Reflection



 


1.What technology did you learn to use?

I learned to use cap cut which is a popular app that can be used to make advertisements, edits, and videos. One of the biggest things that I struggled with was actually the sound which may sound weird as it seems easy. I also struggled with saving the video as no matter how hard I tried to it would not submit. Eventually I figured out the problem as I asked a friend, who shares the class with me, about what I should do. I learned how to upload videos to Youtube from my cap cut account so that people can view them on Youtube. I also learned the different ways I can embed the advertisement into my blog. Although I did struggle at first with allowing others to see the commercial through my blogger account but I resolved that problem quickly.

2. What did you learn about the process of putting a project together?

I learned that it can be very difficult to choose certain  pictures, videos and music for a single commercial. It also can take a few days to receive the music, picture, and video required for the commercial. At times you will change your mind often on whether you want that certain video or picture placed into your ad. It is important to keep in mind that when it is your first time creating a video it take a lot of time to figure out how to properly use the features on the app so researching will be a big part of it. When making a commercial it is rare to get the commercial exactly right on the first try and it will take multiple drafts. If it is your time making a commercial it is important to remember the ad won't turn out the what you exactly want it to on your first try. Finally, it can take a lot of editing to conjoin scenes together to make the commercial flow properly.

3. What do I think I can do to make the project better?

After finishing this project I feel like there was a lot I wanted to change or certain stuff that I just wasn't happy with. One of the things that I wanted to do was to add more videos and pictures but from a wider time range so that it would show how I was like when I was growing up. Another option for that would be using pictures that showed different aspects of my life like my favorite hobbies. I also wished I added more transition effects between each scene so that the transition could be smoother. I also wished I went more in depth about my life in the commercial. I also wish that I use a different song than the one that I chose perhaps something that fit my project a bit more. All in all I though that my commercial is okay but for the next project I want to experiment with the app and the features a bit more.

Movie Research: Nerve

  What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?   Some conventions of the genre I chose to base my final task on that this movie has are the costumes and the shots, specifically point-of-view shots. In this movie, the characters wore a casual wardrobe for most of the movie which would make it easier on us when we begin filming to prevent as many extraneous variables as we can. This film includes multiple point-of-view shots which help the audience feel the character's suspense and create an exhilarating effect. These shots would help us create an accurate , suspenseful, exciting, and exhilarating effect on viewers.     What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked?   A convention of the genre that this movie had that I liked was the sound motifs. In this movie every time the characters that played the viewers in the movies went up it kept making a specific sound. This helps the film audience kno...

Production Blog: Music Video

Hey blog it me coming again with my last blog for this project Today I cut all the dance scene since I the music video was too long and I needed it to fit in the given time range.  Then there was the issue of the music I had some trouble getting the sound onto the music video. Since Cap cut didn't have the correct song for the music video I went to a few websites and streaming platforms to get the song. That didn't work so I had to download an app that allowed me to record the song then add it to the music video. It took a while for me to get the hang of the app since I had to record the song like three times. The first time the video wouldn't stop so it recorded and unnecessary amount of the music video. The second time I recorded the song I realize you couldn't really hear the song so I had to make a few adjustments to the app. Eventually I was able to get the song to be heard on the recording it turns out all I had to do was switch the audio setting. The third time e...

StoryBoard

  Hello World,   My group and I got to the part of our project where we got to make a storyboard for our music video. Each box is a scene that will occur in our music video in the future, each scene will be a sequence of events.   Box 1: Justin Bieber (JB) is walking into a library with his two friends to study.   Box 2: The three boys walk into the library and JB notices that his crush is studying at the library as well. The girl was studying by herself.   Box 3: When he saw her, he was mesmerized and looked at her as if she was the love of his life. His friends don't believe that anything is going to actually happen between the two of them (the girl and JB), so one of his friends tells him that he's a fool.   Box 4: The girl is studying and minding her own business, she also doesn't notice that JB is there with his friends   Box 5: It is a split screen. On the left, it shows that the girl is studying. On the right, it shows...
