Hello my name is Max Warren. I am studying media at Grammar Sixth Form Centre. While here, I am hoping to learn how to create media pieces that are of a high level. My creative skills from doing art GCSE are quite good already, but I am hoping being exposed to so much media for the next two years make my skills vastly improve. I will have to learn to use photoshop and Indesign as I have never used those before. This will be necessary for things such as the Music Magazine which we will be doing later this term. I also think it will be interesting learning to make a music video as I have never really done anything like that before and think think it will be great fun considering I quite like music. I think my essay/writing skills are of a good quality but can improve throughout this course.
Skills I already have:
- I often edit photos for my own enjoyment or social media aesthetics
- social media is a big part of most of our generations life so I have obviously been exposed to pop culture from quite a young age, giving me particular tastes for how I want certain things to look.
- I am quite sociable which will help in group work
- I have taken pictures of people and other things before in art GCSE
Skills I hope to use and develop:
- I would like to do lots of group work
- making a blog and using computers more
- I would like to improve on technical skills as I am not very advanced in that area yet
- photoshop and editing
I hope when making my media, I can attract as many people as possible and make good pieces of media for everyone to enjoy.
