I chose media studies as a GCSE because I would like to learn about how films, television, radio, magazines are made, specifically film & television. I feel very strongly and am interested in movies and things to do with them like; cinematography, soundtracks. I also chose it because I would like to learn how media influences people since I am highly impacted by media.
This type of subject requires some sort of creativity which I think I have - I think this can help me get good grades in this topic. I am also looking forward to using the equipment like cameras and apple macs to edit the footage with.
I would recommend the Harry Potter movie series although the books maybe better that should be no reason not to watch these enchanting films. As well as the captivating plot every thing else about them is near perfection. The feature films are thrilling and are directed incredibly well. I think that the complete film series might not appeal to all however since each film differs slightly from one another people should at least try watching one. For example the earlier films were much more childlike, the movies were scary but not too scary. Some of them were described as gripping adventure films. Then the later ones were rather seen as thrillers, dark yet still containing the mild humour. The films are also visually amazing: with impeccable cinematography, they took advantage of computer-generated imagery to create some stunning scenes. `There is of course a lot of action as well to keep audiences entertained. The movies are truly magical.
