why i chose media

Why I Chose Media

In year 8 we were given an options letter so that we could chose a GCSE media type task for the year. I chose Media above the others because A. I didn't like music and I find that for GCSE drama I would have a lot of coursework so thats the main reason why I chose GCSE Media. I also chose GCSE Media because I wanted to learn filming and photography to help me in later years. Now I will write what things I hope to learn and acheive by studying GCSE Media.

Well I hope to learn how to take different photography angles and be able to make a short film like the mini cartoon pixar films. Also I would like to mabey one day become a producer or a director so these skills in Media would help me to aspire that dream.

Films and programms that I enjoy. I enjoy a variety of different films such as the transporters and any basic action or horror film. Some music that I enjoy are songs like written in the stars by tinie tempah and other songs by usher and pitbull. I also like rnb and a little bit of rock.

In Media we will also bee learning about media companies like the BBC and childs media like Disney. So thats basically my report on why I chose Media and what I hope to learn from GCSE Media.

Reasearch an Instutiution

Reasearch an Instutiution

Task 1:

1) The history of WaltDisney film Instutiution was founded by Walter Elies/ Walt Disney in 1923. It was an international film and media industry for childs entertainment. Since the company was set up many good childrens films have been made such as: Peter-Pan The Jungle Book and many others. Also since production many theme parks in Florida and Paris have been made into resort parks for children and families. At these theme parks there are famous faces such as Micky Mouse and Donald Duck.

2) The types of media that Disney make are family films funny monster and cartoon films and also little short length films like For the Birds and Mike's new car. Other short films that they make are red's dream. Also Disney do make some sad films like Bambi and romances like Lady and the Tramp also things such as the Lion King are really good rememorable Disney films.

3) The Walt Disney company owns ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel soapnet ABC, ABC Family, ABC Kids, Walt Disney Distribution and most importantly Pixar. Most of these companies that Disney own are TV chanels on Sky and Freeview but others are actual mini film production companies like Pixar.

Task 2:

1) In 1958 Hugh Carleton Greene became head of News and Current Affairs, and set up a BBC study group whose findings were published in 1959.

2) The BBC stans for the British Broadcating Corporation.

3) The purpous of the BBC is to broadcast us programs and news for our own entertainment and for news referrences around the globe.

4) The BBC is funded by telivision licence tax and also in 1 Apr 2007 the BBC's funding was guaranteed by Royal Charter and fixed at regular intervals that they would get paid for the amount of people watching broadcasts.

5) The areas of Media that the BBC broadcast are soaps on BBC1 and on BBC Three they broadcast comedy and real life things. Also other things that they broadcast is BBC Sport and also BBC News. So thats the main things that they broadcast.

6) I think that its important to let us have PSB in Brittain because we havr the right to broadcast ourselves and see what we want to see therefore its impotant that we have things like Youtube so that we have a right to do what we want and watch and broadcast what we want to.

A man was watching the TV; his favourite horror movie was on. He was slowly drifting, drifting off to sleep. An hour passes and he wakes up. His eyes misty and his face drawing closer and closer to the TV. He hears a scream ahh, and realises what he must do. He leapt to his feet his eyes weary as if they were blank. He walks into the kitchen and pulls a machete from the draw. In a gloomy voice he says she will die tonight... It’s a horror film and some characters that I would have in my Courtney Cox (from scream) Jaime lee Curtis from the (Halloween series.)
