Introduction to AS Foundation Media

Oliver Revill AS Foundation Portfolio

My name is Oliver Revill and I will be studying Media Studies at Tupton Hall School during 2014.
In this post I will be introducing myself and will be reflecting on my interest in Media

Prior to joining Tupton Hall School I had already achieved the grade A at GCSE Media level, the course was primarily focussed on creating a horror trailer, that then got entered into DAFTA Award Ceremony. It was a long process yet extremely fun, I am aware I have much but scratched the surface in the filmmaking business and I have a strong desire to learn more.

Filming and Media has been a very strong interest in mine for a couple of years now being extremely fond of watching and critiquing many of them, I then had my personal aspiration to create a film. I would eventually like to pursue a career in the film business whether that means being a filmmaker or for a production company.

As an avid film watcher, I especially like films such from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and Sucker punch to American History X and Memento - however my all time favourite film would be American Beauty.
TV series' are also a strong love of mine as an intensely embarrassing fan of Game of Thrones, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Sherlock and Luther.

I am extremely interested in the majority of contemporary media sources such as; Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit.

The task I will be doing on this course to produce the first 3 minutes to a thriller film, I will do a lot of research and try to create the best possible opening.

I look forward to produce this film and hopefully succeed in this task.
