    For this video, I asked a bunch of media studies, creative media, and film studies teachers why they thought it was such an important subject, and here's what they said!
    Whether you are considering taking media studies at GCSE or A-Level, there is whole world of analysis in understanding for you to uncover - from appreciating diverse representations, to the impact of ownership by mega corporations such as Disney.
    I am a media teacher in the South West of England - if you like this video, check out further media related videos on my chaneel.

    I'm a Media Student at university and I love your videos, I like media because it has endless possibilities, it combines perfectly with curiosity and creativity. Social, psychological, critical thought and tech studies all in one. Couldn't be a better study field of you are madly curious about society and have artsy passions or hobbies, keep up the good work 😊

      I studied creative media: games with Mr Hunter for my A-levels and I had a great time without having any GCSE experience! It should be easy to pick up without prior education on the topic, the hardest part for me was getting to know some of the things I needed to use such as Adobe and Photoshop as I'd never used them before. Watching videos on the topics and programs you'll need to use/understand could be a good head start if you're new media and aren't sure if taking the subject is for you yet.

    I understand you study media but what you really mean is you study movies or the CINEMA, right? I am a founder of an art movement and we study and pursue the idea of a New Cinema. It's based on a re-definition of the traditional cinema screen and is officially called DNS Cinema (or RefLEX Cinema.) It's not just theoretical work on narration - we actually have developed a new type/family of lens and believe this notion of a new cinema is hard. i.e. Real.
