It’s a great feeling to finally start noticing ties between my contextual studies unit and Media 1, to see things coming together a little. The vocabulary that I am currently learning from my Cinema readings and notes I am compiling, allows me to explain myself in a far more coherent fashion, especially in relation to editing and what is being presented, and why, in the shot. Though its only been a few weeks, when I look back on text relating to my first couple of briefs I now find I now have a (somewhat) developed language to talk about the work, which really excites me. It’s awesome to see progress, and I think it will help me to be a lot less hard on myself as I can now see that I am improving.
