Introduction to my A-level media blog

 Hello, I have now finished my AS-level media coursework and have moved on to the A-level coursework syllabus now. Over the summer I have been forecasting and brainstorming ideas and plans for this year's coursework; out of all the options I have for this year's coursework, I have decided to choose the documentary. I feel that with the documentary I can pose an issue or topic which is personal to me and can express awareness of this subject.

This is the sort of style of establishing shot that I would wish to create. I believe it really creates a sense of calm among the audience. ...
