Media Studies A2 baby! =D

I am currently doing preparation work for my coursework that i will have to produce this year. The whole class have been given the statement "The most pivotal year of my generation" & then have been given a separate issue to focus on.
The topic that i have been given is the summer riots which happened on the beginning of August just a over a month ago. I have been collecting as much research as possible on how key debates & issues about the riots have been portrayed in a different ways. For example i have been looking at a wide range of different media platforms (Broadcast, print & e-media etc) to see how each of them present the summer riots. I have found several video & articles about the summer riots & i will continue my research so then i could create a formal presentation along with a formal essay. =)

Refection to Media Studies

Media to me is really enjoyable subject from my experience in year 11. I'm excited to being studying media at A level as I've always been a person who llikes to look in detail in specific parts of the media. Media is something that is involved with us in our everyday lives. Therefore it will benefit me not just in college, but also outside of college as certain topics are to do with the news and reality etc. Moreover, one of my favourite things in media studies is the production work, because it involves interesting films, tv programmes and putting your idea's into an actual design. e.g this blog dat we are doing.
