This is my weekly progress for the advert project

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 1 :☆ﾟ. ───

During the first week of Media Studies subject, we were explained about the overview of the syllabus for the year. This will give us direction and clear idea on what we will learn and practice for the upcoming exams later.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 2 :☆ﾟ. ───

In the second week of Media Studies subject, we were introduced to camera angles and camera movements. By learning this, it will allow me to understand better on how camera angles and movements can add a lot of meaning to a scene or changing the audience's perspective of the scene. Furthermore, we learned about target audience which includes demographic and psychographic. This will help me to identify my target audience specifically for my final storyboard advert.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 3 :☆ﾟ. ───

During week three of Media Studies subject, we analysed advertisements (4 small 1 big). The contents that we need to analyse includes: the overview of the advert, target audience, message & purpose, meaning & interpretation, effectiveness and personal response. By doing this practice, it'll help me gain inspiration for my final storyboard project. Other than that, we are also assigned a mini project by making a short scene implementing camera angles and movements with a partner. Me and my partner collaborate and synergise together starting from planning, recording, editing, publishing and analysing. 

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 4 :☆ﾟ. ───

In the fourth week of Media Studies subject, we were introduced to a new technical element called mise-en-scene. It is the arrangement and design of visual elements within a frame of a scene. This knowledge can help to communicate meaning of my advert effectively to the audience. Another thing that we did was starting to create a specific target audience for our project.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 5 :☆ﾟ. ───

During week five of Media Studies Subject, we were introduced to another new technical element namely sound, which includes diegetic (sound that happens within the world that characters can experience) and non-diegetic (sound that only the audience can hear). Besides that, we were introduced to storyboard, how to layout and draw them, as well as practice making our own storyboard based on our mini project.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 6 :☆ﾟ. ───

In the sixth week of Media Studies subject, we practiced section A of the exam, in which is to analyse the big ideas and technical elements from the opening scene of 'A Quiet Place'). The answers of our practice is given a time limit and will be checked by the teacher. Although my score was quite alright, there are still things I need to improve from the comments suggested by the teacher (to analyse further). Besides that, my proposal of the storyboard project is approved by the teacher so that I can continue making the draft.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 7 :☆ﾟ. ───

During week seven of Media Studies subject, we did a video analysis practice as a class (Opening of 'Agent Carter'). Other than that, unit test regarding camera angles and movements were given to the class (In which I got a satisfying score). I also tried to finish and get my storyboard draft approved by the teacher. 

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 8 :☆ﾟ. ───

During week eight of Media Studies subject we are introduced and starting on critical self-reflection, I like that I can expand my creativity through a presentation instead of a writing essay. However, I need to come up with long and big words to express my writing better for the final self-reflection presentation. To add, I started doing my final storyboard, it was enjoyable making the templates and starting on the sketch, but I need to manage my time better to do it faster so that I can finish the final storyboard on time.

 ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: Week 9 & 10 :☆ﾟ. ───

In the ninth and tenth week of Media Studies subject, I tried to finish everything for my blog which includes: brief, weekly plan, research, target audience, practice storyboard, mini project, proposal, 1st draft storyboard, self-reflection and final storyboard (with mini self-reflection for each post). I need to manage my time more in finishing and fulfilling all the criteria needed.
