My blog

Welcome to my blog

Name: Joe Panton

Age: 16



As the world changes around us, so do I. From a younger age, all I ever wanted was to stay at home and play games, and then all I ever wanted to do was go to the park or playground with friends, then it was a mixture of the two. What I wanted to do never really consisted of learning about film, television and the media... until that changed too. As I became more analytical through GCSE with subjects such as History and English and even through watching my favorite team Chelsea, I started to enjoy picking apart the work of others, evaluating the good and the bad. The ideas were never few in between but putting it onto paper was perhaps an issue, something which I look forward to improving in A Level.

What also changed was my outlook on film and the effort that goes into great pieces within the art as I found great satisfaction in examining what directors cleverly produced and obviously in just watching for joy! I always found gaming great for escaping the stresses of school, finding endless amusement  in games such as 'Call of Duty' (a long time ago) but also games which make you think such as the Fallout series, or more recently 'The Last of Us', before resorting to more mayhem and madness in 'Grand Theft Auto V'. All the while getting into television programs such as my favorite gut-wrenchingly-dramatic 'Breaking Bad' and then the simple gut-wrenching action packed 'The Walking Dead'. But I also admire great pieces of film, with my favorite director being Tarantino for his often humorous yet vigorously entertaining and currently learning more about others such as Stanley Kubrick for his plain weirdness! I love the use of motifs in film and television and yet also love things which are eye catching and just look cool.

Really, I look forward to finding out exactly what I can do in media studies.
