WEEKLY PROGRESS

RECORD OF MY PROGRESS IN MEDIA STUDIES WEEKLY

Week 3

On Monday, I learned about camera angles, their names, movements, and how they affect the audience. We had a task to create a small video project using these camera movements.

Thursday was a break, a holiday to relax and recharge.

On Friday, we analyzed advertisements to understand the languages they use and uncover their meanings and intentions.

Week 4

Monday introduced me to Mise-En-Scene in movies. I practiced analyzing this in various short movie scenes, improving my media studies skills.

Thursday involved a deep dive into Mise-En-Scene in different movie scenes, enhancing my ability to conduct thorough analyses. Unfortunately, I was absent on this day.

Friday kicked off a new project called "My Target Audience," where we created storyboards for advertisements, allowing room for creativity.

Week 5

Monday continued our exploration into sound in media, including its language, with an analysis of movie scenes.

Thursday was a break in honor of Independence Day in my country.

Friday introduced us to the art of storyboard creation through practical exercises, improving our skills.

Week 6

Monday was an enlightening day as we explored the editing language, discovering new terms and concepts that corrected my previous misconceptions.

Thursday featured a video analysis of a scene from "A Quiet Place," highlighting how technical elements like camera angles, movements, sound, and editing supported the scene's themes and ideas.

Friday involved finalizing our proposals and creating storyboards for our advertisements, providing valuable practice. Unfortunately, I was absent this day.

Week 7

Monday included a comprehensive review of camera angles and movements, along with the analysis of clips from the movie "Agent Carter," strengthening our grasp of these critical elements.

Thursday featured a test on camera angles and movements, followed by time dedicated to completing pending assignments, including our proposals and rough or final storyboards.

Friday began with organizing a to-do list and completing tasks. I worked on finishing my rough storyboard and planned to start the final version.

Week 8

Monday brought the satisfaction of checking our scores for unit test 1, where I achieved a very desirable score. We then wrapped up our storyboard work and began a new project called 'Critical Self Reflection.'

Thursday was a continuation of our work from Monday, where I initially started my Critical Self Reflection on a Word document rather than immediately creating slides.

Friday was a good day overall.

Week 9

During this week, I achieved several important milestones:

First, I completed my final storyboard and critical self-reflection, despite facing challenges with the application I used for the storyboard, which delayed my project submission.

Second, I expanded my knowledge by learning about four media theories: the Hypodermic Needle theory, Two-Step Flow theory, Desensitization (compassion fatigue), and social learning. These theories equipped me with valuable insights to address future questions on the test more deeply.
