Reflection on Syllabus #2

Welcome back to my blog!

        As I have previously stated in the last blog, I am making a magazine for my AICE Media Studies course. Truth be told, I do not have any experience when it comes to editing. The only thing that comes close to it is a digital technology class I took in the 10th grade. However, our main focus in that class was to know how to use Word and a bit about the business industry. Nevertheless, I am positive that doing these blogs and working on the magazine will help expand my knowledge when it comes to editing. 

        Here are some three aspects of the course I'm looking forward to: ❀

1. I am looking forward to finding a topic that I love and constructing the magazine for it. 
2. I'm looking forward to expressing my creativity. I want these blogs and the magazine to look amazing! 
3. I am looking forward to learning about the different camera angles to help make my magazine look outstanding. I am familiar with photo taking and want to increase my knowledge of it.

        Now, here are three aspects of this course that make me feel nervous: ❀

1. The editing makes me feel wary due to the lack of editing skills I have; I don't know much, and I'm nervous it will make this course feel hard.
2. I am nervous that I will not understand the media language or the audience's responses. 
3. I am also nervous about not doing too good overall; I often times give myself false hope and don't do as well as I hope. 

        I hope that after this course I will consider myself somewhat of an expert in media analysis. I am going to make my media as interesting as it can be and engage with my audience as much as I can! I want to learn more and have more of an understanding when it comes to the local, global, or international media. Lastly, I truly hope that my creativity has grown so much that it will be beneficial for me to use in college. 

        Overall, I am excited to see how everything will play out in this course. Granted, I am a bit nervous, but my exhilaration is just taking over. I know I am going to explore and learn a lot of things that will help me get the knowledge that I need. I am positive that I will be able to accomplish all my goals throughout this course. 

Thank you for reading, till next time!
