Toby Baring

Hi, my name is Toby Baring I am 16 years old and I am currently studying for my AS mediastudies qualification at Hurtwood House in Surrey. This subject is new to me yet i have always been deeply interested in the film world and how exactly films are constructed. I am taking biology, chemistry and geography along with media so it was a bit of a punt but i thought it would be a really great thing to do considering my interest in the area. After school my dream is to go to medical school and become a surgeon. You're probably thinking why i'm doing mediastudies if i could have chosen physics or psycology maybe, but the truth is i believe in doing the subjects that one really likes not the ones that one is good at yet finds deeply boring.

I love to watch a wide variety of film genres and appreciate all films ranging from indie classics to modern day comedies. My favourite film of all time has to be the blues brothers shot in Chicago during the mid 80's, I still remember the first time my mum put it on and insisted that my brothers and I would love it and sure enough we did! Dan Arkroyd as 'Elwood Blue' was awesome he had us laughing our heads off as we sat watching the classic, I think it must have been how outrageously behaved he was that made it so great for me!
