Hello world, I’m Maya Inman, a 10th grader. A couple fun facts about me are that I have 4 siblings (two brothers and 2 sisters) and I’m the oldest sibling. I have two cats (Milo and Kevin), and I like to read. I chose Media Studies to take a step into the media world and to understand how media affects our everyday lives as a community and personally.
A few things I hope to learn in this class this year is to learn editing skills, the different types of sounds and camera shots, and get better in analysis. Some skills I want to develop are more technical skills, like how to give a message with certain camera shots and sounds. These skills will help me understand movies on a better level and understand why directors choose to do the shots that they do.
I feel nervous and excited at the same time about taking this class because it’s something new that I haven’t done before. Media is something that I would like to explore in the future as a hobby, so this class will help me further my research. I’m mostly looking forward to the two-minute film that I will create with my classmates. I believe that the two-minute film would be really fun to work on and cool to see our final product.
The type of media I consume the most is YouTube and music. This type of media is my way of relaxing after a long day of school and homework. They also show me my interest in different forms; a picture, music, or a video. I do think I’m on these media for a long period of time, here and there, which sometimes can affect if I get something done in time like my chores or school work. On the other hand, I have been working on that and trying my best to do my chores and homework before I use these different media forms, which has been going great for me.
Looking ahead, I think Media Studies will challenge me to stay on track with my work. This class is fun but has a lot of work that needs to be done and can’t be left for last minute. I’m most excited about the two-minute film, and I hope by the end of the course I will be able to complete my goal of wanting to get more experienced with media work, like camera shots and sound usages.
