The part that I'm looking forward to the most is probably the filming, I've seen music videos that have been created from student of previous years and I would like to create something like that

I would like to learn how to use Photoshop or other editing applications to possibly make a movie cover and I would like to learn  how to use the camera to create different moods and atmospheres when recording something 

3) What grade are you realistically hoping to achieve in Media?

As I've just began the subject, I don't really know what grade I am capable of getting. hopefully I will pass, but the grade I am hoping to achieve would be a B or possibly an A

4) What was the last TV programme or film you watched?

The last TV programme I watched was Hollyoaks (I'm watching it right now). Hollyoaks is a soap and it comes on channel4 and E4

5) Why do you think that TV programme or film appealed to an audience?

I believe that this programme is very well scripted and the music and different shots that are used really captivate us and make us wonder what will happen in the upcoming episode

I've used my phone, laptop and TV to access the media

My phone as it is potable and I can access it wherever I go

8) Watch this clip from acclaimed BBC drama series Sherlock:

9) What do we learn about the characters from this brief clip?

The man that was talking to john on the bench seems like a really inquisitive whereas john seems not as interested in the dialogue that they are both sharing until the man mentions someone that could potentially be John's flatmate. The lady that works in the lab with Sherlock seems really eager to Impress Sherlock and it seems like she is drawn to the way he behaves which is in a very observant and sharp-eyed way.

10) What aspects of this show do you think an audience might enjoy? List at least three Things and explain why the audience would enjoy each aspect.

the audience will enjoy Sherlock's wittiness and the knowledge he has. They may also like the way john and Sherlock work together because they sort of contradict each other in a good way
