Introductory

Hello there I am Kai Lobban! Although I'm fourteen years old and a sophomore in high school I have many goals and aspirations set for myself. Regardless of my young age, I have always worked too hard to achieve success. With that drive, AICE Media Studies has caught my attention. As a child, I have always found the process of production and filming fascinating. I spent time looking at the behind-the-scenes of many films and movies to see how the production undergoes. My favorite behind-the-scenes clips to watch were always Marvel Movies. Most of my free time went into being a YouTube. Where I spent hours learning how to film and edit like some of my favorite influencers and nitpicking at any flaw in my editing. Although I wasn't a big sensational hit I enjoyed watching the final product of my videos. I felt somewhat satisfied to see my handwork pay off. While taking this class I'm ready to fully understand and comprehend different terms and vocabulary used while filming. With this newly obtained knowledge recognizing the use of different editing in upcoming movies and tv shows will come with ease. During this course, I have already learned the use of sound in movies and how it could make a drastic change to the emotion of the plot. As my mastery develops, I plan on using the information I learn and applying them to assignments a group projects that I will do in class. Throughout the year it is a goal of mine to further my knowledge and know more than I do now. Carrying the knowledge I gain from this class to adulthood and beyond. Overall, Media Studies is a class that piques my interest. As the school year continues I can't wait to compare my growth from years prior. Younger me would be pleased to see me continuing the hobbies I once had and developing to be triumphant. I have faith in my skills and I can't wait to make my teachers, peers, and as well as myself proud!
