I was talking to Greg Dyke the other day - no, honestly (well, it was a year or so ago actually. He and I played football together at university) - about a similar topic. If I translate what he said to me, by far and away the best thing you can do is to find either a broadcaster or a production company and go and work for them (for free) every hour God sends. That's more likely than the right choice of GCSEs to get you where you want to be. Yes, you'll be making the tea and sweeping the floor - but you'll get to observe and, if you're lucky, someone will take you under their wing. Other than that, I'd have thought the key things would be media studies (obviously), art - and after that, subjects that will make you a broader person capable of understanding not only the big picture (pun intended) but all the details: subjects like business studies, politics, English, history, geography - a film maker or editor, I would think, would need to be as well-rounded as possible. IT would probably also be useful. Note: the above are just educated guesses, for what they're worth, and perhaps no different to what your careers teacher would tell you. Good luck.
