Introduction: Jamul Wilson

Hi my name is Jamul Wilson

I've been studying Sociology, Media and Product Design in AS and continuing with it for A2. In addition I have made a film awareness with my group which was for the BCCS about children who are in trouble such as bullying, have family issues or common struggles while they are on the streets. I was able to start using MAGIX movie editing and enhanced my knowledge and skills on this platform. 

Through my AS Media I have made a magazine cover promoting the music genre Hip-Hop/Rap, through the process of constructing this magazine I was able to develop skills within computer software such as ADOBE CS4 InDesign and Photoshop. This will come in had for A2 when my group and I are designing a poster to promote our film. If you want to you can see my work on the blog. http://jaywilson1996.blogspot.co.uk/

My sociological theories about media itself can relate to the production of our movie for example moral panic from Stanley Cohen as well as the stereotypes about age, ethnicity, disability, social class, nationality, and religion. These stereotypes can be used during our movie so that the protagonist and the antagonist can relate more to their age, ethnic identity, social class or nationality. 

Through A2 I'm going to working with my group to make a film for Crystal Peak productions and all the knowledge that I have achieved through out MAGIX movie editing, Adobe InDesign and Photoshop will be applied to come out with a positive outcome.
Thank You for reading Jamul Wilson 

Introduction: Rory D. Felix

Greetings, I'm Rory Felix and i'm one of the three members of Crystal Peak Productions. I've done media AS and previously done a BTEC in Yr10-Yr11. Media is something I enjoyed and feel I do relatively well in which was the main reason I continued into AS and A2. I have also used Photoshop, MAGIX Movie edit,  Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects which I feel I can contribute my knowledge of these towards my group.

In my younger years during BTEC we had to make a trailer/teaser which is similar towards A2 however this requires more detail. Since I've done something familiar towards this task I feel more confident and able to support my team even more.

During AS we made a blog and a music magazine cover, contents and double page spread of a genre of our choice. This required Photoshop and the use of Blogger which are skills that will come in handy.

Furthermore not to long ago we done a film awareness for the BCCS charity. This required us to arrange a cast for filming and edit our footage on MAGIX Movie edit. This was also a group task and coincidentally I was working with the same group in Crystal Peak Productions.

I thank you for reading about myself and I hope you check out my team along with the content we post.

Introduction: Danielle Edwards

My name is Danielle Edwards I am a Media student. I really enjoy studying and learning about media for the past year.

In the summer I participated in a cinematography class at 'Ravensbourne' where I worked with real 'Hollywood' movie cameras where I used and learned new camera techniques to help with movement, angles and lighting. And at the end showcasing my work to my peers. I also took part in making a charity video for the BCCS where I took part in  highlighting the victims of fear, bullying and neglect. It was really fun working with the editing of the production bringing it all together. It was also nice knowing that this video could help someone in the future who could be going through the same thing. 

Last year for AS, I created a Hip Hop magazine for my coursework I did everything myself from the  photo shoot to the evaluation click here to see my blog - here's the link to my last year magazine. I think I have come a long way last year, with my skills of camera work and with Adobe Photoshop so I think this year I will do much better when it comes to making my trailer and poster. 

In drama I also use my Media skills to help create leaflets and posters for the plays we preform for example: 'when the rain stops falling' and 'the machinal' I also help with the lighting and the sound tracks being played in the background . Also doing drama helps my media skills because I get to put my skills to work outside of the classroom when doing different activities.
