Analysis of past essays

In our last lesson we had time to read examples of past essay questions and answers. We had to read through what strengths they had and what they could improve on. This helped me get a better idea of the types of questions that i will get in the exam and how we can answer them as i have never had a media exam before due to not taking media at GCSE. We then had to wright down what we think we can improve on and what we are already comfortable with. I feel most comfortable with mise-en-scene and different camera angles as i can pick up on them the easiest whilst watching a clip. I find that i can write the most about them. However, I feel like i need to use more media appropriate language as i tend to use simplistic language as i have only just started media and need to get used to the specific languange. I also feel i need to improve on editing as i can never find much to write about it, i need to think about the different kinds of editing and how things such as the shot length can present different things.
