Aight, it's been fun.

I wish Group 32 could do it all again.

For now, though...

Goodbye.

Signing off - Esther Potter

This project has been a unique experience, both in terms of the actual media elements and producing a two minute film opening, and in meeting a great group of people with whom I will remain friends for ages! 

Thank you to them, and to the whole media department (especially Louisa)

Signing off

Throughout this entire process the people that have always had my back were Callum, Esther and Jan (my group) they were the best group i could hope for and i hope we remain friends for a very long time. To my group, i hope you guys go on to do great things and enjoy life to the fullest because you never know what will come knocking on your door. Below is a poem i dedicate to the blog

It's been a long day, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place
How can we not talk about family 
when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you 
were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for 
the last ride
It's been a long day 
without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about
 it when I see you again 
We've come a long way 
from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about 
it when I see you again
First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship
A friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broken
The love will never get lost 
(and the love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take, will
always lead you home, home
It's been a long day without you, 
my friend
And I'll tell you all about it 
when I see you again
We've come a long way from
 where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it 
when I see you again
When I see you again

Callum CC - Signing Off

To whom it may be concerned,

I am writing this blog post in order to, firstly, reveal that this is the end of my journey in terms of this part of coursework, and secondly, to convey my feelings having finished this project.

Pride is a feeling that comes to mind when thinking about what I've done over the past few months, and the fact that I actually showed my mam my piece of work reinforces this. She was happy and proud with it, and therefore I am happy and proud with it.

Gratitude is an emotion I also feel now I've finished this blog - I'm very thankful for my group (they were definitely the best group of people I could've got, even if Jan is a bit too much of a perfectionist, Faris is very hyperactive and Esther is a protestant).  Also Louis (aka Louisa Cunningham) was great with us and so I'm grateful for her.

Finally, I'd like to say the fact that at the start of this year, I was dead certain I was dropping Media after AS, and now am a lot less sure surely shows how much I have enjoyed this project. Thanks to everyone. God Bless. Safe.

Question 3: What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?

Question 2 - How does your product represent particular social groups?

Question 2: How does your media product represent particular social groups?

This side angle shows the main character doing something intriguing and mysterious - holding a candle in a basement - and so immediately grabs the audience's attention. Her clothing, dark, shades her personality as troubled.

 Here, we see the character's feminine and vulnerable side. She is holding her handbag to her chest, making herself physically small as possible.

The antagonist's personality is best encapsulated in this shot. Eyes wild, face covered, dark clothing, large figure - all create a domineering and intimidating screen presence, showing his aggression and angry disposition.
