GCSE Media Studies

In our GCSE Media Studies, our coursework project was to create a vlog style of video for a social media influencer or "YouTuber".  This was my first time working with Final Cut Pro X and DSLR cameras as well as a GoPro.  I directed my colleague on how I wanted the camera shots and lighting to be.

We also created a website for this influencer, which included making merchandise:





I also created social media for this character, such as, Twitter, Instagram and a YouTube channel.

Radio Show

In 2019, two colleagues and I had the opportunity to present our own radio show, along with a few other people from our school, on ARA City Radio, a national Luxembourgish radio station and internationally accessible online.  In the beginning, we were on air once a month, but due to positive reception, we were able to get two shows in per month.  Each show is an hour long and we typically discuss current events or play games which involves audience engagement.  Back in 2019, we were pre-recording and editing our shows on the software Audacity, but over time we had the confidence to do live shows and haven't looked back.

A2 Media Studies

Myself and a colleague worked together to create a music video to the song all the good girls go to hell by Billie Eilish in our A2 Media Studies class.  This was the most gratifying and fulfilling experience to see all my hard work in something I'm so proud of.  This is the specific text I reference in question 1. Final Music Video: We worked together to film, direct and edit this video.  To show my personal work, here is the first draft which I edited: Click here to see my blog which includes all of my research and the process to get to the final product. Here is a lyric video I created: To acknowledge the progress of the journey, here is the first ever sample scene: Here are some of my other sample scenes: For our coursework, I also created a Twitter account for this artist.

AS Media Studies

AS Media Studies was the biggest learning curve I faced.  Learning the codes and conventions of film openings and genres was intriguing, yet converting that into our own film opening was more difficult than expected.  The whole journey was challenging but rewarding and aided in my confidence in A2. Final Film Opening: Click here to see my blog which shows my journey of research and application of theories, codes and conventions. We focused on the SFX to create verisimilitude.  Here is some of the makeup I did: This is the first practice production exercise we did in our AS Media Studies class.  We specifically focused on shot types and edited on Final Cut Pro X, which, at this point, I wasn't massively comfortable with.
