Welcome Back!!!

 

    Hey guys welcome back!! We are starting off with some updates and fillers on how things have been going and what the plan for this year is. I am so excited to finally be back here!! This year were going to be making a short film I am not sure on what yet but were going to just catch up at the moment. So at the end of last years post the CCR was tough to get through but it did come out great. 
    Unfortunately, the people I worked with last year will not be joining this year's trip. So ill make sure to update later on whether or not it will be a new team this year. I have gotten a job and taken time during our break to just figure out what i plan to do after high school is over and there were some tough choices to make but I knew one thing for sure is that I wanted to continue on with this process in A level. So in the beginning I mentioned how i could swim and that I loved the water in the past I am now a certified lifeguard and plan to see if i can use this skills to my advantage in this years filming process. I have been working to learn and improve my skills in media so hopefully everything goes as planned.
    Bloom the girls club that I am apart of will not be continuing into this new school year unfortunately, everything has been continued online.  Covid-19 has calmed down just enough for us to go back on campus for school so things are different and a little harder but I believe ill be able to manage it. I have found some new editing apps to use for this year!! So I am hoping that ill be able to put them to great use. Past the editing things are going to be a bit more challenging with the new schedule i have going on. 
    I know that on Thursday and Friday's i'll be able to plan and prep everything I need so that I can blog on time for you guys and proceed into the project in a timely manner. Hopefully its not to overwhelming if I decide to do these things on my own. I can definitely tell that this year's work is definitely going to be more independent. Having a taste of what AICE Media is like already, I know that this work can be super fun and enjoyable as long as I keep up and stay focused. Part of this process will be done with the new updates that will be coming more frequently from now on. Well that's all that has happened lately so i'll see you all next time. I'll be back soon!!
