What got me into media?

I have always been interested in how films are made. I can remember when I was around 11 or 12 every Sunday morning on BBC2 there was a programme presented by Jonathan Ross called 'Film' and I would always get up to watch it to see behind the scenes of the latest films. 


Later on when I was around 15 I started watching alot of horror films and there was one horror film that caught my eye more than the others. George A. Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' was in my opinion the first real zombie film, it had gore, it had proper zombies that eat flesh not brains and it was later followed by 5 sequels which were all as good as the first. Romero's zombie films are more or less what gave me the idea of making my own films. I love zombies and I love films so I thought I could possibly make my own zombie series later on in my life.

But what finally made me want to take the course was a guy on Youtube called Freddie Wong. He creates his own VFX videos and teaches his viewers how to do it all on his second channel. This is what really made me want to go for it. Learning how to create your own explosions, gun shots, Sci-Fi stuff, backgrounds and a whole other load of cool stuff all on a computer. Definitely the sort of thing I want to do. So here I am, doing media at college and one day hopefully I'l make my own movie.

Thanks for reading.
