Review of my AS level What went well in my AS Media? In my AS Media i thought that my main production and pre production went well as it was relatively easy for me to design images and covers that i needed for the coursework. Photoshop was quite easy for me to use as i have used photoshop in the past and I'm quite good at using the software. Even better If in my AS Media? For my exam if i had a better understanding of the key terms and meaning of the key terms as this may have helped me do better in my work. Targets for my A2 Media Studies work! - My target would be to learn key terms and to have a better understanding of what they actual mean and relate to - Spend more time on my main production and less time on my actual main production.
