First blog task

1. I chose A-level Media Studies as things such as social media play a big part in most peoples lives these days and by studying it and gaining more knowledge and understanding about it would be helpful especially in the future. I also think it is quite interesting to learn about all the media insights. 

2. I did take media GCSE's at the Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls. 

3. I got a grade B in GCSE media and for coursework (as much as I remember) we done analysing magazine covers and making our own, designing our own poster, creating a video game.In GCSE media I really enjoyed the coursework tasks and achieved an A* overall for my coursework. My weakness would be the exam as we didn't do much exam preparation as we mainly focused on the coursework.

4. I hope to achieve an A or a minimum of grade B. 

5. Once I finish A-levels, I am hoping to go into university and either do Law or something business related.

6. Apple slowing down their older models of iPhone's as ageing battery could make the phone completely shut down if not. This was a big topic in the media as Apple are very well known brand that a large amount of people use including celebrities. The News spreading everywhere made Apple change one of the main issues with their phones; sudden shutdowns.

7. I mainly use snapchat news stories and instagram as those are my most used social media platforms. I also sometimes read the news on the msn news website. 

8. The last film I watched was Searching.

9. I don't have one.

10. An estimate of around 9 hours. I think this is a bit too much as I spend a lot of my day on social media that I don't pay attention to the wider world and don't socialise with much people in real life.
