AS Coursework Reflection

Within my first year at college I was asked to create certain parts of a magazine for my coursework. I was asked to create a front cover, a contents page and a double page spread. So as you can guess this above is my final pieces of that coursework. I got a E grade in my coursework, so I was not only disappointed with the grade, but how my final products finished. I found photoshop really difficult to use and adapt to last year and this is proven in the pictures above. So since this year the coursework is more broad and open, I had the option of not doing a magazine, thus using photoshop, so I am now doing a trailer instead. What I will do this year compare to last year is spend more time on the coursework, and more time on the final product and make sure my final trailer is edited well so this will give me a higher grade going into the exam therefore giving me a better chance of passing Media Studies. Although I will be using photoshop this year to create my film poster, so my aim this year is to drastically improve on my work from last year, I will do this by spending more time on photoshop, in class time and my own time.
