Dear Moderator, My name is Kathryn Thornton, Candidate 1620, and welcome to my OCR A2 Media Studies blog. This is a record of the work undertaken as part of the G325 A2 Advanced Portfolio within the OCR GCS course in Media Studies. I worked independently to produce a short film in the Drama genre. The project lasted six months, commencing in September 2017 and finishing in March 2018. I hope you enjoy my work and find it both successful and interesting. Please use the navigation bar to access my work as organised into labels; Ancillary Tasks, Audience Research, Evaluation, Filming, Preliminary Task, Research and Planing, Short Film, Storyboarding and Trips. There is also a link to the School's blog hub and my other classmates' blogs. Thank you Kathryn Thornton

We had a guided tour of the house, however, it took us a while to realise that the whole tour was a performance and was telling us about views on gender equality as well as telling the story of Orlando, based of Virginia Woolf's novel. The tour was based on a scientific investigation, where the forensic scientists were trying to de-contaminate the site in order to find out clues into Orlando's disappearance and also. work out the space-time continuum. On the tour we met, Greek Gods, Shakespearean actors, Georgian scientists, Vita Sackville-west and eventually Virginia Woolf herself. After lunch we had a lecture which gave us more information on views on Gender Equality in the past, and we found this session very informative. Lastly, we watched the film of Orlando, based on Virginia Woolf's novel, which was very en
