Media Studies Personal Statement

Creativity of the mind has always interested me in the way people think and produce such fascinating and quirky ideas. Working and being involved in the Media would help to bring my imagination to life. Ever since I was a child, the world around me intrigued me to discover new things and develop my imagination into wondering what life is all about. The media entices me into wanting to learn about it because in a way everyone is a part of it, whether they intend to be or not. Getting myself involved with media activities as much as possible, I started taking photos from a young age which was of great interest to me. Gathering photos of places and people around me, I was able to acknowledge the beauty of life and how unique everything is.
This ignited my creative flame and presented my imaginative side. I studied both English Language and Literature for GCSE as well allowing me to place my mind on a page and express myself using only words. Making it a goal of mine to get involved with the media I chose Media Studies in A level to carry on with my creative side and let my imaginative thoughts thrive.
Taking part in work experience with my school, I attended a local newspaper which took charge of writing out local stories and going to court cases relating to crimes. This gave me the responsibility of taking note of every detail that was mentioned or made known throughout a court case. I was also able to help write out news article in the ways that would interest and intrigue the public. This enticed me to investigate on what makes the public tick; what interests them with the information the media provides. Furthermore, I took part in A level Health and Social Care work experience at a primary school which also allowed me to interact with young students. This allowed me to gain a further insight on communication towards the public and increased my interpersonal skills. Work experience has further driven my desire to get involved with Media
