The first real taste I had of studying Media only came in College, though before this I'd always been interested in making short videos using my mobile phone, and taking and editing photographs of my friends and family. At college I began to study Media as one of my four options, and it quickly became my favourite subject. Whilst at College I was involved in filming short dramatic trailers, creating mock magazine covers and posters, and researching into the history of film and television. I visited Berlin with the media department to visit various Media industries in Germany, and look at how they had evolved from the Nazi propaganda of the 2nd World War, into their current state.
I enjoy a vast range of programming on television, ranging from Downton Abbey to Made In Chelsea, and am really excited at the prospect of working behind the scenes of such formats in my career.
I also enjoy listening to different radio programmes, many from BBC Radio 1, but also local radio stations such as Juice FM and WISH FM, to listen to popular music within my area and listen to the Wigan Athletic Football commentary. Because of this interest in listening to the programmes, I've developed an interest into how such programmes are produced and researched.
Choosing to study Media at College gave me a new and exciting route for my future career path, and after receiving an A at A-level, I was accepted onto the Media Professional Studies course I am studying today.
After my first year, I came to the realisation that my strength's lay in the research and development stages of a piece of work. I enjoy the mixture of theoretical and practical work that the course has involved, but I found that the module I enjoyed most last year was Introduction to Research. My strongest work came when I researched different pieces of work and ideas for filming.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and look forward to any feedback!
