Editing blog for music video

      Hey guys it's Aniyah, again! Today my group and I edited our music video. While we were editing it made me realize how fast time is going by because I remember the day when we were choosing our song for the video as if it was yesterday. I vividly remember how eager we were to work as a group again and to choose our song together.. But it's time to stop thinking about the past and continue and to get you, the readers, caught up on the present. First and foremost, we dumped all our footage from the SD card into the computer. Instead of using Pinnacle Studios, we used iMovie on Stephanie's computer. We did this because, her laptop is faster than the school computers and iMovie seems to work better than Pinnacle Studios. For the commercial project we started to use Pinnacle Studios, but we ended up using iMovie and it gave a great result with our last project. Once everything was set up, we watched all our takes and picked our shots to use for the video.

      When we started editing, we all decided to take turns and let people do certain things in the editing process. There were a few problems trying to get the footage from the SD card to her computer. iMovie is different from Pinnacle Studios in some ways, so we were still trying to get the hang of it. The issues with her computer did take a lot of our time and it was a little frustrating, but we were patient because we have overcome issues like this before. Eventually, Stephanie fixed the problem and it allowed us to continue editing. Stephanie took care of the first step in our process. She took the lead in choosing what shots we should use in our video with Lily's and my assist. Also, she cut certain shots because the video was too long when we chose what shots we are going to use. Next, we were looking for what sounds to use in our video. We wanted to put in sound effects to really bring the video to life. 

         Lily took responsibility of step two of our editing process. She added the sound effects to certain parts of the video and made sure it fit with the scene. Than I took the lead in the last part of our process. First, I checked to see is Stephanie or Lily may have missed something in their part of what they were supposed to do. Then, I made sure the video ran smoothly and made sure there was no choppiness. I left class early because my mom had to pick me up, so I could to my doctor's appointment. I didn't get to finish my whole part in the process, but I still completed a lot. Before I left, I looked at the finished product and it looked great! I am proud of my group for making, yet another, successful project. Thanks for reading and happy blogmas!

Film Blog, the second and last day of filming

         Hey it's Aniyah, again! Today's blog is going to be interesting because film day number two was very interesting and filled with a lot of twists and turns. Initially, the video was supposed to be filled with beach props and we invited extra people to include in the video to make it more exciting. The plan did not go as expected because we depended on a lot of people to show up and bring some of the props we needed. But, the day we filmed was on a Sunday and usually people are busy with church. Which was one of the main reason why people come. We didn't get mad, because we totally understood and respected that reason. Other reasons why people couldn't come was because their parents didn't want them to come because they said it was too last minute and the some of parent did not know our parents. I was able to show up, but I came late because the beach we went to is far from where I live and I was busy with family business. I was still able to participate in the filming of our video, but I could not contribute as much as I would have liked to in the video because of my injury.


       With my injury and my crutches I am limited to do certain things. I was not able to get in the sand with my crutches because that would have been a disaster. I filmed some of the shots from the sidewalk and Stephanie filmed the shots on the sand. I was watching Stephanie from a distance and from my perspective she was doing really well. She made sure the lighting went well with her angles and shots. I guided her through some parts to make sure we followed the storyboard correctly and to make sure we were timing everything correctly. I was not surprised on how well she was doing, because she did most of the filming for our commercial project and we executed all our angles and movements with great progress. Our pan shots were amazing, especially with the lighting complimenting our shots. We added extra things to the video, so that there could be more than expected. We added a shot of the seagulls, so we can add a background sound of birds to the video.


         I suggested that they dramatically jump and dance into the water for the last scene. This was just another way to add to the theme of summer fun behind the song. Even though I was not able to fully participate, I still enjoyed being there and I am very impressed with our progress. I admire how despite the unexpected circumstances, we were able to push through and complete our work with great progress. A similar situation happened with our commercial project, where a lot of bumps in the road came up out of nowhere. But, as a group, we were able to overcome those situations and execute our work perfectly. I am grateful to have a determined, reliable, and cooperating group to work with because we are all determined to get our work done and we can all easily learn from each other and depend on each other. This has been another great working experience and I look forward to completing more great work with my group. Thanks for reading and blog you later!

Film blog, the first day filming at the beach

       Hey, it's Aniyah again! On the first day of filming, my group and I met at the beach to film our music video. We met at Hollywood Beach. When we got there it started to rain a lot. We couldn't film at first because we didn't want to get the equipment went. The rain ruined the background we wanted to get for our music video. We wanted to have a nice and sunny day filled with people having fun in the background to match the theme of the song. Even though the rain eventually cleared up, it was still very cloudy and gloomy outside. I am currently injured, so I can't do everything we planned to do as a group.

       Because I'm injured I am limited to do stuff, which is very upsetting. Luckily, my group was there to comfort me and let me know that everything would be okay. I didn't get to be in the video, but I was able to help with recording. It was not easy recording, because the lighting was not the best and it did not help give off summer vibes. We did not get all the good footage that we wanted to get. We still took some footage, just in case if another interruption happens and we are not able to get good film again. We also did not have a tripod, so that did not make the process any easier. We couldn't get the steady pan shots we needed for our music video. Without the tripod, we also couldn't get steady tilts like we wanted for the video. That is okay, because we adapted with what we could work with and we adapted well.

      I am very happy with myself, because of how much my filming skills have improved since the commercial project. Doing these projects is helping me remember the names of different shots, angles, and movements. It has helped me how to execute certain shots and angles properly. Because of this I was able to get some footage with really good angles. Even with the lighting being not that great, my improved angle skills have improved that. We are planning to meet again next weekend to get better footage for our music video. Hopefully it does not rain again causing the sky to be cloudy. If it does we are in the works of coming up with another backup plan. I will have more information in the next blog. Thanks for reading and blog you later!

Storyboard for music video

     Hey it's Aniyah, again! Today my group member was not able to help us form a storyboard because she was busy testing. But Stephanie and I executed the storyboard with great effort. We figured exactly what camera angles, camera shots, and movements we are going to do. We figured exactly what parts of the song we are going to use and what parts we are not going to use. We worked out what we are going to do in the music video and how it will connect to the theme of the song and the music video. The first thing we had to evaluate was what parts of the song are we going to use. In the beginning of the song it sounds very chill, than they go into the first verse, and than it goes straight to the chorus. We decided we are going to cut the first verse and go straight from the the first verse to the chorus.We came to a conclusion that it will be good transition going from a chill sound straight into an upbeat chorus. In the beginning, it is going to be a pan across the beach while the chill sound is going on with a three person shot of Lily, Stephanie, and I. 

      When the lyrics start, the camera is going to switch to a medium shot of Stephanie lip syncing to  few words, than we transition to a medium shot of Lily, and lastly a medium shot of me. When the chorus starts, it will turn into a wide, medium shot of Stephanie, Lily, and I lip syncing and dancing to the chorus. We will be doing a lot movements, since the chorus is very upbeat and all about having fun. We will doing different things to each of the lyrics in the chorus. When the song says "Ride the perfect waves" we will move to the ocean and it will turn into a tilt of us playing in the water. We are going to try to get a surf board or at least a mini surf board to use as one of the props in that shot. Than when the song says "say hi to the sky" we are going to change it to a high angle shot of my group and I laying on the sand and we are going to wave to the sky (technically to the camera). We are doing this because it really matches with the lyrics. Than a long angle shot of my group and I playing and throwing the sand. I have a good feeling the low shot angle will make the shot of the sand being thrown look really good. 

     After that shot, we will move into a zoom shot that will be a close-up shot of me and my group members and than zoom out into a wide shot of us on the beach. This will happen when the song says "It's a bikini wonderland." Than it will changeover to a high angle shot of us running and dancing around the beach and a pan shot of us dancing. This shot will include us dancing with our towels. We will have our background of this shot filled with people so our video can look full and whimsical. Than song ends off with it saying "Summer's on, and we've gone surf, surf crazy" and than there is a lot of instrumentals at the end. We will end it off with a little dance choreography and a nice wide shot of my group and I. We will leave it off with a nice fade out. That's all for today! Thanks for reading and blog you later! 

Planning for music video

    Hello it's Aniyah, again! In my last blog I said that the song my group and I chose was "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child. We came to a decision that it was necessary to change our song. We changed it to "Surf Crazy" from the Disney Original Movie, "Teen Beach Movie." We made this change because it will be easier to cut this sing into 1 minute and 15 seconds. The location of our music video will be on the beach, because the song is about summer fun and the main place people go to hang out during the summer is the beach. My group and I know that the weather can be unpredictable, so in case if it rains or gets too cold our back-up plan is shoot the music video at Stephanie's pool. We really want our music video to be at the beach, because of the lighting and the background. There are always a lot of people at the beach, so we want the background to be filled with people swimming in the ocean, playing in the sand, and running around the beach. With this background it will give emphasis to the theme of the song.

    To make sure nothing unfortunate happens to me or my group members, we are going to shoot near a life guard and our parents will be there supervising us making sure no harm comes our way. We are going to use props to make our video more effective. We are going to bring towels to lay on while we are in the sand. There is a certain part in the song where it says "say hi to the sky" and the in that shot we are going to lay on the ground with our towels and we are going to literally wave at the sky. We are also going to use the towels to dance with them. In the original music video for "Surf Crazy" they do all kinds of different dance moves with beach towels and it really brings attention to the theme of summer fun. We are going to have a big beach ball to use in our video. We are going to use the beach ball for certain shots of where we are running around the beach and having fun. We are also going to be doing certain dance moves with the beach ball. There is going to be a certain shot where we throw the balls in the air and the camera focuses on that.

    We are going to wear outfits that go with the summer theme. We were thinking, what would people normally wear during the summer and at the beach? During the summer, people would usually wear tank tops, t-shirts, sandals and shorts. To the beach, people would normally wear a swimsuit, a tank top, shorts, and sandals. So my group and I decided to wear a tank tops, shorts, and our swimsuits under our outfits. I am going to wear my sunglasses with my outfit, because my eyes are extra sensitive to the sun and they make me and my outfit look super cool. We are going to wear our sandals because the sand is usually very hot. We would not want to make a mistake to wear sneakers and get sand in them. If you get sand in your sneakers to the beach your feet will get extra hot and the sand will irritate your feet. That's all I have today! Thanks for reading and blog you later!

Intro to New Project

        Hello it's Aniyah, again! Today's post is about the end of a chapter and the start of a new one. I have officially completed my commercial. We got an extra day to edit our commercial because we had a few minor difficulties which caused us to not be able to complete our editing. On Monday, my group and I added a voice-over and included a voice-changing app. We had to cut a lot of shots in our commercial because our commercial was a lot longer than we thought it would be. The commercial still came out great, even though we had to cut out all the extra takes. We got all the shots we needed and even though our acting was not the best, we still executed the commercial with great effort. I missed all the fun we had during the commercial, but I am ecstatic to start on the new project we have coming up: the music video project. In this project, my group and I are going to choose a song and create our video to the song. The video has to be about one minute and 30 seconds and we get to film it off campus.

      The song we chose is "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child is a 90's R&B group that includes Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. They had many hits, had a big fan base, and they were a big influence to many people. I have watched the "Say My Name" music video many times and I love every single detail of the video. From the camera angle, to the movements and the pop of color, everything is just fabulous. They have many close-up shots and medium close- shots that really capture the essence of their beauty and spunk. The video is in split screen and has different colors and locations in each scene. The colorful split screens show off their energy and creativity. Every pan of each scene in a room shows the detailed color in each scene. The three person shots emphasizes the power and confidence the group is portraying in the video. 

    Their outfits in each scene are absolutely phenomenal. The outfits show how confident and and spunky they are with their clothes. Their clothes was definitely giving off the "90's vibe."The lighting in the beginning of the video is very bright. It depicts their dazzling personality. Their acting was, without a doubt, on point. You can tell just from looking at the video that they knew what they were doing and that they were very determined in the making of the video. Their makeup was very well put together and it went well with the scenery of the video. The props of the video gave a lot of clarity with the message behind the video. The scenery was honestly amazing and it was also very well put together. The scenery gave a clear picture of the theme behind the video and the song. I am very excited to complete another fun project with my group! Thanks for reading and "blog" you later!  

Editing Blog!

          Hey world, it's Aniyah again! I have wonderful news to share with you. Tuesday, November 5, 2019 was the official day we began to edit our commercials. There were a few technical difficulties in the beginning, but we were able to push through and continue our work with great progress. The first step to begin editing was to get our footage from the SD card to the computer and import it into Pinnacle Studios. But, our SD card went missing so we spent some time searching for it. My group, my teacher, and I went through all the cameras looking for our SD card. It took some time, but we finally found it. As soon as we found it, we jumped to a computer and started working. Throughout the whole process our computer was very slow and it caused my group and I to become very frustrated. Although we were very frustrated, we were still able to work with our computer the best way we could.

         Editing the commercial was very fun. The commercial was definitely very humorous and clever. The computer kept glitching whenever we played one of our shots for the commercial, but it started playing the shots with decency. On Tuesday, we only got about half of the editing out of the way. So far, we picked the shots we are going to use for the commercial. As we were going through our takes, we could not stop laughing at our facial expressions and our acting in the commercial. We got done with putting some of our shots together and we viewed what we got done. The first half of the commercial is very comedic and joyful. I am extremely proud of our filming and how it turned out. I am especially proud of my group member, Stephanie, because she was the main person who was filming and she filmed with very good angles.

        We did a few more things other than cut and put things together. We decided to add a voice-over and background music to the commercial. For the voice-over, instead having our normal voices in the commercial, we are going to change our voice with a voice changing app. We did this to add a little humorous exaggeration into our project. After that we decided what song we we're going to use in the background. We wanted to choose a song that was hype. A song that you would listen to when you are working out. A song that would give a big boost to your energy. We came up with two options after we were done searching for a song. The song I came up with was "Physical" by Olivia Newton. I am really proud of how our commercial turned out. I believe my group contributed equally to the project causing it to be completed with great progress. Thanks for reading and "blog" you later!

     

       

Editing Commercial Project.... NOT

     Hey world! It is Aniyah with another interesting story to share with you. Today I was very all over the place because I had to do so many things with a very limited amount of time, but I still managed to get through it. As soon as I got to my AICE Media class, I had to quickly get a pass, go change into athletic clothes to complete filming for my commercial and go back to class and complete this blog I am doing for you guys. When we got to the field, we had to start shooting all over again because none of the shots we took last time was useful. My group and I was very stressed because we thought we wee going to have to film, edit and blog all in one period. We did our best make every shot as perfect as we could and did not take that many shots of each scene because we had a very short time limit. We were very determined to get it done, so we took everything seriously and there were very little mistakes. I believe my group and I did a very good job because we got a lo of good shots of each scene and I was so excited to get back to class and start filming, but the unexpected happened. Pinnacle Studios is down so we did not have a chance to edit our commercial. because of this  thought I would to be able to get my blog done before the end of class.

     Little did I know that I was wrong. Many of the good computers were taken by other students, leaving me with the computers with no internet and the computers that are very slow. I tried to work withe the computers that are very slow, but it was just taking up too much time. I asked my teacher if could stay a little longer after class, but he said no because my next class was a core class and he did not want me to get into trouble. I waited and waited for a good computer to become available, thankfully, at the last ten minutes of class a good computer became available to me. I already knew exactly what I wanted to type and I am a very fast typist. With that advantage, I was able to get one and a half of a paragraph completed in the ten minutes I had left. Even though I got a lot done, I still had a lot to complete. I got very frustrated and upset, but I calmed myself down by reminding myself everything will be alright and I can always overcome my mistakes. After that I immediately cooled off and thought of ways to prevent myself from  failing this assignment.

    I was considering either staying after class anyways and complete my assignment or got to class, email my teacher and complete my assignment at home. I really wanted to go with the first option, because I hate not finishing my work on time. But, I came to a realization that the second option would get me in less trouble. I went to class with guilt and remorse for not finishing my work on time. I tried to get my mind off if it by distracting myself. My method worked, but the remorse was still stuck in the back of my head. At the end of the day, I quickly snapped myself out of it and reminded myself that I will be alright. I continued my day with delight and enjoyed lacrosse practice. I also made sure as soon as I got home that I would complete my blog which is exactly what I did. I am extremely proud of myself and how I handle my stress. Thanks for reading and "blog" you later.

AICE Media Filming Day!!

     Hey world it's Aniyah! October 24, 2019 was finally filming day, the day I have been so ecstatic to come. That day was hectic but exiting at the same time. My group and I came completely prepared for filming our commercial. We brought all of our necessities for the commercial including props and outfits. We were ready to take as many shots as we needed and get the filming process done nice and smoothly. But, there were many bumps in the road and a few things went south. My group and I got all the stuff we needed, checked out a camera and a tripod, and headed straight to the field to start filming. When we were setting up the tripod and the camera, we were having trouble connecting the camera to the tripod, so we asked another group to help us out. It took us a while to realize the tripod we checked out was missing a piece to connect the camera to it. We lost some time to film, because my friend Stephanie had to run back to the classroom and get another tripod, while Lily and I took the time to learn more about each other and become closer as friends. Stephanie finally arrived with a new tripod and we were eager and ready to begin filming. Lily and I got into position and we set up some of the props where they needed to be, little did we know the camera was about die.

        We tried to work with our dying camera and some shots in but as soon as Stephanie hit record the camera died. Lily and I volunteered to run back to the classroom and get another camera to give Stephanie some time to rest. At that point we definitely knew we were going to have very little time to film. By the time Lily and I got back to the track it was about 12:10 and we had to head back to the classroom by 12:45, so we had to use that short period of time to get in as many takes as we could. My group got some time on Monday to film but that means we have to use that to film and edit. That is going to be a very hectic day, but I believe my group and I have this in the bag. After we set up everything again, we were finally able to begin filming. The first take was of  Lily and I running a curve around the track. I was getting very sweaty and tired  because we had to do many takes and it was very hot outside, but being an athlete I have learned how to build up my stamina. The second shout was of Lily getting exhausted, running off the field, and fainting on the high jump mat. We had to do many takes of this, because we could not stop laughing especially Lily. There was a point in the commercial where I have to say "Oh no!" I tried to say it in a funny voice to add comedy to the commercial, but that was the cause to us laughing nonstop.


After we were able to get all of our giggles out, we continued to the take where I give Lily the Gatorade. We were laughing a lot in this part of the process too, but not as much as we were before. It went smoothly, until I checked the time and it was 12:41. We rushed and finished what we were doing. Lily and I went to the bathroom and got changed into our other clothes, while Stephanie went back to the classroom to return the camera and the tripod. Lily and I were so sweaty and we forgot basic necessities for after filming: lotion, deodorant, and perfume. But we improvised and worked with what we had. The period was almost over and one of us had to stay and dump all of our footage into the computer. Stephanie volunteered to stay and do the dumping process and I had her back told our teacher that she wasn't absent, because we had the next period together. The day was very hectic, but I enjoyed every second especially since I got to spend the day with my team. Thanks for reading and "blog" you later.

AICE Media Storyboard Blog

  Hello world, welcome back to my blog. Today for my AICE Media class we went to the Lecture Hall located at my school. Today's lecture was about critical thinking questions and I found it very  fascinating. My teacher discussed things that we would need to know in the future for our exams. I am very thankful for them providing us with that preparation because I realize not everyone receives that chance. The information they provided us was very helpful towards the assignments and projects we have coming up and for other things in the future.

   The first critical thinking question was about how our product uses conventions.There were two parts to this question: how does it fit typical standards and how it represents marketing groups.
I made sure that me and my group's storyboard answers these question and includes what needs to be included. The second question was about how it engages with the audience. My teacher made a really interesting point, he mentioned that not a lot of people watch commercials anymore. So, I have to think about how my commercial is going to get to the audience and were it is going to air.

  The last two questions were how my product skills have developed throughout this project and how am I going to integrate technology in my project. I am not 100 percent sure on how I am going to answer the question, but I do have a pretty good idea. I know that soon I will come up with a definite answer. With the remainder of class, me and group did some finishing touches on our storyboard. The drawing is not great, but we finished it with great effort. Thanks for reading and "blog" you later!

AICE media editing lecture

       Hello world! Today's lecture was very interesting and I definitely learned a lot today. First, I learned how to use a tripod and a camera (not a phone camera, an actual camera). I already had a little bit of knowledge because I watch a lot of YouTube. But, today's lecture revealed to me the world of editing detail. I learned how to set up a tripod and how a camera works. I was very interested because I never knew there was more to a camera than just recording and taking pictures. After that I learned how to edit for my commercial project. We are going to edit on Pinnacle Studio. At first I was confused because I never knew what Pinnacle Studio was but I was eager to find out. Pinnacle Studio is very similar to iMovie, so I had some knowledge of what was taught. I learned how to insert my SD card into the computer and how to dump in all my footage. My teacher was very detailed and descriptive, which helped me understand the instructions easily.

    After that, I learned how to import the shots from my commercial that I want to use. At this moment, we were getting to the actual editing part of the lecture. There are three AV tracks on Pinnacle Studio. AV Track 1 is where we can put the title. There are many things you can do with your title. You can choose how you want your want your title to appear, how you want your title to look, and where you want your tile to appear. On AV Track 2 is where you build and edit your footage. This allows you to add effects and transitions to your commercial. AV Track 3 is where you can add music and sounds in your footage. I love all of these things you can do on Pinnacle Studio especially on AV Track 3. I am a very visual person, so I adore seeing things come to life through color, acting, and different edits. So I am very excited to jump into the editing process of my commercial. I am also very excited for the filming process. Because there is running involved in my commercial and we are going to have to do many takes, I know I am going to be very tired but I am going to enjoy it at the same time.

    Later, I learned how to save and export after editing my raw footage. The save and export seems like a very simple process. My teacher explained it very well so I most likely should not mess up on this part. She taught us how to render everything. She also taught us how go back and watch our commercial to make sure everything was completely rendered. The whole process of editing, importing, and exporting seems very simple. I am saying that now, but later I will probably take that back. I do not think it will be too bad because I believe my group and I will be handle making the commercial. My group seems very focused and determined on this project, so I have a lot of faith n them to be just as cooperative as I am. Today's class was a very interesting. Thanks for reading and "blog" you later!

AICE media research blog

      Hey world, it is Aniyah...again! The whole day I have been looking forward to starting my commercial project in AICE Media Studies. When Mr. Katz presented the options we have for our commercial I immediately had a little bit of a good idea of what I want to do. I either wanted to do Gatorade, Powerade, or FLHS. I am an athlete so I decided to do Gatorade or Powerade. I am very excited to get started on my project, but the only thing I am worried about is how I am going to do this whole project by myself. I usually prefer to do assignments by myself because I do not always trust people with certain things. But this project definately would be easier with a group. I hope I will be able to come out of my comfort zone and make new friends in my class.

 So far I did some research for the my commercial project but first I had to figure out what I wanted my commercial to be about. I chose Gatorade, because I am an athlete who loves her Gatorade especially the blue one. I also chose it because it contains electrolyte which can help your energy when it is low. So I watched some Gatorade commercials and I noticed a pattern the Gatorade commercials that I watched. They all include an athlete and/or an athletic setting. This gave me an idea to include an athletic setting in my commercial. I ran track for three years so I absolutely love track which gave me the idea to have a track field as my setting. I thought this was a very smart idea so I gave myself a round of applause.

     A lot of athletes get dehydrated from time to time and sometimes it causes them to faint. So I also thought it would be a good idea to incorporate dehydration in my commercial. I do not have a full idea of what my commercial is going to be yet but I know I  already have clear idea of what I want it to look like. I also have personal experience with dehydration, so I believe my experience will help me create a great project!! That is all I have for you today! "Blog" you later!

AICE Media Planning Blog

            Hey, I am Aniyah and I am back with a new blog and new interesting information. I decided it's better to work as a team on my commercial project so I joined Stephanie and Lily and now we are working together as a group. So far is has been really fun working with them. They did a great job welcoming me to the group. We all work very well together, it became very easy for us to put our ideas together and create a plan and back up plan for our commercial project. They encourage me to come out of my shy comfort zone and I am so grateful for that. We researched different Gatorade commercials over facetime and brainstormed ideas. Our final idea is that we are going to do a Gatorade commercial. Lily and I are going to pretend we are track runners and Stephanie is going to be our track coach. Lily and I are going to run around the track and Stephanie is going to be yelling at us to get a faster time. Than, Lily is going to faint from dehydration. I immediately run to my bag to grab a Gatorade and I run back to Lily, she sniffs the Gatorade and regains consciousness, but she is still on the floor. Lily takes a full sip of Gatorade and she gets a boost of energy and runs down the track and gets a great time. Stephanie and I will congratulate her for her victory and we all celebrate by drinking Gatorade.

PROPS:
Gatorade bottle(blue)
Whistle
towel

COSTUMES:
Two pairs of gym shorts

Introduction 

  Hello, my name is Aniyah and I am a freshman student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am in the Camebridge magnet program, so I consider myself to be a very smart person. But I am also very humble. I am the type of person who likes to create plans for myself. I really want to get accepted to the University of Florida because I heard its one of the best colleges in Florida. I have a strong feeling Fort Lauderdale High School's Camebridge program will improve my chances of getting in. I am hoping University of Florida will also improve my chance of becoming a screenwriter. I love creating imaginative stories in my head and bringing them to life by putting them in words. When I am older I hope to bring them to life visually and put it on television to share it with the world. I do not have a lot of knowledge about the world of film, which is why I joined Aice Media to expand my understanding of film. It is evident that I am a very outgoing and creative person.

I want to be one of the most successful screenwriters in America. I want to be very successful not only for myself, but also for my family. Because my family has done so much to provide for and I want to make sure that they know all the energy that they have invested in me will not go to waste. I would consider myself a very family oriented person. My family has done their best to take of me and make sure that I do good in school and they are extremely supportive of me. They teach me right from wrong, good manners, and they teach me not to take education for granted because it will be very beneficial for me in life. My family is the main reason why I am a very humble, smart, and kind person towards people. I am also very extroverted. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family. I love going the movies, the mall, and the pool with my friends and family. Some of my favorite places to go are amusements parks: Disney World, Islands of Adventure, and Six Flags.

My mom and I went to a lot of amusements parks when I was younger, we especially went for the roller coasters. I also love going to the beach and lying under sun, especially with my friends. I have a strong desire to travel around the world when I am older and visit other beaches and amusement parks at other countries. I consider myself a very cultural person. I am extremely interested in learning more about other cultures and religions. I love exploring and learning different things, so I hope I get to complete those goals later on in my life. When i get older and explore the world I will also write about them and hopefully that will expand my creativity. Hopefully it will also expand my knowledge and give me a whole other perspective about life. In conclusion, I am very outgoing and creative person.
