You should make a habit of blogging.
- An A grade students typically completes 70+ blog posts and shows the journey from inception to completion.
- A C grade student does around 50+, and so on. . .
When you complete an exercise in Media, the model student will go on their blog and talk about how it will help them. Typically, they may start with "Today in class we looked at . . . " to put the blog into context, then they will talk about how they hope it will help them.
Here's an example of a student using BlogSpot (part of a group of 2) that I taught a couple of years ago. She got straight A's in Media. http://astleyemmaasmedia.blogspot.co.uk/ she also did the whole coursework from start to finish in 13 weeks.
If you need some guideposts on other things you can be doing for your film opening, then I suggest you look here http://www.alevelmedia.co.uk/page27.php It is especially useful for those students who need to consider genre and what type of film they like before embarking on an idea.
