What I Wanted To 'Achieve'?

I think it goes without saying that with all of this, I wanted to 'achieve' something. Now, the basic answer is an A grade! However, that's not all I was going for.
Whilst yes this is just an A Level project, it all turned into a lot more than that throughout the process. This Media Package became a way of expressing myself, in a much different way than people would usually do so! What I mean is, I actually set out to create something with genuine 'meaning' not just a blank piece of media. Everything I have in my video is there for a reason, it's all there to express my feelings about society in general and the way I feel about the life of those in struggles. As I've shown in my evaluation, there's elements that reflect on my life and elements that reflect on what people see as 'conventional'.

Now, the reason I've stuck to conventions, is that this isn't just for me. I really wanted other people to see what I was trying to express. I didn't just want to have something there for myself to look back on, I wanted to let other people tap into my thoughts and the 'achievement' was that people would understand exactly what is happening in modern life, according to someone who sees it from a different perspective. Now, I'm not going for world peace or anything, but if it just gives one person a little bit of understanding, then I feel like my media has done it's job. It's not just a piece of work, it's a piece of art in its own form. It's a visual expression of everything I know. And that, is what I wanted to achieve.
