I've been playing sports all my life, some would even say I'm very athletic. I play two sports in total, tennis and cross country. Let me tell you that these sports are not for the weak especially when its 95 degrees down here in South Florida. I've been playing tennis for about 11 years now. I even worked my way to playing number 1 on the FLHS tennis team. I play a decent amount of tournaments but I should play more because my UTR is quite low, but its also good for match play and experience. I don't think I'm going to go pro but I do hope to play at The University of Miami on their club team. Go Canes! I started cross country freshman year. I told myself this is just cross training for tennis, but no. I ended up being a pretty good runner. I made it to states freshman year which was kind of a shock to me. States was such a fun trip especially with the team. At states I created a personal record for my self in which I ran 3 miles in 24.04 minutes. I've been training really hard this past summer that I'm going to try and get run 3 miles in under 22 minutes and hopefully work my way down to running in the 19's or 20's by senior year. I've made lots of new friends by joining the team. Everyone there is super nice and fun to be around. The people there make our hard days fun and that's what I probably love most about school cross country. In school academically my favorite class in chemistry. I don't know what it is but I'm really good at it. I enjoy the math which is weird because I'm not the best at math. This was me.

The Vision Short Film

Throughout the Mystery short film, The Vision, there was a boy looking for his friend throughout a fever dream and never ended up finding out if his friend was ok or not. There was common sounds like creepy music playing in the background. The lighting throughout the short film was very dark and eerie. The boys bedroom as well as all the settings that were shown throughout the film were dark and made a viewer feel uncomfortable. A common editing tactic in the mystery genre is foreshadowing which means early in the film, a hint is given as to what is going to happen as the plot. Another common tactic is suspense. Suspense is built through ending scenes with cliffhangers, making a character complicated, intense point of view, and hints as to what is to come throughout the film.  I really enjoy the suspenseful part about mystery genre films. Throughout all mystery films, there is so much suspense built up because you truly want to know what happened and why it is happening. This quest...

Its Me Again

 Hey Cambridge it's me, Carleigh Tripp, again. I am still a student at Fort Lauderdale High School and I am Still 15, however I am turning 16 on December 21st. I joined AICE media studies because I've always found interest in filming and showing my creative side. So far I've had a wonderful time making videos, especially the latest project we completed. The last project was a commercial and the item we choose was the energy drink Celsius. My favorite part of that project was incorporating the angles and editing that we learned in class. I learned a lot on filming and editing, mainly using editing apps and how to create those cool effects through technology. As we progress through the course I would like to film people who aren't part of the class to get more people than me and my partner. I would also like to include my dog since he's energetic yet can take commands well, if I told him to sit and stay he would. His names Ripley, he's 8 years old and is a Parti P...
