- HOW you DEVELOPED








Research and Planning Essay

In your experience how has your research and planning developed through creating your products?

Throughout my AS and A2 media studies I have done a lot of research and planning for each of my final product. This has developed a lot over the years because it is such an important piece of the course and took up a lot of time. 

In my AS prelim the research and planning behind that wasn't very difficult because we only had to copy another film opening. However, we did a bit of research and planning this got us used to doing it for our main film opening. We had to research the opening for Juno and plan how we were going to re make this. We planned this by deciding who was going to be Juno and who would film. We also planned by making a shooting schedule this told us where we would film and when. This made sure we had go all the shots ready to edit into the film opening. 

In my AS film opening the research and planning was most of the task. This made me develop further into the research and planning stage.
