AICE media studies

 Pitch 1- A girl who is going through her 5 stages of heartbreak.  Pitch 2-  Four people anonymously invited to a party, but arrive to an escape room house that is a strangers project. Pitch 3- A girl who chose to move to a new society to live a perfect life, realized she's stuck there once she arrived. I'm in favor of pitch one because i think it could be replicated the most realistically. As teens, we can imitate a "heartbreak" quite accurately. Teenage actors tend to dramatize heartbreaks to an extreme. I think this pitch can fit into many genres as well. It can be a comedy as well as a drama or horror film. It's a general idea that my group can alter with our personal ideas depending on the genre we chose. Pitch three would be my second choice. I think this could open my mind to quite creative ideas for the film. It seems like it would feature a young adult ready to start their new life and then a major conflict occurred stopping the main character from their

 This year I've decided to work in a group with Brianna Reyes, Nicole Miller, and Alejandro Ochoa. It was a bit more difficult to pick a group this year because I didn't previously know many people in my class. I walked up to these students and asked to be in their group because i know that they are work driven. They are all in many advanced classes and I'm confident that they will contribute as much as possible into the group. I also made sure to reassure them that that i get my work done as well. I believe It's very important to work with a group of people who are motivated and driven, even if they may not be your friends. I know from past experience that working in groups can come with conflict so its important to chose members wisely, providing that if a conflict does occur, the members can work together and solve it. I only know Alejandro on a personal level, granted I'm very excited to get to learn more about my other group members and what they have to offer.

   My name is Macaria Linarez-Castillo.  I am a Junior at Fort Lauderdale High and I'm looking forward to taking AICE Media Studies again this year.   A fun fact about myself is that i like to meditate.  Meditation  brings me peace and happiness and helps me get through the everyday stress that life brings. Last year meditation helped me clear my mind and focus on my priorities, helping me succeed in my AICE classes.  What originally excited me about taking  Media Studies is the impact media has in every facet of our lives. This continues to fascinate me today. The history of media has changed so much throughout my lifetime as societal and cultural changes occur. Learning about representation in film, made me realize how much the world has changed since the pandemic other events influencing representation in modern films. It's amazing the way Media influences and reflects human behavior through communications, and social sciences.  I am fascinated by the impact media can have o
