First Blog Task- Halsey

 1) Why did you choose A Level Media Studies?


I picked media studies because i enjoy learning about the different forms of media and understanding what goes into making certain types of media such as videogames and film.

I did not take GCSE media and i studied at Greenford Highschool

N/A


4) What grade do you hope to achieve in A Level Media?


A-A*


5) What are your current thoughts about your next steps after A Levels - university, apprenticeship, 

Work?


I believe that doing media will allow me to understand what i find enjoyable in my pursuit to finding a career path that i want to go down, as currently i do not have any idea of what i want to do at university


6) What do you think the biggest MEDIA story of 2023 has been and why?


The controversial acquisition of twitter by Elon Musk 


7) What media sources do you use to find out about news and current affairs?


I watch TLDR news on YouTube for global and European politics and for general news on popular figures, while i also reach articles online for more specific news on games and other interests


8) What was the last film you watched?


I had watched pirates of the Caribbean curse of the black pearl


9) What is your favourite ever TV series?


My favourite series would have to be the walking dead while i also enjoy z nation, generally anything to do with a zombie apocalypse.


10) How many hours do you spend online in an average day? Is this too little, too much or about right? Why? (If you have an iPhone you can use Screen Time to get an accurate figure of how much you use your phone).


I would say i spend around 4 hours a day when it comes to social media but its far greater when it comes to videogames and YouTube. I do believe i spend an okay amount of time online generally

The original example from the summer for music video treatments can be found here. Green day - Wake me up when September ends - Original Artist + Song ClueS (will abbreviate to CS for treatment) - Artist Warm tones: Orange, teal 2 shots, low angle, Nostalgia/friendship The camera is on a close up of the pavement curb as 'CS' steps up revealing shoe brand. Then the camera moves anticlockwise and up to meet the face of 'CS' and cuts to a medium shot of him walking towards a bridge. Camera cuts to a side view and as 'CS' walks, the time changes and man is introduced walking alongside 'CS' towards the bridge. Montage of both actors having fun...

Statement of Intent guidance is provided by AQA in their NEA Student Booklet but we strongly recommend you also look at our Statement of Intent questions to consider document too (you'll need to log in with your Greenford Googl...
