Introduction to Media

-

 1)  When i first studied media during year 9-10 i found the subject itself to be interesting. It changed my perspective on the media around me and its purposes.

2) I took media studies at Greenford.

3) The grade i got was a 5 and I created a TV sci fi drama. My greatest weakness would have to be my writing speed while my greatest strength would have to seeing different perspectives from people in media.

4)  I hope to achieve either a 6 or 7.

5) I plan to get an apprenticeship but i'm not entirely certain about this or university.

6) Covid-19 would be the biggest media story since it effected everyone around the world.

7) I use Twitter, Youtube and the TV (Good morning Britain) to find out about the world and its current affairs.

8) Last film i watched was Monster house.

9)  My favourite series would have to be Avatar the last air bender.

10) I probably spend at least 4-5 hours online. This is probably enough time spent on it because of the Internets accessibility and advantages it grants people that use it. It makes a lot of things easier like gaining information on a topic to communicating online to spread your own perspectives on certain things. Its become so useful that its been embedded into every day life.

Protecting under 18s: To ensure that the youth aren't influenced wrongly by the media. Harm and offense: Nobody should be condoning horrific acts of violence to people 4) I dont agree with OFCOM that channel 4 was wrong to broadcast Wolverine at 6:55 as I believe the film was mostly all flash and no substance. The violence within the film was mostly only impressionistic but had some scenes graphic content. 5) 5 sections from the old p
