        Hello, I am David Vidal, you can address me as David. I like soccer, money, family, TV series, eating, and exercising. I am Brazilian-American, born in the U.S.A. to Brazilian immigrants. On the weekends, I enjoy sleeping for as long as possible, typically for a half day. Every day, the best way I enjoy starting my morning off, is by making a delicious breakfast. Every day it might be something different, from oatmeal, to eggs, pancakes, fruit, bacon, bread, and milk. Every weekend, I attend and help out at my church with the youth program they have going on there. I joined AICE Media Studies because it seemed interesting, and I had heard from others that it was an easy class. So far, I find this class uniquely fascinating, from the different camera angles to examining story boards. I never thought that cinematography could ever be so complex. My long-term goal for this class, is to learn everything possible about how movies and tv shows are made. Maybe, with that knowledge that I gain I will apply it to something relevant in my life like a project. In all honesty, my mind is always filled with crazy ideas that I've wanted to post on YouTube for instance but had no knowledge to execute that desire. I feel like that will change through this class. More so, we live in an era where technology dominates every aspect of life. I believe I am doing myself a favor, by learning about a particular sector of this technology. Something that I'm relieved about pertaining to this class, is that I'm surrounded by smart people, who I know that working with will not drag my progress down. Typically, when I hear that there will be a project assigned, I get frustrated. But the projects that I heard that will happen in this class, seems fun and exciting. One of the reasons why, it's because there is not necessarily a rubric to follow. Obviously, there are guidelines, but the whole project, which we will do, is up to us.
