My Closing Post...

Today when me and Charlotte finished our evaluation it suddenly occurred to us that we are finished! It hit us at how quickly everything seems to have gone. We felt quite sad that it's all come to an end after months and months of preparing, filming and editing. We have learnt an incredible amount about many different aspects to do with media and I think we've done pretty well considering we began in September without a clue about anything really. I literally had no knowledge on how to use imovie or how to use any of the camera equipment. I'm proud to say that we're now more or less experts at it...finally!

I now find myself analysing everything I see on TV, for example noticing continuity mistakes and shaky camera shots, it's quite amusing actually. I have loved every second of media, I seem to have found a real passion for it that I never knew I had. We've had so much fun, I'm sure that next year A2 will be just as great, at least next time round we'll go in already having lots of knowledge about how everything works. Hopefully we can improve our skills further and learn even more around the subject, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Here is our Evaluation of our film opening for Special Kate.
