As Media studies blog- Jess Travers
Hello, my name is Jess Travers and I am an AS Media Student at Parkstone Grammar School. My partner is Katie Johnson and the link to her blog is www.katiej587.wix.com/asmediablog. We are working together to create a 2 minute opening to a film- genre of our choosing- along with a blog accounting all our process.
I chose to do media studies in order to maximise my creative ability and challenge my individuality. I have developed many of my skills including time management and patience. Unfortunately Katie and I have encountered many problems, with some of the filming not going our way, but we are successfully creating our 2 minute opening. Hopefully this blog can clearly show the individual processes Katie and I went through in order to produce our end project.
