What I hope to get out of studying media production;

Media production by definition is ‘’Media studies is a discipline and field of study that deals with the content, history and effects of various media; in particular, the mass media’’- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_studies. However in my opinion media production is the way in which the media affects the society we live in and how it has affected them over the last 100 years this could be through many different elements of media i.e. social media ,films/TV or music .  Areas in which I am particularly interested in the mass media is music this is because of the huge variety in which there is in the music industry there is so many areas in which can be studied and of which I find interest in; another reason for the interest is its relatable to a wider audience so therefore it is easy to be able to relate the context to many different groups of people this allows the music industry to be part of many wider communities and allows music to create different communities. In particular I am interested in the finding of the new music, the promotion that goes into making their music public and to them creating their fan base to sell their music to through advertising there music to specific groups; an example of this could be one direction who advertise their music on TV channels in which they know the younger generations will watch as this is who they focus their music towards and a contrast to this would be Adele who focuses her music toward the older generations therefore promotes her music on different platforms where different groups of people will see .

   Skills in which I have that will help me develop in the media course are organisation this will allow me to good time management and be fully prepared for the entire work load from the coursework and will allow me to keep on top of all the work in which I will be given. Skills and knowledge in which I hope to develop in the course is the skills of camera work I have not yet had much experience of working cameras so would like to develop these skills to be able to produce a good quality of coursework, I will develop these skills through practice of the camera. I would also like to develop better team working skills I will be able to work well in a team this is something I can do now however I would like to develop better skills throughout the coursework through having the need to communicate with my other team members this will allow me to use their knowledge to better my coursework and knowledge. I would say my main weakness is my lack of background knowledge about media as I haven’t study media as a subject before however this will allow me to learn everything I will need while completing my coursework and this will allow me to research new information. My ultimate aim for the course is to allow me to learn about the media industry and to get background knowledge on many aspects of the media such as the music industry and its impact on society; I will also be able to apply this to other subjects such as sociology.
