Media Studies is very different to G.C.S.E Media, Media studies is a complex way of analysing a number of things such as magazines and films. If i started AS Media again i would really get to know what the topics are about., and also do a lot more research on films. If i did this it would have given me more of an in-sight into the Media industry.
My advice to the first years, when doing your course work take time in planning and make sure you do a lot of research in order, that u know what you are doing. When making your film make sure you chose a group that's reliable and that puts the same amount of work in as you do. You will find it hard without people working with you as you will need to do camera work and also editing on such a short time.
Another bit of advice when starting to do your filming, give your tap either to the teacher so you know it will be with you every time you want to film, or give it to someone who is reliable and you can trust to remember it. One tip when filming make sure your lighting is okay as sometime on camera it may seem darker than it is. Another, major problem may be the music matching up with the filming, you have to be careful when selecting certain music just to make sure it actually links in and people understand it. Last but not lest, when filming makes sure you film loads of clips, because when you come to edit you will find your film get shorter and shorter and you will have to fill up the space in order to get the timing right.
Good luck in your first year wish you all the best
