In my free/spare time I have some hobbies that I do. This includes a lot of sport including playing basketball and football for local clubs and participating in competitive games. I have been doing this for around 10 years now. My media interests are anything really.

If I wanted to go and read a paper the one that I would go and pick up is usually the Eastern Daily Press (E.D.P), as it is one of the papers that tells us more about the area and around it that we live in, but I would usually turn straight to the back page to see what was happening in the sporting world as I am quite a sport associated person. I prefer to look at news on the internet as it is more up to date and can be updated at any second whereas the newspaper has to wait till the next day to get out its news. I tend to read magazines that include my favourite sports or something that interests me. One of these is called ‘SLAM’ magazine. This is about the current affairs in the basketball world.

The radio stations I listen to vary between 2. They are radio 1 and kiss fm. I listen to these two stations as I like many different of genres of music. I like any sort of music from Rap to Rock. I used to belong to a band in which my role was the bass player. I sometimes access my music of the internet and sometimes end up buying cd’s out of stores. I think that illegally downloading music is wrong as it violates the respect for the artist and the music industry.

Technology I think has changed the world completely. It has defiantly made communication a lot easier for everyone with the use internet and mobile phones. It also has made accessing music and films a lot easier as well.

My favourite television channels probably have to be channel 4 and most of the sky sports channels like espn. My favourite TV genre is sports as I am considered to be a sporty person. I think one of the funniest advertisements on television at the moment is probably the natural confectionary company with the small animal sweets. The most memorable television programs to me are ‘Friends’, ’The Simpsons’ and ‘futurama’.

My favourite genre of film would probably have to be action as they are packed with excitement and keeps you entertained throughout the film. Of this genre my favourite films would have to include ‘die hard 4.0’ and ‘Transformers’. I find these two the best in there category as everything fits together from the soundtrack to storyline. I prefer to watch films at the cinema as it has a better surrounding for sound especially watching action films.

I can say that I have not watched any films that have offended me or that I know of anyway at this point in time. I chose media for an option as it is something new and have not done before and thought it maybe interesting as it fits in with some of my other subjects.
