Conclusion
The introduction that I have created allowed me to gain a better understaning of what thrillers are and also the introduction allowed me to have a better understanding of what to expect when creating my portfilo for AS Media Studies. I have learnt some basic terms and now understand what they actually mean and how these key points would help me when i create my own thriller production. 
I think that the most important part of Media Studies is to keep course work up to date. I believe that if I'm up to date with deadline I can achieve all of the course work requirements set.
