intro

Hi! i'm will and ive chosen media studies as an a-level because i feel that media plays a very large role in my life. Also I hope that it will one day help me get a job in the media perhaps writing for a magazine.

i love watching films especially when i'm with a group of my friends. my favourite film styles are british gangster films, comedies and thrillers although i also enjoy horrors, fantasies and science-fictions. my favourite film of all time is pulp fiction. some other of my favourite films include layer cake, 300, pan's labyrinth and sin city.

i also read a few music related magazines like NME, ATM and the Wire and often read online reviews of music releases i've bought. my favourite website for this is Boomkat.com, an online record store that reviews all of the releases it stocks. it also provides audio samples. i occasionaly read the review and the Guide supplements of the gaurdian newspaper and the Observer Music Monthly.

my favourite music video at the moment is for Wierd Fishes by Radiohead. the music video is directed by Tobias Stretch who is a stop motion animator. he won a competition to direct the video which is up on you tube HERE.

Over the next few weeks i will be posting blogs about media that i encounter and i will upload pics and vids that i either take myself or find on the web.
