As part of our preliminary task, we were asked to work in groups of four to create a short film/film opening with a script, with any genre of our group’s choosing! Concepts were told to be entirely original, and above are the inspo photos for our group’s horror short film, Dear Diary!
Script #1 – Dear Diary (Mystery) Group members: Saachi, Chloe, Amatullah, Emaan Idea The protagonist discovers an old notebook in an abandoned classroom. As they turn the pages, they find strange drawings, scribbles, and messages. A second character briefly appears behind them but disappears when noticed.

Media has always grabbed my attention—whether it’s a film, an advert, or even a simple post online, there’s always another message waiting to be interpreted. That’s what excites me about studying Media Studies at AS Level—it gives me the chance to explore how these messages are created and why they matter. My name is Saachi, and this blog is where I’ll share my journey as an AS Media student. I’ll be posting my ideas, experiments, and progress as I work through my Foundation Portfolio, including the challenges (and probably a few mistakes) along the way. For me, media isn’t just entertainment—it’s a way of telling stories, sparking conversations, and shaping the way we see the world. Thanks for visiting my blog— stay tuned for what me and my team have in store!
