Hypothesis (Official)

I think Oriwa and I will have noticeable similarities in our media usage, because we are both the same age, gender, and we have some hobbies/interests in common. We both live in the city, so we are very much what people call 'metropolitans'. I think during the course of two weeks, in which I will be interviewing Oriwa, and she will be keeping a media log, she will interact with music, television, and art. What she will be able to do during the two weeks is limited, because she has is a busy high school student. 

I think Oriwa will definitely read a magazine, most likely a magazine related to fashion, which is one of her preferred interests. She will read it in the weekends, because during the week she will have school work and family issues she needs to attend to. She has alot of things she wants to do, but can't because she has homework, after school programmes. Oriwa is interested in the latest styles and trends, so I predict she will read the Fashion Report in Cosmopolitan, or Marie Claire. Oriwa will also read The Press some time in the week, she likes to be up to date with current affairs. To be precise, she will read the 'World' section in The Press. I don't think Oriwa will be interested in any sports related media, the only sport she attends to is running, but that is just a casual way for her to keep fit. She especially will not be interested in any media to do with Rugby, Cricket, etc. 

During the weekdays, after she comes home from school, Oriwa will probably go on the internet, to view YouTube videos. I think she will watch video to do with baking, as that is one of her passions. I don't think Oriwa will use any social networking sites like Facebook in the weekdays. Facebook is only one of her minor interests, and the fact that she has to share a computer with her siblings limits the time she can go on the internet. On a Friday afternoon, Oriwa may go to the mall, and watch a recent movie showing at Hoyts movie theatre. On occasion Oriwa enjoys a good movie, and I think that she will watch an animated feature (for example the animated movie Rango). 

When she has time in the afternoons, Oriwa will play on her XBox 360° (game) console, or create some digital pictures, since she is interested in art. This is what I think she will be engaged in, in her leisure time. If she plays a video game, it will probably be Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars, because Oriwa is interested in asian culture.
