Media lesson - 09/09/2011

The lesson today was more of a taster introduction to the course that we are going to be doing, a basic start to the AS Level of Media.

First we were given the sheet to show us how the lessons would be planned out and some of the expectations in terms of time frames for the things we would have to do in the lessons to follow. I now know alot of the tasks ahead of me and can plan my time both inside and out of the lesson accordingly.

After this we learned some of the theory behind media and some detail behind film. We covered nearly all of the camera angles that we are (hopefully) going to use in all of the practical films we create. Most of them I had heard of before but was interested in the one I hadn't used or heard of in the past.

In the lesson before we had learned alot about different genres of films and had taken notes about them. A list of genres is as follows:

Romance

Comedy

Zombie

RomCom

RomComZom

Horror

Thriller

Fantasy

Sci-fi

Western

Fiction

Slasher (such as scream)

Anime

Musical

Documentary

Gangster

I had not heard of some of these. In today's lesson we summarised everything we had learned in the lesson before and the lesson today.
