A log of media exposure during 24 hours

Hello everyone!

This is my Foundation portfolio for my AS level Media studies. I am really enjoying Media studies at Ringwood so far, and i can't wait to get into it more. On this blog, I will be posting updates from my pre-production to post-production and how everything is going.

My First Assignment was to write a log of what and how much media I am exposed to on a typical day. I Chose to do a school day because it is the most common type of day for me. This Particular day was a Tuesday.

7.00am- Alarm clock went off, and played the local radio station.

7.30am- Had the local radio station on whilst i ate my breakfast.

8.00am- Left to go to school with my ipod on.

9.00am- Checked my Email in registration at school.

1.00am- Went into town at lunch time and saw a few posters and adverts on Buses and on walls.

1.30pm- Did some research on 'wikipedia' for famous photographers for Photography lesson.

3.30pm- Waited for the bus and saw lots of film adverts on the sides of buses and on the bus shelters.

3.50pm- Got on the bus and looked out the window at all the posters on lamp posts, and shop windows.

4.10pm- Got home and turned on the music channel on the TV.

4.30pm- Checked my Facebook, Emails, Films on in the cinema, Twitter, watched YouTube videos and checked prices for 'The last song' DVD on Play.com, Amazon and HMV.

5.00pm- Completed my homework and this involved research on the Internet.

6.30pm- Ate my dinner with the news on in the background.

7.00pm- Flicked through the 'Whats on TV' Magazine and had 'Emmerdale' in the background on.

7.30pm- Watched 'Eastenders', then watched a pre-recorded episode of 'Grand designs'.

9.00pm- Watched a  'Friends' episode, whilst talking on the phone for 10 Minutes to my Nan.

10.00pm- Read my book for half an hour and texted a few friends.

After writing down every single piece of media i came into contact with, it really shocked me how much media really is in our lives!
