Hello everyone!! I'm finally back doing my weekly blogger post. But this time, it for my A-level portfolio project!
There's a couple reasons why I wanted to join A-level media studies. The first reason being I overall enjoy learning about these newly introduced topics. Topics include postmodern techniques, script writing, viewing productions, writing essays and much more. The second reason I wanted to take this class again is to challenge myself. In my past media studies production, I was still very new to the " media studies world". This includes, editing, writing on higher level and professional filming. Due to this, I was not very pleased with the overall outcome of my AS-level portfolio project. So I'm taking this opportunity to redeem myself and overall improve the quality of my work.
With that being said, let's dive into the A-level portfolio project. We have various of options of choose and for the most part, 100% creative freedom. The options include a short film, two trailers for a new film, music video promo and a documentary that is apart of a episodic documentary. I have decided to choose the documentary option and I will be working by myself. I wanted to choose a documentary because I generally enjoyed working with that project that we were given in the beginning of the year and I want to take the critiques that we were given by our classmates and our teacher and apply it to my documentary.
As of February 8th 2026, I gained immense inspiration from the super bowl halftime time performance by Bad Bunny. He has always been an artist that I have listened to and what he decided to do with the 13 minute he was given. For those who don't know, Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican-American artist who has been releasing music for years. He was recently recognized for album of the year for " Debi Tiras Mas fotos". He broke history as it was the first time an all Spanish record won the award ( Freiman, 2026, Para. 5). His super bowl halftime performance highlighted themes of unity, culture and love through cultural traditions and lively music. What really inspired me was at the end of his performance he mentions 25 countries and regions to unify the super bowl performance after so much controversy (The Athletic Staff, 2026, Para. 1). What I wanted to do was a documentary that highlights different cultures each episode. This would include various countries, cultures and traditions.
