About Me

Who am I? Well, my name is Miriam Kershaw, my midd and I'm 16 years old. I started JFS School in year 7 and I am currently in JFS Sixth Form. For my AS levels I chose biology, chemistry, French, dance, and of course media! I know, I'm taking 5, all my friends say I'm crazy.
     I decided to take media for A-level because it looked really interesting, and after having studied dance in years 10 and 11 where I had to look at different aspects of performance, including costume, accompaniment and lighting. We had to answer questions like what does the costume add to the performance, and why was this specific lighting chosen? I already knew that these were aspects that are part of studying media, along with camera angles, sound and the dialogue itself. I like to be behind the camera, I think it's because I like to be creative, I enjoy creating something from nothing! Its fascinating to see what goes on behind the camera as we only ever get to see the finished product, with all the effects added. Watching films is fun but being behind the camera is a new experience that I can't wait to have.
    I love to dance and in my spare time, I take ballet classes. Dance is another way I like to be creative and express myself.
    My favourite film is 'Edward Scissorhands' (directed by Tim Burton), and when I watch it feels surreal, and Depp really makes you esmpathise with the character.
I'm a big fan of boy bands (as cliche as that is) but my favourite band is 5 Seconds of Summer! I think they are a good live band who know how to put on a show.
