Introduction

Welcome to my new A2 media studies blog!

In this blog I will post all my planning and research, as well as any parts of media or film that I feel will benefit my final piece.

I decided to take media studies for numerous reasons. First of all, I really enjoyed it. I found editing my and Matt's opening sequence particularly interesting and was really keen to experimentwiith different ideas in the editing.

Secondly, the media is a rapidly growing industry, that only gets bigger as technology develops as it reaches more people and becomes even more accessable. It is arguably the biggest industry in the modernised world as it has become part of so many peoples daily lives as technological convergence has made it's usefulness particularly attainable and with new website such as Netflix becoming incredibly popular, the world's love of film has increased along with it as people can afford to watch movies for very cheap as there is no expensive movie trip, and for £5 instead of affording one film, they have an entire library avaliable on every device that can access the internet in the world.

 Personally, my love for films has always been present, it's just nowadays it is a lot for affordable and so I can enjoy one of my favourite hobbies. In my free time I enjoy playing football and watching movies on Netflix. My love for movies is a big reason of why I've chosen to study media at A level because I really enjoy watching movies and am interested in learning how to film/edit them and also understanding the meaning of different shots and sound. I also would like to be involved with movie/TV filming in the future and so I feel this subject is very relevant to achieve a career in that line of work.  My dogs are both now one year older! And still going strong!

Like many people nowadays, I don't really watch TV, however there are many shows on Netflix that I enjoy such as Asian Provocateur and Rick & Morty. However my favourite is a show called Bojack Horseman (he's in the background!), and I feel that genre of nihilist comedy is very popular right now.

I hope to draw inspiration from the epsiodes, particularly the very interesting and artisitic editing, which is especially present in it's most recent season.
