Hi there!
My name is Alina and over the next couple months I will be undertaking the subject BCM111 (Global Media) as a part of my Bachelor of Communication and Media.
So far, one thing this subject has made me consider is how global I am, and I’ve realised that whilst I consider myself (sorta) worldy, in reality I have sorta lived in a bubble most my life. Whilst, I have been lucky enough to travel overseas I’ve only really experienced other countries as a tourist.
However, this is something I look forward to changing, and I’m sure I’m not alone in dreaming of travelling around the world one day.
So far I have ticked off: Thailand, Fiji, Hawaii, England, Wales, Italy and France. Next on my list of dream travel destinations would have to be Greece, Croatia, the Maldives and French Polynesia.
Can you tell I like warm weather?
As for my global media consumption, unfortunately it’s pretty limited. (Which is definitely something I plan on changing.)
I have however, always loved French films.
Here’s some of my favourites, have you seen any of them?
- Life is Beautiful
- Amélie
- The Intouchables
- Belle et Sébastion (1 & 2)
- Coco Chanel
- Les Chorists
- Amour et Turbulances
- La Vie en Rose
I’m aware this list is quiet small, and I look forward to exploring more foreign films, are there any you would recommend?
That’s enough about me though, I want to hear about you!
So, how global are you?
