Introduction (Statement of Intent)

INTRODUCTION (statement of intent)

My name is Nicole Brady, and I am currently studying AS Level Media Studies in addition to Photography, and English.

I achieved a grade B in GCSE level Media, and the first thing we looked at during the course was DVDs. We had to analyse two covers of different genres, then make our own with the title 'Imagine'. Next, we studied the music industry- a topic I particularly enjoyed looking at. For this part of our coursework, I created a storyboard for a music video for a song by Demi Lovato. Our final coursework piece was to create 4 pages of a print magazine- the cover, contents page, an article and an advert. This was my favourite thing about the course, and I think it was my best piece of work as it allowed me to showcase my ideas and creativity.

I am looking forward to learning more about film making and various editing techniques over the next few months, and am planning to continue studying Media next year. In the future I would like to go into the Music Journalism business, through either photography or writing. I think studying Media has helped me to realise this and taught me a lot about the industry.
