What subjects should I do at A-level?

Hi, originally I was considering doing photography, film studies and English literature as my 3 a-level subjects but now I'm not sure whether doing both photography and film studies would be too much work? I'm currently doing textiles for GCSE and I've been enjoying it but I do sometimes find it quite overwhelming. I think I'll be more interested in subjects like photography and film because I think I'm slightly better at digital work rather than sewing, knitting, painting etc. In the future I would love to be a music photographer or a journalist so I thought photography would be quite a relevant subject! Please let me know what subjects you would recommend doing and how you've been finding a levels in general! Thank you x

Yeah as the other person said another facilitating subject would look good on any application and also keep your doors open for something in the future. If you're good at maths and enjoy it, it's definitely a subject to consider because a couple of arts degrees require it for certain technology based subjects. Have a look at all the uni/apprenticeship courses you'd be interested in and see what subjects they require/would like. :smile:
