My research and planning skills have improved significantly from my AS media coursework. For my short film, I conducted thorough case studies of similar films like "Mama", "Insidious", and "The Eye" to find narrative structures, editing techniques, and atmospheres to incorporate. My storyboards and script were well-organized with input from classmates. While time management as a group faced some challenges, I ensured my individual tasks were completed on schedule. Overall, my presentation of research and planning has developed through varied use of technologies like blogs and timelines.
