Introduction

 My name is Faith Folkes and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am currently 16 years old and taking Media Studies AS to broaden my understanding of media in the world. During my free time I enjoy making videos of every experience I encounter. Whether it be watching a beautiful sunset or stressing over an essay, I love to capture the moment so that I can reflect on it later on. I am also interested in becoming a YouTuber, meaning that I would post content for viewers to see. All the elements I learn within this course can contribute to many interests that I have. Over the past few months I have worked on multiple projects that have built my media skills and I am very excited to incorporate it into our final task. Now when I am ready to film anything, I naturally integrate the elements I have gained from this class. Before this course I would always record content either up and down or side to side. Now I know that there is specific terminology for those movements called tilt and pan. With this knowledge I am able to share it with others such as friends, family, and co workers. Little improvements like that are what encourage me to endure the next obstacle that I will face. It boosts my confidence in myself and makes me want to work on the project even more. I am also ready to include my constructive criticism that I received on my recent projects. I struggled on procrastinating on tasks so I am willing to work on that and improve greatly. Being presented with this final task allows me to gather every last element that I have learned and make it even better. From filming on my phone to editing on the Movie platform, I feel as if I have grown into a professional film creator. I am ready to teach myself and learn more from this final task. Embarking on this journey will be a once in a lifetime experience. LET'S GO!
