My Name is Rio, and i have recently embarked on a three year Media professional course. I have started this course having not studied Media as a whole subject before, maybe briefly coming across it in English throughout my time at secondry school.. however i did take A-levels in Theatre studies, English Language/Literature and Texstiles which i believe are subjects you have to have great creativity in. My past consists mostly off Dance & Drama, competeting in dance competitions since i was 2 and acting on stages including the bluecoat theatre, however i was also very interested in the running off these productions, i thought it interestting to understand how a show could be put together. Which brings me on to the world of fashion, i love watching catwalk shows and seeing the latest collections and how not only the clothes but the whole production has been put together, which is something that can now be done with digital media through online catwalks. I like watching these shows when designers put them on their sites or bloggs as you get to see what is up and coming before it hits the shops...which is always a plus!
I was introudcued to it at a very young age as my parents have friends who run CREAM which is an old nightclub that now only holds events but also has the biggest dance festival in the UK so i have always been interested in the media. From the age of about six i have wanted to be a television/radio broadcaster therefore i decided to take it upon myself to get into the world of broadcasting. For about a year now i have been producing at KCC Live, which is a radio station located in Knowsley for the community, there i do voice overs which broadcast for the range of shows and promotions they have on the station. I am also preparing to produce my own show, i dont really know what the show will consist of as off yet but im thinking about a show that can relate to people with a range age of like 16-20, i would like to share my intrests with people and also just get people chatting and make them want to hear more off me on the station. What do i want to get out of this course?.. well i would really like to gain more knowledge in the media, i belive i have alot more to learn about how the industry works! I have experience in editing, but i would say it was very basic so my main aspect is to become and editing pro as i believe that could be my first challenge - hopefully! ....aswell as gaining this knowledge i also want to be able to contribute to the course and share any ideas i have for certain things with everyone....
