Media Coursework Results

Hello guys! Today I bring a quick personal update and some brilliant news.

I am currently studying A Level Media and on Monday our semi-official coursework marks were released to us and I am proud to reveal that I achieved an A* overall!

The coursework consisted of a blog [x] and a music video [x] which we made in October. We could choose any song to use and my group decided on Bastille's song 'Flaws', which they recently (re?)released as a single, so obviously we must of inspired them to make it a hit...

We really worked hard and I think my advice to any other Media student who wants to do well is bulk out your blog with good quality posts and don't worry if you're not confident with your video, it can turn out rubbish and as long as you mention the mistakes you've made then you've justified your work and you've shown the examiner that you can criticise your own work constructively.

We were only on the border of an A* though so I am a little worried that the examiner will lower it slightly and we'll fall back into the A grade boundary. But even an A is more than I could've hoped for!

I also received my mock exam results. Which were not so good, to be honest. I achieved an E in Maths, a D in English Language and Literature and a B in Media. You can see where my talents lie. 

I did enjoy the maths exam though and I'm a little baffled to where I went wrong. I'll be revising profusely over the next few months, I can't afford to get anything less than a B overall, as my offer from Leeds University wants AAB overall. Wish me luck!
