This is the Music Video I produced this year for my A2 Media Studies coursework.
The song that was used is Linkin Park's What I've Done

I created These two pieces of Flash Animation for a speech I had to make for my Computing class.

I created this presentation in my ICT applied course, its a part of my coursework, it was included in a presentation which talked about the Marketing Mix (4 P's). As this is a video the next button doesn't work although if you click here, you'll be able to see an interactive version which I host on my Dropbox account.

(due to this being converted to a video, the quality is poor compared to that of the version the link above directs you to.)

This is a Flickr stream of awards that I have won throughout my education.

This year for my A2 Media Studies I was set the task of producing a music video. When the task was set we were told that we could create anything that we wanted to as long as the video we wanted to create was realistic and didn't break any laws or push the limit on boundaries, which included sexuality, nudity, drinking, drugs, etc.

We had to research and plan; the type of music genre, artists within the genre, the music videos, their conventions of the genre and the artist, whether we wanted to break any or follow any conventions of the artist and genre.

Also all of the equipment we used such as props (posters, guitars, drums) cameras, tripods, etc had to be arranged for use by ourselves, with the exception of a camera and tripod on the occasion that we didn't have any access to one, otherwise, whatever we decided we wanted to use in our music video we had to gain access to.

This is a Teaser Trailer which I released prior to the completion and release of the final version of the Music Video, It was created as a advert to help create interest in our music video

As well as producing a music video we had to create a Digipak and a advert/poster, although we worked as a team to create the music video, we worked individually to create the Digipak and the advert/poster.
also to help to get some recognition and keep up the act of being a professional band I set up a Twitter  account name after the band member which I performed as in the video, also I set up a domain name (www.hwsera.tk) and routed it to our group blog where all of our work is uploaded

For my AS Media Studies coursework, I was set a task of either creating a opening sequence to a film of our creation or to create a front cover, a contents page and a two page spread for a music magazine of our creation.

I chose to create a two and a half minute opening sequence to a film, I worked together with my friend Damon Coates.

The film could be about what ever we liked, although the only rules we had was to not show anything of a sexual nature or any use of drugs, although we were allowed to suggest to the audience the use of drugs.

This is a video that I produced for my AS Media Studies coursework.
It is an opening two and a half minutes to a film. We had to create our own storyline as the film had to be original.

I have taken a unit in Project Management as part of my A2 level ICT. This will help me when I study Digital Media Production because in my Project Management unit I learnt how to do risk assessments, improve my time management by using gantt charts and time plans. I also learnt how to produce contingency plans, agendas and meeting notes, using apologies, minutes and targets.
