Media is something I have always been fascinated by, as someone who regularly creates and consumes media I would refer to myself as a media enthusiast.

During my time in Media Studies I hope to learn all about the techniques which are used to create messages in media texts, how influential media is in our society, and how media has evolved.

As a 17 year old who has been on social media from a very young age I would like to think that I have a good knowledge and understanding on some aspects of media, particularly social media. I am a very creative person and hopefully this means I will be able to create some good designs e.g for magazine covers, album covers, and more which we will be doing later on.

I think media will help me a lot with letting my creative side come out and helping me understand better what goes into creating various types of media. I think it will also help me with my communication skills as we will all be communicating as a class, from giving each other feedback and working together to complete tasks etc. As this is also partly a coursework subject I think it will help me with my time management by completing work weekly with deadlines.
