why I chose media

I chose to take media for A level as I regret not taking it for GCSEs, and it is a subject that interests me. I am also very interested in the creative aspect, as I enjoy creative subjects, and I feel like media will teach me some valuable skills in other creative forms, such as in photography and video editing. I am hoping to gain more of a knowledge about the media and it's infuences in the modern world, and even potentially go on to a career in some form of creative media.

The Jungle Book Poster

my favourite things

Why I chose these things to represent me:

The top three images are the posters for my three favourite films, Baby Driver, Hot Fuzz and Fantastic Mr Fox. Baby Driver and Hot Fuzz are both directed by Edgar Wright, my favourite director. I love his style, visual comedy and the clever transitions between shots. Fantastic Mr Fox is my favourite animated film, it's directed by Wes Anderson, and is overall, just fantastic. I also included the poster for The Grand Budapest Hotel, another Wes Anderson film, and another film that I love. I then included pictures of my three favourite comedians, Noel Fielding, James Acaster and Richard Ayoade. Along with being one of my favourite comedians, Noel Fielding is also one of my main fashion inspirations, his bold and distinct wardrobe has helped me with creating my own style (fashion and clothes are another thing that I love, I just forgot to include a picture). James Acaster is probably my favourite comedian if I had to choose, his sense of humour is very similar to mine, and his jokes never fail to make me laugh. Two of my favourite shows are The Mighty Boosh and Taskmaster. I love the surreal comedy style of the Boosh, and Taskmaster is such a good show with some very good guests (past contestants include James Acaster and Noel Fielding). I included a lot of images with relation to comedy in my moodboard, not only because I love it, but because my dream is to one day be a comedian. Another picture I included shows the hosts of Buzzfeed Unsolved, another show I love. The show talks about unsolved crimes, conspiracies, and the supernatural, all of which I find interesting. I also included a picture of one of my favourite singers, Loyle Carner, as music is another thing that's very important to me.
