Introduction

Bonjour, my name is Brian Oblitey and I am 16 years old. I live in a tranquil town called Kettering, situated in the Northants. I was originally born in Corbeil-Essonnes, a city near Paris, in France. Media was an obvious choice for my A-Levels purely because I am really interested in film-making and everything that has to do with television, such as music. I am highly looking forward to this course, because it is a brand-new subject/area for me to test and expand my knowledge on. This is how I use media daily:

Phone: I use my phone every day and use it for different services such as calling, browsing, listening to music. I also might use it for games.

Television: I watch television daily to get information but also to be entertained. My favourite shows vary from documentaries to music channels.

Radio: I rarely listen to the radio. But when I do, I usually listen to music stations. I would sometimes listen to the radio with my phone on long car journeys.

Newspapers/Magazines: I occasionally read magazines. When I do, it's to get information about what is happening in the UK and the rest of the world.

Internet: I often use the internet for social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. I use it to keep in touch with my friends abroad and to follow my favourite celebrities' activities. I would also use the Internet to watch videos on Youtube, often music videos, and to visit pages such as Wikipedia, to find out about certain things.
