Jo Webb: AS Media Studies Blog

About Me


To me media is advertisement and promotion of a certain product, using TV, the radio, posters or magazines. I have chosen to study media because its growing and can be linked to all everyday jobs, so i believe it would be a good courier choice. In the future I would like to be able to use media to create advertisement or to promote a company.Media interests me because it is used globally and can be linked to everything, without the use of the media, people would become less aware of products and news.My favorite film is probably Step Brothers because it has everything I'm looking for in a film and I never get tired of watching it.The radio station I would normally listen to would be Kiss 101 because everyone my age tends to listen to it and it has all latest music and some news to offer. If i could be in a TV show i would choose The Inbetweeners because it is such a widely watched program and doesn't seem to have a dull moment in it. I use the internet mainly for emails and Facebook, everyday person my age uses Facebook as a way of easily socializing with friends,online. An advert that has recently caught my eye has been the Pepsi adverts because they have kept the same group of friends helping each other in awkward situations which appeals to a wide range of the audience.


Media On TV.


Today in the media, Harry Potter mainly dominated the TV news and radio stations as it premiered its final film. It promises to be "the best one yet", however this is often said about all new squeals and always gets mixed reviews. As the Harry Potter films have gone on they have been getting more complex and less like a childhood fairy tale like story. However David Heyman, the producer behind the Harry Potter films, claims that this was what he hoped for. He believes that as the films have gone on the audience has grown up with the cast and they themselves have become more mature and complex.


As i said earlier in my blog, i said I would like to star in the TV show, The Inbetweeners, that also goes for their new film, released on August 19th, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3HzTKbsqsY. I have attached the films, official trailer, the widely watched TV program ensures that the film will be a big hit but will have to work hard to carry on a consistent amount of comedy already set by the previous series'.
