AS Level Media: Speed Meeting

To me, media is: A subject that i really enjoyed at GCSE. My final result was my highest grade overall a B.
I have chosen to study media because: I enjoyed it so much at GCSE, i thought A level would be just as fun and interesting.
The last film i watched was: "500 Days Of Summer" last night at the cinema because it was orange wednesdays, it was pretty rubbish really, but the main actor is very very hot, so it wasnt too bad.
The last CD i bought/track i downloaded was: The last CD i bought was a "The Ramones - The Ramones", but then that was bought for me. The last track i downloaded was probablly Papa Roach - Snakes.
My favourite band/artist is: I literally have MILLIONS. But my top 3 would be, 1. Joy Division 2. The Ramones 3. Babyshambles. Favourite artist's therefor are Ian Curtis, Joey Ramone and PETE DOHERTY who i love more than anything haha!
If i could be in a TV show it would be: The Inbetweeners! As its hilarious and i would just be in constant stiches working with Simon Bird (Will)
My radio us usually tuned to: I dont listen to the radio as i cant stand chart music, but our car radio is Heart
The last magazine i read was: Kerrang. Interview with You Me At Six, so i had to buy it!
I use the internet for: MSN, facebook, gig reviews, youtube, buying gig tickets
The newspaper that i'd be most likely to read is: Ummm, the sun? Because i like the celebrity bit in the middle!
If i was to buy a magazine it would be: The NME & Kerrang
If i had to choose, i would rather be a)a journalist b)a film director c)an advertising executive: A journalist because then i'd have a chance of interviewing Pete Doherty
The song i wish i'd written is: Couldnt pick its too hard, but i love the lyrics to The Libertines - Arbeit mach frei. Any Joy Division song though would be awesome to have written
The advert that has caught my eye recently is: STILL the baby advert when four of them are laughing, it makes me laugh! And the Vimto advert when the berries say "Hello pretttttty ladies!"
If i could interview any celebrity/famous person it would be: Ian Curtis, but if they had to be alive then Pete Doherty or Mark Owen, love love loooove!
If i was a brand i'd be: Topshop

My name is Beth Pike, im 16, and have just started sixth form at Chew Valley School. Im currentley studying Media, Psycology, Sociology and Art.
My main interest is music. I listen to music all the time on a day to day basis and love going to gigs, where the music is live and i have a chance to meet the band - which i love and is amazing in my eyes!
As im always interested in discovering new bands, i buy magazines, Kerrang and The NME weekley, i also watch the music channel Kerrang.
One of my favourite genres of music is " 70's punk/new wave" , so i also watch dvd's & video's,look into websites and read autobiographys/books to find out as much as possible about the band/artist.
So, clearly i use the media alot to satisfy my interests and hobbies.
I also enjoy watching films and modern day sitcoms such as The Inbetweeners as its HILARIOUS. I don't go to the cinema that often anymore though, as i find it really expensive. But whenever theirs a chance of watching a good film i'll take it up!
