Simon Hall

Today in our lesson Simon Hall, who is the BBC's crime correspondent for the South West, came into our class to talk to us about his own experience in journalism as well as offering us advice on other areas in media careers. After listening to his talk it made me think about what I want to do in the future and what a career in journalism would be like even though it wasn't something I had ever considered before, but he was very passionate about what he does. He was telling us just how influential the media is on our everyday lives, especially nowadays when it's everywhere and people are constantly being updated with whats going on around the world. Because of this is was something for us to think about when it came to our own film openings and the influence it can have on those who watch it as you are portraying characters.
