Dear Moderator, My name is Lauren Mason, Candidate Number: 1611 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 hope you enjoy my work and find it both successful and interesting. Please use the navigation bar to access my work as organised into the labels: Preliminary Task, Research and Planning, Filming and Editing, Website Research, Magazine Advert Research, Audience Research and Evaluations. I have also linked the School's blog hub and my other classmates' blogs. Thank you & enjoy,  Lauren Mason
