What am I hoping to learn?

I am hoping to develop some video editing skills and camera working. I am hoping to be able to take these skills into the real world and begin creating media independently as a content creator. I’m also hoping to understand why people are drawn to certain media platforms and how I could potentially utilize this knowledge myself either independently or for a company/corporation. I also hope to develop my analytic writing skills and be able to see beneath the surface of some media.

What skills do you already have?

My skills when using technology are limited but I’m not hopeless. I’ve had prior experience with blog platforms such as this and I’ve dabbled with Photoshop in the past. I attained a C and ICT in St Sampsons.

What skills do you think Media Studies could help you with?

The skills that I could attain in Media Studies could help me with my future goal to go into the film industry. With filming a music video it could help me explore the art of camera work, set making, costuming and directing. With designing a magazine it could help me with digital design which I have always been interested in and in my opinion is a very useful skill to have from personal experience.
