GCSE media

                                                       GCSE Media Option

I chose GCSE Media Studies because I've already done GCSE photography (B grade) and would like to expand my ability to also editing ad other creative media, and not just taking basic photos. I have also been used for media (e.g. acting or model for images) and would like a chance to express my own ideas.

The particular part of media I look forward to is creating my own music video, as it would be a new experience, and I have many ideas i wish to conduct. 

The main skill I wish to learn from this experience is video editing, as I already can do photo editing and video editing seems like the next step up, I step I am quite excited about learning.

Realistically, I am aiming for at least an A, as it would mean I did better then photography (my main goal). However, I would be overly happy is i did manage an A* by the end of the year.

the last thing I watched was season 3 of Lost, which I think is gripping for people who enjoy mystery and possibly super natural as it constantly laves you thinking and slowly solving puzzles and, with multiple theories to the ending, is something that is constantly causing you to think about it, as I believe a good piece of media should.

In the last 24 hours I have used the television and my phone to access the media; for the news, YouTube and music for entertainment purposes. I would say however, that I use my phone the most to access the media as it is constantly on my person and i use it in my spare time for recreational and educational means.

the game show Pointless, is very engaging for the viewers, as they use humour for entertainment but also ask questions in which the viewers can answer and so feel involved. They use the same host so he becomes a familiar sight to the onlookers and so the feelings of familiarity could be good for people who enjoy the programme, and Alexander Armstrong is a friendly and funny person so is a brilliant host to watch.
