Entry #1: Introduction

My name is Nawal, and welcome to my blog. On this blog, I will track my progress for my AICE Media Portfolio Project. 

Before anything else, I want to tell you more about myself. I am seventeen and I have two brothers and a sister. Ever since the third grade, I started to filming and editing videos at home and showing them to my friends and family. It began with the overuse cheesy effects and shots with extra, unshaven footage. 

As I grew older, I began to use more sophisticated editing techniques as I spent more time researching on how to take advantage of simple editing softwares. With time also came greater opportunities to practice. Eventually, I began a YouTube channel which I still run to this day. I have also participated in many film festivals and other competitions.

My previous experience in content creation with film prompted my decision to create a film opening for my portfolio project rather than a magazine, despite my skills in digital design. 

The members of my group are individuals who shared the same interests as me, but also offer and interesting perspective which I believe will be healthy for development of our project. 

What I am excited to see is my growth in knowledge and application of what I learn inside the classroom to this project. I hope to see my current skill sets be nurtured as we advance through this project.
