Introduction

 My name is Faith Folkes and I am a Junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. Media Studies was a class I found an interest in because of the high technology use required. As a person invested into our 21st century technology, the idea of learning new aspects of it, sparked a fire within me. As a student who will embark on their career journey soon, studying a variety of professions keeps me open minded to what might come my way. Through Media Studies I aspire to learn how to make aesthetically pleasing visuals for audiences. I enjoy journaling my life through video to see progression and improvements. Inspiring motivational videos always make me feel invincible and encouraged. I am also excited to go through the process of producing film to gain a first person point of view on how the experience is. I know it is very difficult to be a creator in the film world. Being able to share slightly similar experiences to film professionals will be very knowledgeable to me. Furthermore, I am excited to soak up understanding from my teachers and establish great relationships with them. Throughout this experience I know they will be my back bone and I am ready to conquer the road ahead. As for progression, my expectations for myself are to stay productive, determined, and upbeat. I know having a great attitude towards a goal will be the best thing for myself as I do not want to induce additional stress upon me. As for the ending result of this project, I expect myself to be happy with what I accomplished. I plan to carry what I learn into my life by journaling. I would also love to utilize what I master to instruct others. In all, I am ready to learn about all the aspects of media and film. I know this class will be beneficial. Who knows what this might lead too?
