Why I chose AS Media Studies

Often, after I've finished watching a movie and watch the credits role I start thinking. Not the deep philosophical kind of thinking you do in the shower but the kind were you think about the little details and the meaning behind each of the events you had seen in the movie. It's really interesting to know how much effort and key details were put into the movie to make it brilliant but we don't look closely into it when the movie has finished. This is why I chose AS Media Studies. I want to know what makes a brilliant movie, why the director had chosen that particular angle, the hardwork of editing the background music and the different type of genres. I feel like I had missed out a lot when I did not take GCSE Media and I knew that I wanted to take Media for A-Level. I have already learnt a lot during these last two lessons and I want to know more. I'm ready for the consequences of taking AS Media, that by the time I've finished A-Level media I know that every movie I watch from now on will be analysed thoroughly instead of enjoying it but it's worth it.
