On the 6th of March, we went to the the Rich Mix Centre to help us out with our exam that we will be taking in May. In the first part of the conference, we were given tips by Pete Fraser, the chief examiner of OCR A Level Media Studies about methods on how to take notes, how to structure our answers and useful things to include to gain full marks. We also were given the chance to do a few activities in terms of analysing screen shots and practicing taking down notes from a clip. In the second part of the conference, Charlie phillips, the lead editor of the popular TV Drama 'Sherlock' came in and spoke to us about the way he edits the episodes and how challenging it is but fulfilling at the same time. After this, we watched an episode of Sherlock which I thoroughly enjoyed. The framing and editing techniques were amazing and so abstract which was pleasing to the eye. After we had watched the episode of Sherlock, we were then able to ask Charlie any questions that we had about his career, about editing etc.
Overall, I found this trip very useful because even though I know what to do for section A and B, it was good to have it made clearer by the chief examiner himself as I am less worried for the exam now due to picking up a new method of note taking and having figured out new ways to structure my answers in Section A and B.
