Media Studies

Why I Chose Media Studies?

I chose media studies because I Thought It Would be a fun and exciting subject. My Hobby Of Taking of taking photos and editing on Photoshop and I wanted to become a better editor. My Sisters also recommended media studies and said it would be a Hard subject but i will enjoy it. Hopefully by the end of the year I will be achieving the best grade possible. Another reason I chose media studies is because it's around me in my life outside of school for example Phones,Internet,Gaming, TV.



My First Media Studies Lesson/evaluating my work.

In my first media lesson we introduced ourselves to each other. Then we went and planned a music magazine. My groups magazine was called ''urban jams'' we planned it out in the first part of the lesson and then we presented it on in front of the class. Overall I think my group did very well and I enjoyed my first media lesson.

Language: From the language on this picture you can tell that its a very happy setting because of the word "Paradise" this suggest that its a happy and very exciting tour.




Institution: This Artist is from a music group name "YMCMB" which stands for young money cash money business.




Audience: The Genre of This Music is Rap/HipHop/RnB so it is mainly targeted at young teenagers both male and female despite the fact its a male rapper.





Representation: The representation of this tour promo is a very bright and happy setting suggested by the colours, But the actual artist looks quite depressed and not very happy because he has a wine glass next to him and he is closing his eyes whilst rubbing his hands. this could suggest he is a humble person.

Sending A Message - HSBC

I chose the image of a black boy wearing a hoodie because people would initially think that he is a bad person. But for all we know he could be an Oxford Graduate or a professional athlete instead of a drug dealer who he is thought to be.
