The media world has entirely fascinated me since I was a little girl. My interest in media developed as I was growing up; I found that I always had plenty of special ideas in different media such as advertising video and poster. At school, I was such an organiser that I planned and organised plenty of shows in our school parties because I had lots of unusual ideas accepted by my classmates. Moreover, I was a member of the entertainment division of my student union. I co-ordinated many evening parties, doing broadcasts and making a series of publicities to advertise our activities. Before graduating from school, I produced a series of advertising videos to promote piano, dance and DJ competitions, this was my first experience of being a producer and I took charge of all the planning, shooting and editing. This unforgettable experience made me want to be involved in the media area more and I am determined to devote myself to it.
Media Studies has taught me how to create music video, film opening sequence, production poster advert and media company logo. Now, I can use final cut HD, iMovie to edit footages and Photoshop to create pictures. My filming skills have improved through shooting the opening sequence in AS and music video in A2. Furthermore, a large amount of analysis in media has improved my English a great deal.
I am an active person with many hobbies and interests. First of all, I have played the piano since I was three years old, which enlightened my musicality. As a drummer I had my own band before moving abroad to study. Performing with my band on the stage was one of the most enjoyable things in my life. A good band needs teamwork so that I have learned to cooperative with others as well as how to communicate with others and solve difficulties by ourselves. In May, my friends and I formed a band in order to present a show to celebrate a graduation party for second year students. Playing the piano and drums has developed my musicianship.

    I believe that I can accomplish any obstacle that stands in my way and I’m not going to let anything stop me. There have been numerous times this year and last year where I have been the leader and I have stepped up for “The Band” and “My Section” because of the love I have for it. For example: All the trombone “fanfares” and movements have been my ideas and I have collaborated my ideas with the other members of my section which have led to success during the football games. Another example is when the band was entered into the martin Luther king parade (2010) and Mr. Green needed people to stay after and develop a dance routine for the band with alumni and others. I was one of the volunteers to stay and help out which was a great idea because I was able to bond with the alumni and other older college students to get their advice and opinions for not only the dance routine but for my life. Another example is when the band was invited to perform for the faith world fundraiser (2010) and Mr. Green needed a student to be a “Fill-in” drum major for that day. I stayed after to volunteer and I was chosen and after that day I worked my butt off to help Corrine and assist her with the dancing for the performance which was a success for us and the band. Last year was my first year of…

    Marching Band Strength

    Marching band is analogous to a machine. All of the components must properly function in order to complete a certain task. Therefore, each member should possess dedication in order to produce a triumphant show and capture the audience’s attention. If one member fails, the whole organization collapses. Through these experiences, I learned that determination and dedication contributes to a successful lifestyle. Otherwise, dreams could never exist.…

    Chapter 5 covers many examples of why the media treats children as a special audience. Potter first explains that children have a lack of experience and maturation with the media. He underlines the importance of a good elementary education for gaining more experience, being educated, and aware of certain media messages. Children have a lack of maturation which is why Potter clarifies that there are certain things a child can learn at certain ages in their lives. The author emphasizes that cognitive, emotion, and moral development are vital for children from a media literacy perspective. Once the media recognized the impact of certain content portrayed to children had, TV and advertising regulated this explicit content. Potter discusses about…

    I bought a drum set and watched YouTube videos to teach myself how to play. I joined the concert band in fifth grade and continued to take it as a class until sophomore year in high school. I also played in the jazz band for four years, the pep band for five years, and the show choir for two. The feeling I got in my stomach when I was up to bat in a baseball game was the same butterflies that I got when I played music with a group. The difference between baseball and playing the drums was that my hard work did not go unnoticed. Music is a universal language that brings people together, and nobody sits on the bench. Music was a healthy alternative for me because it taught me that everyone should be accepted and…

    As for character of what I would bring to the band, I am laid back and easy going but I can be very strict when I need to. Whenever we aren’t doing something I usually chat or goof off, but when it’s time to begin, it’s time to settle down, so I center my focus and get right to work trying to get everyone to fall into line. I am very dedicated to music and band so there wouldn’t have to be any worries with my responsibilities for the band. Also, I don’t play any sports or do anything besides choir and band all year with the exception of musical in the spring and diff and AP…

    Ever since I stopped playing the piano, I yearned to learn a new instrument. After testing out a wide range of instruments from the trombone to the guitar, I finally found one that fit my personality: the clarinet. Then over the years, I started to learn the different techniques to better my playing, all while performing with the Kansas City Youth Symphony, school band programs, and the spring musicals. But as the curtain fell for the last time on the musical my freshman year, the District Music Festival was looming just around the corner.

    As somebody who always had trouble fitting in in school, it was really hard to find a place of which I could be a part of. I joined band in middle school, and I enjoyed playing greatly, even if I wasn’t the most talented saxophone player in the program. I wouldn’t say I was passionate about it at the time, but band certainly was a fun and [something] experience, learning to play music with my friends. Through my three years of middle school at Southeast Bulloch, I travelled from second-to-last chair placement in 6th grade to 2nd chair placement in 8th grade. For a lonely, shy middle schooler, it meant a lot to me to have an activity I was good…

    Immediately wanting to join the band, I knew the only obstacle in my way would be convincing my parents. After all, neither one of them is musical in any way. At dinner that night, it was obvious that they were skeptical and not too keen on the idea of hearing the banging of a drum set in their home, but they ultimately gave me the chance to pursue this new-found passion. At that time, none of us could have imagined the impact that this decision would have on my life moving forward.…

    The band has been an integral part of my life since I joined back in 7th grade. I’ve had several hobbies over the years, but band is one of the few activities that have sparked my interest. It has created an environment where my strengths can positively shine. Without band I’d have a much less impressive student life. The band program has given me most of the friends that I have today, and that is something I couldn’t replace. The band is by far the most important aspect of my high school career, and I really feel that it is a highly positive stepping stone in my life.…

    Jazz Application Essay

    As section leader of the clarinets at Mukwonago High School’s top band ensemble, I am expected to guide my section to success. I lead sectionals and help the other clarinet players with high notes and intricate rhythms. We go over how our parts connect with each others and how they connect with other sections in the ensemble. Aiding younger members of my section helps both me and them to grow musically. I also help lead our jazz combo at school. In a team effort, we express our ideas on phrasing and how we can evoke emotion through the notes and rhythms to the audience. When we share our thoughts and ideas with each other, we promote a friendly and accepting atmosphere that we then take to our other classes. In our marching band I may not be section leader, but I lead by example as one of the strongest mellophone players. By memorizing my music and executing my location in our formations, I set myself and those around me up for success. With all of this teaching and performing experience, I am ready to move on to…

    Working in the field of post-production is my aspiration and I would like to pursue this dream through studying film production. Studying media during my GCSEs gave me an insight into film and expanded my knowledge greatly and gradually made me realise about my true passion for video editing. During the study, I had my first experience of filming and editing a music video, which has enormously increased my knowledge on film and editing and I knew I did not want to stop there. Studying on the film production course, will not only allow me to specialise in a video editing career but it will also help me develop my creative production skills and knowledge.…

    The Abs Tour

    I was amazed on how I now percept media industry after we went to ABS-CBN for a studio tour which aims to educate us all about the ground that some of us would take in the future. The tour started with a short introduction about the network ABS-CBN, a video clip was played showing its achievements as being one of the first successful networks in Asia. We are all guided to different studios used in shows. One of those was Studio 10, as our tour-guide said this studio was definitely the largest studio in ABS. It was also the studio where “ASAP 2012,” a musical show every Sunday and “Maalala mo kaya,” was aired. It was expounded that the reason why there are many different kinds of Lights in a studio is to contribute effects and texture to a show as it was viewed by the public on their Televisions screens so we can’t deny the fact that these are essentially a part in order for a show to run successfully. We are also brought to studio 7 where news shows like “TV Patrol,” “Bandila,” and “News Patrol,” was aired. The studio was pretty small for the reason that these shows are not necessarily to be joined by audiences but despite of that, this studio has more complete equipments and facilities compared to others and take note they also have a human-sized ipad which they use for making stimulating reports. And last but not the least as the part of our expedition we are made as the audience of the live airing of the show “Showbiz Inside Report.” I’ve learned a lot from the tour conducted, first media is not that an easy work because you need to sacrifice time and effort, even though these can be hindrances for your early success but also in these field you can only develop yourself to the maximum for improvements that can be used as edge in…
