Film poster

This is a film poster of 'adulthood' and just by looking at the central image you can tell its a film which involves crime. The way he's dressed shows that it's a 'hood' film as his hoodie is up. Also the way he's standing with his hands in his pocket shows that people associate 'thug' behaviour with dark clothing and inappropriate gestures. The genre of this movie is crime and action.

Why I chose media

I chose media studies because I thought it would be something I would enjoy doing and a subject I know I would be capable of achieving and A or an A*. I also chose it because it has a lot to do with a computer and editing skills in which I have experience of and I enjoy doing as a hobby. I want to improve my Photoshop skills and filming skills to help me in the future and when I need to. I did the IT GCSE last year which led me to wanting to do media as both GCSE courses link in using computers and editing. I would also like to improve my photography skills and acting skills within 1 GCSE which is a bonus for me. I like making videos and hope to direct a music video one day whether it be something big or even a small video for a friend or family. :-).
