Evaluation Q7 Prelim

In comparison with my original prelim exercise, I think my understanding and application of media studies skills has grown immensely. For starters, I now know a wide range of specialised vocabulary and terminology, as well as how it can be used both generally on my blog and in exam situations. My practical understanding has increased too; the prelim demonstrated a handful of shot types such as match-on-action and the 180 degree rule, but it was also very simplistic and not as accomplished as later exercises. Perhaps most notably, my increase in confidence in the use of certain technology has meant that I am now able to use editing software to create a video, and subsequently allow this video to be seen on my blog.
