmedia.co.uk/page25.php and revise the key media concepts, these will be part of your foundations for media language.
