What grade are you realistically hoping to achieve in Media?

                        I'm aiming to achieve at least an A/B this year.

What was the last TV programme or film you watched?

The last film I watched was ‘Love and Basketball’. This movie was very romantic yet had elements of sports, besides it being an old movie it was enjoyable.

Why do you think that TV programme or film appealed to an audience?

I think Love and Basketball appeals to an audience (mainly young sports players of both genders) because it is about sport and romance which some audiences find appealing to watch. Also the language that it used appeals to a certain audience which makes it enjoyable for them.

What technology have you used to access the media in the last 24 hours? (Radio, TV, phone etc.)

I have used my phone (mainly), watched the TV, used my tablet and I've been on the computer. 

What device do you use most to access the media?

                  I use my phone the most to access the media because it is always on me wherever I go which makes it easier to access the media.

What is the main news story on the BBC News website currently? Why do you think it is the main story?

The main story on the BBC News website is the article about campaigners losing the right to die. I think this is the main story on this website as it is very important as many people should have the right to die and unfortunately they have lost the right to do so.

What is the main news story on the Guardian website (guardian.co.uk) currently? Why do you think it is the main story?

The main news story on the Guardian is Updates about the world cup. I think this is the main story on the guardian website because loads of people watch the world cups and want updates on ones that they possibly haven’t seen so it is the top story because loads of people are interested in it.
