AICE Media Studies

 Hey Blog. We have arrived to the end of this project. I really enjoyed making this commercial and learning new things. Now is time for the Reflection. 1. What technology did you learn to use? The technology that I learned to use was the app cap cut. I have used cap cut in the past before, for entertainment purposes but never on an educational level. Learning all the little tricks cap cut was very eye opening to me. I learned how to add an ending page. Like at the end of my commercial you see a roll of credits. I wanted to add that effect which helps give the project more of a commercial feel. The other thing I learned was how to add transitions to my edit. Before this project I just used already made templates from cap cut, so learning it from scratch was very fun. 2. What did you learn about the process of putting a project together? One thing that I learned from the process of putting a project together is definitely time management. Time management was huge for me on this project.

 Here is my commercial! I had such a fun and unique experience making this commercial. I hope you enjoy!

 Hello and welcome back! Today's blog is all about editing and finalizing my commercial. The goal is to make it as fun as possible. So far, I have all my photos, videos and music added to my commercial. Most of my editing of the pictures happened last blog. While I was watching my commercial, I noticed that one of the photos didn't look that great. I didn't notice this before today, but I wanted the picture to be clear and better represent what I was trying to show, which was how I want to be a doctor. So, I found a better and clearer picture that works much better with the commercial as a whole. Once I had all of my pictures and videos all completed, I needed to add some subtitles and captions to make the commercial more enticing. I found a template on Cap Cut that allows me to do this. When I was adding my captions, I didn't realize until later on that I needed to set a specific time for each caption. Once I did that the commercial really started to come together. Onc

 Hello and welcome back! I left on editing the videos to fit the commercial. The next thing I did was put the pictures into cap cut. At first, I had all the pictures before all the videos. I didn't like how that looked. So, I alternated the videos with the pictures. It looked much better that way. My sister loves editing, and things related to making film. So, I showed her my commercial. I wanted her opinion on it. She seemed to really like it. she gave me some ideas to make the commercial more appealing and interesting. I took all her tips and put it into the commercial. Once I did that the commercial looked so much better. After I edited the commercial, I watched it from the beginning. Once I watched the commercial over, I still noticed some things I could tweak so I did. Some of the things I needed to fix were the length of the pics. Some of the pics were longer than the videos. Once the pictures were shortened it looked much better. Thats all I completed today. So next I will b

 Hello and welcome back! Today during production, a lot of things happened. Since the last production I haven't done much editing because I was still deciding on the song. I finally chose a song. Still not sure about it yet though. While I was working on the commercial in class, some of my classmates wanted to see how my commercial was going. Many of my classmates enjoyed what I have so far. They gave me some tips to make my Commerical even better. Right now, I only have 2 pictures and 1 video in the commercial. I added the song, but I was still not sure about it. I will let you know if I decide to change it again. for right now I'm keeping the song. I worked on putting all the images and videos into the commercial in class. Once I put them all in, I didn't do any more in class. I started to edit my commercial when I got home. I made sure the song coordinated with the photos and videos. Some of the videos were too long. Therefore, I had to cut the videos to make them shorte

 Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today is the first day of production. The first thing I did when creating my commercial was make sure I had cap cut on my laptop and phone. I wanted to make sure I had multiple ways to set up my commercial. Even if it's on my phone or laptop. Cap cut was giving me some trouble at first with my login. It was working fine a couple days ago so I was confused on why it wasn't working. I called one of my friends to see if she was having that same problem. She was too. So, I decided to just reset my password. After that my login worked perfectly. After I got my cap cut all set up, I made sure I had all my pictures all set. I texted one of my friends to see if we had similar photos since we were talking about the same things. We ended up having 2 similar photos which was nice. After that I put together my videos and pictures to make them look good. I also wanted to make sure that my videos and pictures went with the music. When I first played the so

Hello and welcome back to my blogs. Today I began planning all my parts of my commercial. The first thing was decided on the images I was going to use for this project. The first thing I did was go back to my intro blog to have my pictures relate to that blog. I decided to have multiple pictures of my friends and I and my dogs especially! I had to pick a specific picture of my dogs where they are all in the same photo, which was difficult, but I found a perfect photo. I also went to google to find a really cute picture of a doctor because I really want to be a doctor. The videos were a little more difficult to decide on. When I went to go look for videos, I wanted to show my journey in M.M.A but I couldn't find any at first. I then went deeper into older pictures and videos and found the perfect video of me getting my black belt. I needed another video and I wanted to show my school life. Therefore, I decided to search for a video of me at school. I then found the perfect video tha
