Nice To Meet You.

Hello all.

My name is Mollie and I am definitely new here.

Blogging is foreign territory to me but has always been something I've been desperate to try. I always feel that I’ll never have enough to say. Anyway, I have decided enough is enough and I must give it a go, after all that is going to be the motto for my gap year which I am about to begin.

 As a newbie to the blogging world I feel I should properly introduce myself so I shall do my best to fill you in with the essentials.

I am 17 years old, I have very red hair, a positive outlook on life and am in my last year of highschool (only two weeks left-eek). I live on the beautiful Isle of Arran on the west coast of Scotland and have done since I was 7 years old. As a teenager on an often quiet island it can be challenging finding things to fill your weekend with. Starved of Primark and MacDonald’s it can leave me thinking it would be great to live on the mainland sometimes, but really there is nowhere else I would rather be. As a budding film-maker it’s the perfect place to live. With its breath-taking views and changing landscape around every corner Arran certainly lives up to its name of “Scotland in miniature”.

I’m sure many of you will have heard of the Isle of Arran on the news recently due to our terrible power cuts. It has been quite a unique experience to put it one way and has inspired me to make a video about my experience of it for my YouTube channel to allow people to see the situation from and Arran-er’s point of view.

Film-production being a keen interest of mine and something I hope to pursue as a career I jumped at the chance to start my own YouTube channel and after a few first-video attempts Normollieee was born. I have loved filming since I was little and used to make sketches with my family and friends on the family camera and would pretend I was a professional by the age of 6. I've loved it ever since.

In the nine videos I have uploaded so far on my channel I have tried to experiment with different techniques and concepts including stopmotion, video in time with music, fast-cut reversed footage and a basic sit-down vlog. I’ve become very fond of my humble little channel and I hope it will grow and blossom as I learn more about editing and film. I have so many ideas and hopes for it’s future and cannot wait to make these ideas a reality in my coming gap year. I appreciate every single view and “thumbs up” I receive and can’t help but give a little squeak of joy when I see I have a new subscriber. It’s really exciting for me to know that I can dedicate my time and effort towards it this year and I would love if you joined me along the way!

I think this will do for a short introduction so far as I hope you will learn the rest through my future blogs. See you soon.

Mollie♥
