from my questionare i have found that the younger generation such as teenagers are more involved with the internet. it seems that everyone now thinks it is essential to have a computer/ laptop. there are also many new ways to take in media such as game consoles, ipods and the internet meaning teenagers are taking in alot more media.

I've seen a new film called the Final Destination. i went to go see it as i heard it was good and the trailers looked really cool but when i went to see it the actual film turned out to be boring so i regret it now. I've also recently seen an advert for a new guitar hero game which made me laugh because who hasn't danced around with a pretend guitar! i've mostly listened to music this week and it really annoys me when they constantly replay the same songs. but i like it when a song has a catchy beat like a song called sexy chick by david guetta and akon. thats all thats really caught my attention today.

Today i saw a big poster while i was on the bus, you know the "my kitkat chunky just got funky" and i decided that i liked it! It made me laugh. i haven't seen any others today as i haven't watched t.v yet.

This is my very first post! i took media as one of my options as im always involved in media like watching tv and on the internet so i thought it would be interesting. so far i think it is really fun because none of our other lessons are like this. It makes a change to get and sit on a computer or do practical things instead of in a slassroom staring at a board all the time.
Three things about me:
Im interested in dancing as my sister is a dancer so ive always been around it. im also interested in music, t.v (constantly watching it,) and anything fun. Im quite creative when i want to be but usually find it hard coming up with a good idea to start with. I love to be around alot of people as i get bored really easily and im usually a bit shy when i first meet people but i talk more when ive known them longer as i start to feel more comfortable.
What i have learnt:
So far i have learnt what exactly media is as i didnt really know all about it. i learnt all the different types of media and how much we all take media in a day which is alot.
