Introduction to my A-level media blog

I also feel as if some of my interviews didn't really correlate to my topic as much as I would like them to have. What have I learned/ what will I do in my final task differently? In my final draft, I will continue the idea of...

Establishing shot draft

Today I filmed some draft footage for my main task, I really like the shot that I took and I believe it will work really well in my documentary. However, this is only a draft so I plan to do a lot more establishing shots.
