My summer
Throughout my summer there were a lot of media texts such as
movies, television programmes and also a lot of music. Although most of the
time I enjoyed the media texts I found a few media texts which seemed to stand
out for me personally.
The first media text that I’m going to talk about is the movie ‘The Maze Runner’ even though I have previously watched it I decided to watch it again to gain a better understanding of the movie, I particularly enjoy the movie because of the strange twist and the challenges that the characters face throughout the movie, throughout the movie I believe the director Wes Ball did a really good job of creating scenes that really left the audience at the edge of their seats. I also think that the various use of shots in the movie, such as match on action cuts as it allows an action packed scenes to flow much smoother and it allows the audience to gain a bigger variety of detail used in that specific scene when they are running through the maze as they are running from monster/robots this signifies that it is a dystopian future.

Other media texts also stood out to me such as music throughout my summer i listened to a lot of music but the music i enjoyed listening to this summer is most of Drakes album as most of the songs has summer vibes i also enjoyed the album as every song is sampled from another artist, mainly old songs even though the original songs were not appealing to me Drakes album seemed to work with the sampled instrumentals.I also enjoyed listening to DJ Khaled's album as it featured a lot of famous artists such a Kodak Black.
As i was on holiday throughout my summer i listened to a various amount of Mauritian music i really liked it because it gave me an idea of what my parents listened to as children, not only did it allow me to do that but it allowed me to engage with my culture and realise that people should keep their ears open to all types of music because you might like it.The music was really upbeat and was it was really fun to watch the different kind of dances that could
Another media text i have enjoyed is the series on Netflix called 'The Get Down' i enjoyed it as i can relate to it as the people are around my age i found it relatable as they are just kids trying to have fun. I also found it enjoyable to watch as the themes denoted were very interesting such as family life, music culture and problematic areas in America in the 1980's. This is also a very good series as it features Shameik Moore who also plays in Dope and he is one of my favourite actors.It also featured ASAP Rocky who is a very well respected artist to me.
