Welcome To My World

Hello, my name is Katie and this is my official AS Media Studies Blog.  The point of this blog is to document the progress that I make in my Media Studies course throughout this year. 

Alright now a bit about me, I was born in a small town in Wales called Dogellau, but have been moving around different countries throughout my life thus far.  I have been enrolled in over 6 schools during my life and I have recently joined Hurtwood House where I hope to spend the next two years studying my A levels.  To be honest I personally haven't had all that much experience with Media in the past and the main reason I joined Hurtwood is because my passion lies in theatre, which is what I hope to pursue after leaving Hurtwood at the end of my two years here. I decided to do Media Studies as one of my 4 AS's because I feel that if I want to be involved with movies or TV or anything along those lines in the future, having a background in Media would be a good idea. I believe that Media would tie in nicely with my drama career as it will help me to know what is going on behind the scenes.

One of the things that I have a lot of experience involving media in is that I was A LOT of movies.  I don't personally have a favourite genre but some of my favourite films include; The Hunger Games, ET, and Gladiator (to name a few).
