Introduction

Hello!

Welcome to my blog. My name is Natasha Black and I am doing A2 Media Studies this year. I chose this subject because I enjoy analysing media texts and making different aspects such as magazines, films, music videos, advertisements and all other media texts because it gives me a spark of excitement that I don't get doing anything else. Furthermore, this is the industry that I would like to take part and fulfil a career in and therefore, it is why I have chosen media as a subject at A level.

I developed a passion for media from a young age. The way that films were made and advertised with the use of posters and in magazines made me feel excited about the way they were shown to a certain demographic. All types of aspects within the media interest me and I have enjoyed AS Media where we made print articles in a magazine about a new music star. Although sometimes doing certain tasks can be challenging, I work through it and am able to make just what I wanted to from the start of each task.

I understand that this year we will be making music videos for the first time and I cannot wait to start. I think this will be a new learning curve for me due to the fact that I have never made a music video before. I have already started gathering ideas in my head and will speak about them with the group that I end up working with. 
I hope this second year of media studies as a subject will help me fulfil what I want to do when I leave school as it will give me the knowledge I need to have to work in the media industry.
