My hobbies are listening to music, playing the piano, reading and socialising with friends.

Media Interests:

I must admit that I don’t really read newspapers because they are not designed for teenagers or young adults and especially not women! This is because it is full of politics, business, sports and the ‘inspirational’ page 3 girls, which don’t really interest me and a lot of other females. However, papers like the sun try to put in articles that are meant to interest woman such as celebrity gossip and horoscopes which is only a token gesture and isn’t particularly appealing. Also, I find that some of the news is extremely depressing because there is a lot of crime, murders and sexual assaults reported that I don’t really want to read or worry about. I prefer to read local newspaper like the * because it’s relevant to what’s happening in my own community.

I prefer to access news on the internet like the bbc website because I find the news easier to process and because my dad doesn’t really read newspapers apart from the sun. I always check cinema listings on websites such as ‘Odeon’ and ‘Vue’ because it is much easier to retrieve which is why

I rarely read magazines because most of the articles don’t really interest me, I prefer to read books. However, I sometimes read ‘look’ magazine because it has high street fashion that is designed more for teenagers and is based in affordable but stylish shops, like Topshop and River Island. It appeals to me because I am interested in the types of clothes and make up that they promote. Sometimes I read gossip magazines when I’m bored and I want to laugh at what lengths people will go to for fame.

Radio Media:

I don’t really listen to the radio, only when I’m getting ready for school in the morning. I listen to ‘Kiss’ because it usually has the most recent, upbeat songs that put me in a good mood but most of the songs aren’t really the type that I would normally listen to. I sometimes listen to radio one because they talk a lot about different types of bands/new bands that I would listen to and have some humorous conversations that interest me. Apart from that, radio stations don’t concern me because sometimes they play good songs but they are usually followed by ones that I don’t find appealing.

Music Industry:

I listen to a variety of different music but my least favourite genre is probably ‘pop’. I’m not in a band but I enjoy playing the piano. I listen to music mostly on the computer because it is easier to find the specific songs that I want to play. For example, I don’t have many CDs, I go on either spotify or YouTube to find the music that I want to listen to. I’ve never downloaded music illegally, because I only need it for my iPod, but I also believe that it is wrong to illegally download songs because you’re basically stealing from the artists that have produced such a good song. I think that the music industry could definitely influence the way people behave, some people take music as a lifestyle choice and dress accordingly to the genre of the music. For example some people who listen to indie music might wear skinny jeans and have longer hairstyles and a fringe. Whereas people who listen to rap/hiphop/R’n’B music might wear baggy jeans and ‘gangster’ hats. These people are easily influenced.

Video Games:

I don’t really play video games much but I have my brother has a PS3 that he is ALWAYS on and I have a PS2 that I used to play a lot when I was younger. My favourite game was called ‘crash bandicoot’ it was about getting through different levels (warp rooms) which, at the time, I thought was really cool. I understand that some video games can have a very negative effect on people, especially young boys and teens, but as I said my fourteen year old brother plays on COD which is a violent war game and he’s not a violent person at all. Not all teenagers are influenced or easily lead by games, just because they play them doesn’t necessarily mean that they don’t know the difference between right and wrong/reality and fantasy.

New Technology:

Technology has definitely increased my understanding of the world because I can communicate much more easily with friends that live a long way away via social networking sites and my mobile phone. Also, I like learning about the new technology such as upgrades of iPhones, iPads, laptops and the developments of 3D T.V. It is so much easier to communicate nowadays because of emails and new phone applications because the broadband has been made faster and more efficient, it amazes me that there are so many different gadgets and apps that are being released every day. There is much more access to films and television programs on the internet because of websites like ‘bcc iplayer’ and illegal websites where you can watch films. There is a lot of opportunity to create your own piece of media text on the internet because there are lots of websites that let you create your own website and create your own blog just like this one, it gives you an opportunity to share your views and get people to listen to you.

Television:

My favourite T.V channels are probably ‘E4’ and various music channels such as ‘4music’ and ‘VIVA’. I like to watch the programs on ‘E4’ because they are often comedies like my favourite programs ‘Friends’ and ‘Scrubs’. I like to watch the music channels because I enjoy watching the types of videos that they create to go with the songs. My favourite television genre is probably comedy dramas like ‘Ugly Betty’ and ‘Waterloo Road’ because even though they are based on serious topics they portray them in humorous ways. The television programs that I find most memorable have to be ‘Friends’, ‘Waterloo Road’, and ‘Ugly Betty’ because every episode is different and amusing.

Feature Film:

My favourite film genre is romantic comedies because they’re funny, uplifting and take you away from real life. The three films that I find outstanding are ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Moulin Rouge’ and ‘Love Actually’. The actors in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ are amazing (especially Leonardo DiCaprio) and the way that the director has set it in modern times, yet still using the Shakespearian language works really well. The cinematography in ‘Moulin Rouge’ was incredible especially in the scene where they sing ‘your song’ where the camera uses an ‘aerial shot’ and revolves itself around the theatrical action. Finally, my third favourite film ‘Love Actually’ has a great storyline and soundtrack and is extremely amusing. I prefer to watch films at the cinema because I love the atmosphere and the largeness of the screen, my friends and I have seen many films at the cinema and it makes a fun day out. My favourite cinema is probably ‘Odeon’ because the seats are so comfortable. It is a bit more expensive than ‘Vue’ and takes a little bit longer to get to, but the size of the rooms and quality is worth it. I prefer to watch films in a group so after we can discuss them and sharing the experience with friends is much more fun.

Are you a media producer?

When I was about 10, I used to borrow my dad’s camcorder and make short films with my friends who were very dramatic and really into acting. They would make up the story and sometimes I was in the films and other times I directed them. Also, last year my friends made up a funny song and wanted me to film it on my mobile, which was really fun and interested me a lot.
