Throughout this class, I have developed the skills to identify film languages and interpret the message being portrayed within different types of film. I was also able to learn how to conduct visual interpretations when given a scene's prompt. Therefore, based on my personal interest, I will be choosing FILM for the AS Level Media Studies final project, as I find this more to be my style, having experience with editing and making videos as a content creator.
