Final Closing Post

As this is my first year studying media I have learnt a lot in terms of media terminology. I've also been able to develop my technical skills in filming and editing. prior to studying media I didn't realise how many aspects are consider when creating a media product in order to make it successful until we went through the micro and macro elements of certain scenes and that is when I was able to spot how every single thing within the scene has a purpose and by doing some research I was able to find out the importance of everything within the scene from props to lighting. whilst studying media I also found out that the things we find to be minor and barely pay attention to has had a lot of work and thought for it to feature there for example the credits and the billing orders, it may seem like a list which has been thrown in but I've learnt it has a structure and the billing orders are important especially when trying to attract an audience. what I've enjoyed the most about media this year is looking at films title sequences and drawing out meaning from them especially because I don't usually pay attention to title sequences but now when I see them i look at certain aspects to see how effective it is and I now appreciate the effort that goes in to make them. i have also enjoyed finding out about enigma codes because it is interesting to see how the directors and editors think is best to capture the audiences attention. most of all I enjoyed creating the title sequence because we had a clear vision in mind once the script was written, the filming itself was enjoyable to see a plan coming together and we were able to test out new techniques when it comes to filming so it was very beneficial.
