As long as you love me...

You could say that this song is my favourite song at the moment, I really like the dynamics in the song and the rhythm of the song. One critique of the song is that it has a slow pace at the beginning so you don't know what to expect. :)

courageous!

I love this song because it has meaning and it also goes with a great film. It has great dynamics lyrics and vocals. One thing I would critique as a media student is the choice of clothing in the video- the colours are quite dull so they don't stand out as much. The target audience are likely to be adults and older teenagers who like the music type and who would watch the film.

3 Day Media Consumption Diary

29th August-
On the way to Thorpe Park I listened to music and saw billboard advertisements of the road (media by chance). At Thorpe Park the first medium I saw was the Thorpe Park sign. All the rides had music playing on them which was media I heard by chance. One ride I went on also had a video playing to set the scene for the ride which was also media I saw by chance. Another piece of media that I saw was the adverts of all the various food places where we could eat. We had a map with us which is another form of media. Another form of media that I used was the computer.

30th August-
In the car I listened to the radio. There were adverts on the tube on the way to the Christian book shop- not surprisingly I saw books in the shop which are also a form of media. on the street I saw shop advertising their products in the windows and food menus. The theatre had posters of the musical I went to see on the outside. At Piccadilly Circus I saw the famous big advertisements which were by chance. I also used the computer.

31st August-
I listened to the radio whilst I cooked which was media I chose. That day some of the other media I chose were: the computer, my ipod, and reading my bible. Some media I came across by chance were billboard advisements and advertisements by shops.

Why I don't read magazines...

So the answer to the question above is: I really don't know. I loved magazines when I was a kid- especially the Barbie and fairy magazines (Oh the good old days) - I loved the free gifts that came with them!

But growing up, my all time favourite magazine was called "Macko Pusík" and you could say it was similar to Winnie the Pooh.

 I mean I used to think he was the coolest- come on his pet is a blue dog! (Who wouldn't want a blue dog?) You would always find the coolest activities or comics inside; it's a shame because I’m not sure whether they sell this magazine any more.

As for now, I don't really read magazines any more. I guess I just haven’t found one that would really interest me yet. I occasionally pick up a magazine in the shop, but I just choose the one with the most captivating front page.

Manamanam..

This song is a legendary song- I love it! I usually have random moments when I’ll just hum this song out loud- one of the reasons why many people I know think I'm crazy :D

Got to love this.. :)

No good deed! My absolute favourite song from Wicked the musical. I think the vocals are amazing and I LOVE the dynamics and suspense in the song. Personally I think the wicked songs are some of my favourite ever musical songs :)

Me and Music...

Sometimes I wonder how it works that I can remember the whole three verses and the chorus of a song but fail to remember revision notes so easily. In fact, I've always wondered why I love music so much. You see, I am the sort of person who sings anywhere, any time and everywhere and always responds to questions with songs or song lyrics (yes you have permission to feel sorry for my friends :) ). I guess it's safe to say I'm a music addict. In fact, I have been since I was little- I don't know why, maybe my mum sang to me a lot when I was a baby but who knows. See at the age of six I decided I wanted to play the violin and so I stared learning and have been ever since. One thing I really like about the violin is that, when played right, they can make a really beautiful sound like no other instrument. The annoying part however, is that it is incredibly hard to sing and play the violin at the same time. I've always wanted to be like those artists who walk up on stage with their guitar, or head to their piano and play whilst they perform- they make it look so easy. In fact, this summer whilst staying at my grandparents' house, I decided to teach myself how to play a song on the piano. Mission failed! But hey, there's always heaps of other instruments I can give a go :D
