Welcome back to the blog! 2020 A Level edition!

I only have one semester left until I graduate! Since my last post, I have moved on to A level media studies, a class that really seemed like a challenge, but one that I was very excited to face. I was scared about a few different things going into the A level class. Knowing this was a more serious class that I would have to prioritize, I was skeptical about how prepared I was for this. I had heard about many of the projects that are assigned in the class, and I had a moment of intimidation where I asked myself, "Am I capable of doing this?" 

In the last semester, I have realized that I am more capable of putting pieces of work together than I thought. 

There were a few differences that I found between AS and A level. I find that every lesson taught in AS level set the foundation for projects that we have been assigned in A level.  AS level projects are the training wheels for A level projects. An example of this was our marketing project. In AS level our music industry project focused on making a marketing campaign for a made up artist. Through experience gained in this project, I was able to help make a marketing campaign for the city of weston census in A level. Another project that serves as an example is my film opening. Having made that, I now have the experience on and off the set to put together a five minute film and advertise it for my final project. Having had restrictions on most of the projects we did last year, I really enjoy that we are given so much creative freedom. Although coming up with ideas can be hard for me sometimes, it is helpful that I can choose which way to go with my projects rather than having to adjust to it like I did in A level. 

This is one of the classes that I have enjoyed the most in high school. It has taught me so much and I am very excited to finish the rest of the year in A level strong.
