Media
For my GCSE media, we had to produce a magazine cover and contents page for a music magazine. This was my first time doing something like this and I personally loved doing it. Overall I got an A* in media which I'm super happy about and it gave me the confidence to then continue media into my A-Levels because I enjoyed the subject.
When I look back at this now I don't like it because I can see what I can do to make it better and how to improve it but when I did it, it was amazing. It was definitely a good experience to do as a result of the research and planning we needed to do for the designing and the photoshoot. |

For my GCSE ICT I had to produce work for an animal shelter this included; a website, logo, web banner, poster, promotional video and spread sheets that would show how the shelter would budget all its money, how they would staff, the daily rota as well as an overview and a breakdown shown in graphs.
A key part of this coursework was to create a logo that would promote the shelter this was my first attempt at making a logo. I chose to do a dogs mouth along with the shelters name on it. We also had to create an animated web banner that could be used on the website as well as advertising. For this I had to do all the animation for the gif and this was the first time I had ever done it so I was pleased with the way it turned out. The website was coded in html which was something definitely and still is something that is out of my comfort zone.With everything I had to make I had to keep to the same house style through out so that everything would be cohesive. I was really happy with my overall outcome of ICT by achieving an A*.

For Music Technology I came out with a Distinction* overall which I was extremely pleased about as music is a huge part of my life as a result of playing the guitar. Aside from producing a studio recording and a live recording of songs we also had to produce a way of promoting the song that we recorded. We work in groups (bands) our group was called Yeah Boi and we did the song riptide, I sang and played the ukulele.
As my way to promote the band, I wanted to use the skills I had in the field of media, film and photography and decided to produce a music video. This wasn't the best thing ever but it was super fun to do and was the first time I had ever done anything like this. |
