Reflection-All About Me Commercial

Image
 What technology did you learn to use?  While making this commercial I learned more about iMovie, Capcut, and YouTube throughout the process. Using iMovie was a lot more difficult than I though it was going to be. Editing was the most important part about making this commercial. You might be able to add a ton of photos into iMovie, but the commercial wont come together unless it's edited. Originally I was going to use CapCut because lately I've been seeing seeing CapCut edits all over TikTok. I thought I would be able to make a commercial with it. Turns out CapCut isn't very easy to use. YouTube was pretty easy to use. all i had to do was upload my video, but i did need a bit of help with that lol. What did you learn about the process of putting a project together? One of the biggest things I learned was that the process takes time. I wanted to rush and get my commercial done. I think I could've made it better if I took my time with it. Another thing is time management.

Production Blog- I'M FINALLY DONE!!!

 Hey there! I'm back! I have some exciting news!! I have finally finished my commercial. If I'm being completely honest... I procrastinated so much! When I wasn't procrastinating I was working pretty hard. I'm not the best editor but the commercial came out better than I though it would. I used the beat of the song to determine when I would show a new photo or video. Part of me thought I used too many photos, but I don't think I have enough lol! I'm probably going to keep repeating myself, but I am just so happy with how the commercial came out! I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to do it. You are probably wondering what the commercial looks like. I promise I will post it on the blog soon. I need to make sure it's exactly how I want it. Making this commercial was so much fun! Looking back on old photos and videos and putting them in my commercial was nostalgic. I would 100 percent recommend making a commercial of yourself, even if it's ju

Hey guys! I'm back! So as you guys know I was having some trouble with my commercial. I wasn't able to figure a few thing out, but I finally did it! I'm almost done with my commercial. I just need a few more photos or videos to make sure it's long enough! I was thinking about doing one long video for my last clip. Maybe something of me being crazy or silly. Something like that! I'm honestly so excited to see how it turns out in the end. If I'm being completely honest it was really hard choosing which photos to use. I had too many and the start so I had to cut some out, but I'm loving the way it looks so far! At first I though this commercial would've taken me forever to do and I honestly thought I wasn't going to enjoy doing it. I've had so much fun working on it though! I loved editing and choosing my music. I loved debating on which photos and videos to use and which I should cut out. I truly had a lot of fun doing this because its been a while

Production Blog - Complications

 Hi there! I'm back! So I' m kind of having a few complications. First of all I'm not the best editor. Second, my photos and videos aren't placing the way I want them to. I'm not sure if its iMovie or the way my placing them but this is really frustrating. I also can't find my song on iMovie. When I search up my song it doesn't show up and it really starting to concern me. I'm also having trouble figuring out what order to put my photos and videos in. I know that sounds like a really dumb problem, but trust me is a big one. Other than that everything is going good! To be fair its been a while since I've used iMovie. I know I said that I should be able to do this easy but its been almost 4 years. I'm going to keep trying to get this work, but I think I can do it. I know I  can! I think I'm going to try making my commercial on a different device because the problem might be the computer. Maybe I'll try doing it on my iPad! Time to get to wo

     Hi there! I'm back! As you guys know I have to make a commercial in my media studies class. Choosing the songs, photos, and videos weren't easy at all. First of all I don't have very many photos or videos of myself. Second, choosing a song was probably one of the hardest things I had to do this week. I downloaded both iMovie and Capcut to make my commercial. I'm probably going to use iMovie because I'm more familiar with the app. I've been using iMovie since elementary school. Today I'm going to start with the layout. I'm not sure what order I want to put the videos and photos in, but I do know that I want them to switch according to the beat of the song. If you forgot... the song I chose is Candy by Robbie Williams. I think it represent me so much because the lyrics match my personality. The song is so fun and listening to it makes me dance. I'm a bit worried about this whole process because I'm not the best at editing. I know it'll all

Research and Planning

  In class we are making a commercial about ourselves. I have to choose a few photos and videos as well as a song. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to put in my commercial because I never take any photos or videos of myself. I also wanted to pick a song that represents me and matches my energy. It took me forever to figure out what to do but I finally came to a decision. My song is called Candy by Robbie Williams. A few of my videos are of me playing volleyball. Volleyball is my favorite sport to play and I've been playing it for a while so I knew I need to include some videos from my games. Of course I need some baby photos in my commercial. I know I grew up but I will always be a little kid at heart.  I included tons of photos of me with my friends because I wouldn't be where I am today without them. They are such a big part of my life and I love them all so much. My family is one of the most important things to me on this entire planet. I love them so very much. Righ

 Hi there! My name is Mia Landol and I am a tenth grader at Fort Lauderdale High. My favorite sport is volleyball. I've been playing for a little over 4 years. I'm on the JV team at school and my teammates are like my best friends. Some of my favorite things to do are sleep, eat, and hang with friends. I'm a little nervous for the school year ahead because of all the work I'm going to have to do, but I know I will be able to push through. My favorite subject is history! I love learning about the past and how it will effect the future. My least favorite subject is math. I haven't always been the best when it comes to algebra or geometry but my goal this year is to pass with at least a B! I like arts and crafts a lot. It relaxes me for some odd reason but its just so calming. I could be having the worst day and the second I start painting or doing some kind of art I am relaxed. One thing that I absolutely cannot live without is Harry Potter. I don't know what I wo
