Neha Ashok Raj AS Level

In my whole life, I never thought I would be in a position to sit down and do an analysis of my favourite cartoon series. First of all, in order to begin to analyze, I took the simplest, but at the same time the most time-consuming type of media. I might be judged for choosing a kids’ show, but I am still a kid at heart, and I still watch cartoons that I like from time to time. It is almost like a way of keeping my inner child alive and the program I have chosen for my analysis is Paw Patrol. It may be twenty minutes long, or it may not look like much, but the analysis as we know it is a long process, especially for a movie! I don’t know if I can watch cartoons the same way I used to but in a way, this has also helped me learn a skill that I will definitely use in the future.  ANALYSIS Camera Shots & Angles: Wide shots; Close-ups; Tracking shots; Over-the-shoulder shots; Low-angle shots; High-angle shots; Long shot; Medium shot; Medium close shot; Established shot; Aerial Shot;...

My team and I conducted our own research and analyzed the key elements present in each genre. I have put together a spreadsheet that breaks down each genre, covering its common themes, character types, cinematography, sound, mise-en-scène, editing, and a reference movie. I have analyzed seven genres: action, horror, comedy, thriller, sci-fi, romance, and mystery. Starting with action, it typically revolves around themes of injustice or revenge. often leading to chaos or even the potential end of the world. This appeals to audiences as it blends familiar elements with unexpected twists, making the outcome less predictable. Moving on to my favorite—horror. As the name suggests, jump scares and supernatural entities are essential. Though I get scared to death and take ages to recover, I absolutely love the genre—just not enough to watch it alone at night! While the introduction and plot often follow a familiar pattern, what keeps me on edge is the process of confronting the entity—or whe...

 As mentioned in my previous blog, this is a team project, and the team members are Sabari Raj , Akhilesh Kumar , and myself. We all share a similar set of skills, which makes it easy for us to collaborate effectively and work together seamlessly. While this is an advantage, it did make it a bit challenging to assign specific roles and responsibilities. In the end, we decided to share them, ensuring that each of us could contribute to all aspects of the project. I'm handling the post-production work with my teammate, as we can complete the tasks quickly and efficiently. This also gives us the opportunity to contribute more ideas and share our opinions, improving the overall quality of the project. Story writing is something I enjoy, and while I’m not claiming to be a professional, I’m confident in my ability to write scripts for the scenes and bring the story to life. I’m not particularly fond of the lengthy process of handling legal issues, and while I’ve never personally dealt wi...

  For our AS Level project, our team has decided to create a two-minute film opening. With a solid understanding of the chosen project and proper guidance, we feel confident in our approach. As a result, we’ve chosen not to create a magazine cover, as it doesn’t align with our strengths or interests. Instead, we're excited to dive into the world of film and bring our vision to life! Our goal is to create something unique that sets us apart from others in media production. We’re leaning towards a blend of thriller and horror, as we believe this combination will allow us to craft an engaging atmosphere filled with suspense and tension. We’re eager to explore the emotions these genres evoke while adding our own creative spin. Our aim is to leave a lasting impact on our audience with a project that's both distinctive and intriguing. My team and I agreed on this direction because we all share a strong knowledge and enjoyment of these genres. Additionally, we saw it as an opportunity...

Hello, fellow humans! I am your not-so-average-girl named NEHA ASHOK RAJ. I am the kind of person who leaves people’s faces appalled after telling them the subjects I’ve decided to pursue: English, Sociology, Global Perspectives, and Media Studies. It’s surprising how I’ve changed my focus from science to commerce to humanities. I've always wondered what my future career might be. Then, I had an epiphany. Since I was young, I’ve always been intrigued by editing. I still remember the first edit I made using my mother’s phone. At that time, I wanted to become a YouTuber, creating gaming content, especially editing and posting it. Since it was so long ago and I’ve matured (compared to the past), I realized there’s more to editing than I initially thought. Heck, it’s a workout for those who lack patience and tolerance, and that’s something that still tests me to this very day. I am not a professional photographer or videographer, but I guarantee that I’m pretty good at it. My photograp...
