This document introduces an AS Media Studies course, outlining coursework requirements and setting a summer project. Students will create a horror film opening and blog posts, and 50% of their grade will come from coursework and 50% from an exam. The document discusses conventions of film openings, provides an example from a previous student, and instructs students to set up a blog. It then lists "Top 10 horror shots" as a starting point for students' horror film openings and allows time for students to practice recreating the shots.
