Into Self for Intro to Media

     Hi my name is Kathryn this is currently my second semester at FCC. I am taking intro to Media because it was originally a requirement for a graphic design certificate I signed up for. I now believe I will be switching to general studies because I am still unsure what it is I want to major in.
     I have never had a blog, a Facebook, twitter, all the major social media websites I do not use. I am Microsoft savvy and am use to some computers. When I came to FCC I did not now how to use a Mac until I took my Graphic classes the first semester. The class I have enjoyed the most is TV Studio Production. I will post a video link of my final project at the bottom of this post. It was a lot of hand on experience I did some filming along with a role as the main characters rival.
     I called the blog "An Otaku's Perspective".  An otaku is a word meaning "fan", normally the term is used for anime fans. I am an an anime fan and therefore the perspective of my opinions will be shared as one. The time I use the internet is mostly to watch anime because only few is showed on american television, anime is mostly of the Asian culture.
     Being an anime fan it has opened my favor in art and books. I no longer can draw or write like I use to but it does help me able to have a smart opinion on anime or manga (books). I am also a huge movie fan, Hayao Miyazaki is my favorite director he is an animated director. I watch mostly fantasy, anime, sifi, and action films.  

My TV Studio class was very fun and the final project was the most enjoyable. The video is on YouTube and I believe the other video projects is also on YouTube by the same person who posted the final video up. before you watch it I want to say that its a live action version of the Super Smash Brothers Brawl game by Nintendo. We use the mods not the exact characters because we did not have the exact costumes. We have bloopers at the end. Enjoy the Video. Click!
