My Media Background So Far

Favourite Film

From a very young age, my favourite film has been 'Labyrinth'. It was directed by Jim Henson, the Muppet man, and features David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.

Growing up my dad forced me to listen to a lot of David Bowie songs on long car journeys and so when I found out that there was a film with him featured in it, I had to see it straight away. Once I'd watched it, I couldn't help but watch it over and over again, and this makes it my most watched and favourite film ever.

Favourite Actor

My favourite actor currently is Johnny Depp. He is a in a lot of movies which I am very fond of and this is purely down to the fact that he is so good at adapting to the role of his character.

It is almost as if while he is acting he completely loses himself within the character which makes it very interesting to watch. The characters which Johnny Depp plays are never the same and it is as if a different person is playing the character each time.

Most Memorable Childhood Film

My most memorable childhood film is 'Chicken Run'. It was when I was about two or three years old and I must have just learnt how to use a VHS player, and the first tape that my sister and I picked out to try was 'Chicken Run'.

Although we found parts of the movie scary, we were absolutely obsessed with the film so much that we watched it almost every day. Since then, my sister and I have not watched 'Chicken Run' as shortly after having learnt to use the VHS player, it was replaced with a DVD player. We had the movie converted into a DVD but as we had not watched it in such a long time, we lost interest in it and so decided to start watching other films instead.

Favourite Comic 

As a child I was often driven to school with one of my friends who had a younger brother. He was mad about comics, especially the 'Beano'. As he was so obsessed with reading them, I then became fairly obsessed with reading them myself, and whenever I got driven to school by them, I would spend my half an hour reading the comics and I would be extremely entertained by it.

Towards the end of primary school and beginning of secondary school, they came out with a television programme called 'Dennis The Menace and Gnasher', which was a live version of a character in the comic book 'Beano' and although I hadn't read the comics in a very long time, watching it on TV brought back a lot of memories.

Most Memorable Line From A Film

"We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it's not easy." is a quote from the Studio Ghibli film "Kiki's Delivery Service." This has been one of my favourite and most memorable lines from a film that I've watched. Growing up and especially recently I have been having trouble with finding inspiration because particular things don't interest me as much as they used to anymore.

Whenever I'm having difficulty in something, I think back to this quote and it makes me feel better. It makes me realise that eventually I will find something which will guide me to my goal.

Most Frequented Website

My most frequented website is Tumblr. On Tumblr you can find anything and everything, which is especially useful when it comes to finding inspiration for creative projects. Another reason why I am so fond of Tumblr is that you can meet and interact with so many people who share the same interests as you. It is also great when you have important questions to ask because you can get a response almost instantly.

Film Location I'd Most Like To Live

I would most like to live in the film locations of 'The Secret Garden', as everything filmed there was so breathtaking. Although a lot of the scenes are set in different places, they match perfectly with each other, making it an extremely beautiful movie to watch.

Favourite Film Intro

My favourite opening to a film has to be the opening for 'Up'. Through the short amount of time it had, it was able to present numerous amounts of feelings. It went through friendship, love, sadness and then sorrow, all through the first 3 minutes.

Gadget I'd Most Like To Own

I would most like to own a GoPro as I feel I would be about to film some great experiences that I have with it. It is a great gadget to use, especially when underwater and the fact that you can strap it to yourself so you don't have to go through the hassle of holding it is also very useful.
