A1) I chose AS Media Studies because I have very creative personality. In my opinion, I think that I always come up with new and unique ideas whether that be at school or at home and at home I do not get to express all of these ideas so I chose Media as a way to be able to express the type of person I am and the numerous ideas that I come up with.
A2) I did not take GCSE media.
A4) In A Levels, practically, I hope to obtain an A* but realistically I think I am capable of obtaining a B.
A5) My next thought after A Level is to take some time out from education and find myself through doing different things that I have never done before like travelling or going into particular fields, i.e volunteering at a radio station to see which profession I think I would like, going on from there I would like to do an apprenticeship based on what I have found out from the time I have taken off from education or go into the working field.
A6) The biggest Media story of 2016 I think is Britain coming out of the EU.
A7) The media source that I use is Snapchat as you can view the news on stories that are on there.
A8) The last film that I watched was Suicide Squad.
A9) My favourite TV series is Power and Empire.
A10) I spend just about the right time online as I am doing other activities like making music or coming up with clothes designs.
