In my spare time I like to
Media Interests:
Print media:
The newspaper that I normally read is The Guardian, the reason why is because my dad reads it and is just left on my table. I usually just read the sport and other stories which i think look interesting. I also read the TV schedules as well.
Radio Media :
I don't tend to listen to the radio much however I do sometimes listen to the news in the morning due to the radio being left on in the mornings, so I listen to it for information. Another time when I listen to the radio is when in the car and that is usually both entertainment such as live sport, and information.
Music Industry
The genre of music I mostly listen to are genres of electronic music
such as drum & bass, electro house, jungle and ragga.
I access my music off the internet because I find it the easiest way to.
My opinion on illegal downloading of music off internet sites is that it is stealing and that the musicians and producers don't get the money they deserve, however I don't see how illegal downloading effects musicians in chart music by a great amount because that is the most popular music around and will still get a lot of money.
The music industry may influence ones dress, attitudes and aspirations by depending on the genre of music they listen to and their favourite band or singer. They may aspire to be like them and do so by maybe dressing how they dress. The music industry can also influence by how a person dress's by for instance they may wear a t-shirt with a bands name they like on it.
Video Games:
My favourite video game is probably Red Dead Redemption. The game is an open world action adventure game set in the American west during the early 1900s. When playing the game you can interact with the environment and engage in combat with your enemies using a variety of weapons. Horses are the main way of transportation. It's my favourite video game because there isn't a game set during this time period making it different and something new to play.
Video games may have a negative effect because certain games contain a lot of violence which may promote it in reality.
New Technology
Technology has increased my understanding of the world because it's every and you're able to get information whenever you need it, weather through a mobile to a computer.
The way technology allows me to communicate with others is very quick and easy, also there are several ways to be able to communicate with others such as through texts, or email or through social networking sites like Facebook. Also people are able to communicate through games consoles.
New technology can allow us to access films, the music industry and television programs. The internet is full of websites which allows us to access these. For example we are able catch up on what we've missed on TV through websites like iplayer and 4od. Not only on the internet are we able to catch up on TV programs but you can also record programs and watch them later. The Internet also also allows us to access the music industry through itunes, youtube and also illegal downloading of music. Another way new technology able's us to access the music industry are by MP3 players, people are able to listen to their music wherever. The internet again allows us to view movies both illegally and legally through sites such as Netflix. But also technology allows us to have access to film through portable devices such as ipods.
Television:
My favourite TV channels are probably BBC3 and e4, I like these channels best because they both have some of my favourite TV series's to watch.
My favourite television genre is probably either drama or comedy.
The television programs I find memorable are Misfits, The Inbetweeners, Skins and although its not a TV program i found the 2012 Olympic games very memorable to watch.
Feature Film:
My favourite film genre is either comedy or thriller this is because it depends in the mood I'm in, comedy lightens my mood because they're funny whilst thrillers have action and can be very tense to watch.
3 films I find outstanding are:
Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
The way I prefer to consume films is either on the television or the internet.
My favourite cinema is probably Vue because of its position in the city, and me living close to the city it requires little time getting there.
I prefer to watch films by myself unless I'm going to the cinema where I always go with at least one other person.
Conclusion:
