@ARMED DEFENSE ARMED DEFENSE mate, you're not gonna get a job commenting hate on other people's videos who actually have jobs. Especially when he has over 6 thousand subscribers, and you have what, 10, is it like a proper account or a joke one, like you. You're tryna hate on him, but your profile pic is a gun and with a name like armed defence, you sound like a twelve year old kid. I know your probs gonna read this and go to your mummy's room and cry, but before you do that, grow a pair, get a job, and move out of your mum's basement. Cause life's not gonna get easier by chatting shit, if you can actually ever get a job, maybe when your old enough, try not to be a dickhead to everyone better than you, you'll get fired pretty soon dipshit

[@rufusgilbery]

ARMED DEFENSE unemployment’s a bitch huh

[@ashtonjones6593]

@ARMED DEFENSE you have a job in security? Yeah right, you couldn't even defend your ass when a 16 yr old kid starts on you. Honestly mate, who do you even work for? Your little brother? It's funny how you take a day to reply to something just so you can see how many comebacks your mummy can think of.(they're shit, btw) the fact that you have to list them so you can tell the difference between them all, paha. Pathetic, you actually have no life mate. Respect people man, actually take time to compliment people instead of dissing them. He's making good videos that actually tech stuff. You want to dis on people, don't do it to people that are trying to help others. Who's that gonna impress dumbass? You're girlfriend you pinky promised you'd stay with?

[@CoffeewithCrew]

It all depends on what you want to do as a career, if you want to be a filmmaker. Such as a director or a camera operator, it’s not going to be a whole lot helpful because in 2019. Only 30% of your course is making films which is how you improve your work. By doing it! There are also only guidelines in filmmaking such as the rule of thirds. In media, they teach you rules that you have to follow to get marks and your original idea has to be the exact same as the project you come out with. This is wrong for filmmaking. Another huge part of media is the representation of gender, in marketing this is important for the huge equality importance now a days however in narrative films you have your fictional characters with any personality you see fit including racism, sexism and anything seen as a misrepresentation of minorities. So for narrative filmmaking, media is largely not important. However it’s also a double barrel because it’s seen as a must to be a filmmaker. I took it and I do regret it however it all depends on what area of media you want to do!

great video! I finished a levels last summer and was at a school where they didn't offer media studies at all - probably because they saw it as a 'mickey mouse' subject. now realising what the subject is i wish i had changed schools and taken it because it sounds facinating and i'd probably like to work in the media industry in the future.. :(

[@twiinsanitygaming9987]

I wanted to ask a question can media studies be useful with business and economic in A level ?

[@joshpantsy1131]

Media studies is not really the most respected subject from university, you should take it only if you really like it or plan to take it at uni. I would suggest to take a facilitating subject like English or maths that would be more appealing to any university, that being said media relates to business and economics as it has to do with audiences and marketing but it is a vocational course rather than academic so chose carefully (I am personally taking it as an a level but I also plan to take at uni)
