All About Me!

Hello everyone!

My name is Angela Rodriguez and I’m a senior at Hollywood Hills high school.

In this first post, I’ll share some details about myself so you can get to know me and hopefully… you’ll enjoy keeping up with my journey in media studies!

Here are some basic facts about myself:

  1. I’m 17 right now but I’ll turn 18 in May
  2. I was born in Havana, Cuba and came to the U.S. when I was 2 years old

I’m taking the class “media studies” to complete my AICE and Cambridge course requirements but also because film is a form of literature I enjoy. I hope out of this class I’ll get a more detailed understanding of my favorite movies and shows.

Some more personal facts about myself:

  1. I have a pet chihuahua named Timmy 
  2. I love painting, drawing, writing, and anything where I can be creative 

Thank you!

I took a medium-full shot (Cowboy shot) at a low angle of my classmate to attempt to make him seem superior. 5. I took a medium shot (MS)  at eye-level of my classmate eating in front of a "No Food, No Drinks" sign to showcase irony and comedic effect. 6. I took a full shot (FS)  at a high angle of my classmate dropping to his knees to showcase a feeling of inferiority. 7. I took a close-up shot (CU) and ground-level of my classmate kicking a plastic water bottle. 8. I took a two-shot (TS) a
