About myself, and why i chose media

my name is abbie garland and i am a student at Chew Valley Sith form in year 12. i have chosen to study media for a few reasons. i started studying it at GCSE and really enjoyed the subject. i foud the aspects that we studied such as the popular press and film analysis interesting to write about and to discuss in class. i enjoy to watch films and read magazines in my freetime, and since learning about these materials i have started to look at them in a different, more analytical way.

I am not yet too sure what i would like to do with my future, but studying jurnalism at university has caught my eye. i have always liked english lessons and enjoy to write. i feel that media studies would really help with my understanding and knoledge of all the different aspects within jurnalism.

The aspects of 'the media' that most interest me would probably have to be the internet and film, as well as magazines. i spend alot of time on social networking sites such as facebook, like many of my peers do. I have always enjoyed watching all different types of film, things like big blockbusters, to small indie films. my preferable genre would probably have to be either comedy or thriller/mystery.
The types of magazines i read are mostly woman orientated, things such as 'Cosmopoiltan' and 'Heat Magazine' although i do sometimes read 'NME'.

I dont usually read the newspaper unless there is a featured article that takes my interest. i thing this is a bad quality in myself as newspapers keep people up to date with important things going on in our society so i would like to start ready the newspaper at least once a week.
