One of the main aims of my EPQ is to ensure I have the skills required o access higher education, as I aspire to study Media Studies, and eventually plan to go onto teaching the subject due to the vast inspiration I have had from teachers I've had over the years (media studies teachers have been the most influential in my subject choices, and have inspired me to become a teacher in the future). The topic I have chosen relates to this subject greatly because the social media habits of children will be a brilliant way of understanding the ways in which generations below me have been affected by social media, so my future in teaching can be backed up with knowledge I have gained through this research. One particular skill I will need to do this is independent research. this is vital to going onto higher education because independent research makes up a large amount of the university courses I have applied for thus far, and so getting in early practice in this field will be extremely useful.
Another skill vital for my EPQ is video production. I do feel I am already quite competent in this skill due to the 4 years of media studies I have already completed, however documentary production is one area which I have not yet practiced. This added challenge of sticking to a serious, documentary style video will definitely help in my aspiration to become a teacher in the future, as one way in which I personally learn is through informational videos shown by my teachers. If I can master this skill and learn to produce my own videos efficiently, I feel I will be able to use this skill in the future to teach my future students.
