Consumption homework

Magazines - 
The magazine I regularly buy is the 'what's on TV' it is because it is a well known magazine because it gives information about all the latest soaps and gossip on what's going to happen next and as I am a soap addict I love to find out what's going to happen next. I usually read the pages about what soaps I watch e.g. Eastenders and hollyoaks but programmes I don't watch is that I don't read about. 
Television - 
I think I watch about 15 hours a week of television sometimes more if I don't do anything on weekends because I don't watch tv on weekends. I usually watch tv at 6:30 onwards when my programmes usually start. I mainly watch the reality tv show 'keeping up with the kardashians' I have a secret obsession with the kardashian sisters so I love watching their tv show. I normally watch tv alone but if my sisters there she would watch it with me and my cousin sister. If I watch my tv soaps, my mum and aunties watch it with us aswell because once I have it on everyone else gets interested in it too. 
Radio - 
The main radio stations I listen to is 'kiss100, capital and choice FM' I think these radio stations are better than others because they have all the latest songs on and don't have much news in it as I find if the news is on too long it's quiet boring. I think I spend about 6-7 hours a week listening to the radio only because when I'm in the car it's always on otherwise I don't listen to the radio else where. I listen to the radio when I go to school and when I come back and in the evenings if we go out and it's on in the car. Channels I dislike would be 'radio 1 or heart' they don't have any good music I would listen too and 'radio one' is more of an news channel instead of music so I find that quite boring whilst being in the car. I listen to the radio with whoever is in the car with me (whoevers driving) I only ever listen to the radio in the car if we're going somewhere or in my front drive way washing/cleaning the car I would have the radio on. 
Cinema -
This month in cinema I've seen 'the inbetweeners 2' movie. Apart from going to the cinema I watch movies on sky movies or online sites like Netflix etc.. I love watch my horror movies and comedy so I saw 22 jump street and conjuring in cinema but on sky movies I watched 'dispicable me 2 and more' I mainly watch movies with my boyfriend and we both decide to watch films on different days. 
Internet - 
I access the Internet quite a lot because it comes in handy in my everyday life so it's easy to access it on my iPhone. I access it everywhere, at home, on the bus, at school etc. main sites would be on 'google' I would search up 'tfl' to find out when my bus will arrive which comes quite handy and 'youtube' if I want to listen to music, I'm always on 'Instagram, what's app, snapchat and Facetiming' people which is a way I could contact people and speak to them and could be for entertainment.

Why I chose AS media studies

The reason I chose media AS studies was because last year I chose media studies for my gcse's and I really enjoyed it, so therefore I wanted to do it again. In my gcse media, my overall result was a B and now in AS I'm hoping to achieve an A. Also why I chose this is because I'm hoping to improve my photoshop skills and make use of blogger more during the course of the year. Finally I'm hoping to succeed and be more independent in my work.
