Introduction

On the first day of class, I rocked up and discovered I was the only A2 student planning to take Media Studies. Naturally, this made me a little nervous. After taking a while to mull over the idea of this after class, some obvious questions popped up; how was I meant to run the camera, sound, lighting, etc. in my films single-handedly? Would I get enough teacher time (my Media teacher co. teaches the rather large AS class simultaneously). On top of this, after completing AS Media Studies, I discovered I struggled with software editing. To overcome the obstacle of learning how to manipulate new software, I had sought tutoring from another member of my AS Media class, who was well experienced with the technology and helped me to grasp the ropes. This year however, I know I will have to gain the skills of editing via other, possible more challenging  methods.To lay all my cards on the table, I was second guessing my desicion of taking  A2 Media. 

 However after consulting with both my school Principal and my Media teacher, I discovered the A2 syllabus filming can easily be accomplishedindividually. I was told I may request help with the filming processes. Furthermore, the genre of creating a music video, which I have taken a liking to, does not require recording sound, which takes one big legistic of filmimg away. Moreover, taking full responsibility for the filming decisions rather than cooperating as a team, means that I have a wider creative scope to expresses my individuality and chose whichever music genre I believe I can accomplish the best. All in all I am well enthused for Media Studies this year, I am willing to give it my all, and  I am ready for an challenges it may through my way.
