Introduction

Hi, my name is Ben and this is my blog for my AS Media Studies!


I have never taken media before but have decided to study it as it seems to be a subject that 'catches my eye' as well as me having a taste for making films through filming and editing. I am a film fanatic consisting of favourites such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Donnie Darko, and many more! I love analysing the techniques and methods used in film and the trickery inside them to deceive the viewer in a variety of intelligent ways. Although I don't know everything about it I am keen to learn as much as possible. I feel that the process of making the films trailer will be challenging yet enjoyable.


I have a deep love for late 80's and 90's music including work from some of the bests such as The Stone Roses and The Smiths as well as Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac. As well as enjoying old music I am passionate about new rock and indie-rock music from bands such as Slaves and Drenge but also including Arctic Monkeys and Jake Bugg. I am passionate about 86' to 90' lifestyle and how people dressed such as wearing Harrington jackets and Doc Marten boots.


I am also in a two piece band playing the drums where the second person is lead singer and lead guitarist. We enjoy playing music similar to what we listen to as said before - rock and indie-rock music.
