Introduction

What is Media Studies for?

Media Studies is a way for people of the world to find out more about the production of different types of Media and the affect it has on society. For me, I chose media because i've always been interested in the production and making of movies and the way in which certain/different people get portrayed through direct media such as magazines or the news.

My taste in films, directors and actors are not so typical for most teenagers. Although I do enjoy old classics and rom-coms such like Grease and The Notebook, I enjoy films with a deeper meaning. For example, The Fault in Our Stars pictured above is not so much of a typical love story, but more a truthful real life scenario based on events that could really happen! 

I chose to embed the Great Gatsby trailer from youtube because I love this film! Not only do I love the actors such as Leonardo Dicaprio and Carey Mulligan, but the 1920's costumes and culture within the film is particularly likeable. I also enjoy the music in parts of the movie (such like the beginning of the trailer) because it compliments the atmosphere very well which is unexpected given the time that this movie is set in combined with the very 21st century music.
