"So tell me about yourself..."
Where would I even start?
Hi! My name is Courtney, and I am an 11th-grade student at Everglades High. Some interesting things about me are:I am on the school cheer team, I want to be a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, I find peace at the beach, my favorite artist is Drake, and my current favorite food is mac and cheese and steak. One thing you will learn about me throughout this blog is that I am slightly a perfectionist and I prefer order in most of my life.
So What's My Story?
Even though my main interest is in medical-based sciences, I am very interested in how feelings and emotions can be evoked through different forms of media. Whether art, writing, film, music, or anything really. I previously took classes (i.e. music appreciation, photography, etc.) that break down the elements of media to understand how specific details in media can create a beautiful immersive experience for the listener/viewer. I recently found myself taking a special interest in cinematography. Even as far as watching movies and appreciating overlooked details like color, music, or style of acting. One of my favorite movies to analyze was Sam Levinson's "Malcolm and Marie".

The director's decision to film a 21st-century movie in black and white, using a cast of two, and a single setting (i.e. a one-bedroom house) advanced the feelings portrayed through the dialogue in my opinion. Things like this motivate me to take Aice Media Studies. Not to just work with film, but to understand every detail behind it.
I hope I was able to convey a little about myself to you, and can't wait to share more details about me and my film process with you guys! Thank you for reading, "Just a Girl..."
