 Hi Blog Squad!!!  Welcome back to my blog, I finally finished my commercial after a long process. I hope you guys enjoyed my commercial as much as I did. Personally, I am proud of what I submitted.  While making it, I had to learn how to use certain things I had never used before. I learned how to extract sound from a video and add it to my video. This process took some time to perfect but it was a great result at the end. Also, I had to learn to crop and edit the size of my photos to make them fit the frame. Something I struggled with was learning how to shorten the length of my photos and videos, I did not want them to be so long that the viewer grew tired but I also did not want it to appear and disappear in seconds. However, after some minor tweaks, I got each photo and video to a perfect length to keep the viewer entertained. Finally, I had to move photos and videos around to make the commercial flow perfectly and seamlessly. After this project, I am better at editi...

Hi guys! This is my commercial, thank you for watching!!

 Hi guys! Welcome back to my final production blog. In this blog, I'll talk about the last-minute editing I had to do to my commercial. As well as the final touches and changes for my commercial. I was thinking of removing some of the regular photos because the videos and Live Photos provoke more emotions as a viewer than a "still" photo. I've also decided to incorporate some transitions so the commercial looks more seamless. However, I did not know whether to do different transitions or the same one throughout. I opted out for only one transition because the video seemed all over the place and weird when I tried doing multiple transitions. I might add a few effects but I am not sure as of right now.  I finally decided on what my text would look like and state. It's gonna begin with my name "Camila Medina Rios a.k.a Cami" and then in the background would be the photos and videos of me. This text will help establish who I am and what my name is. I also ad...

 Hi guys, welcome back to my blog!! Once again this blog is a continuation of how I'm doing throughout the process of creating my "all about me" commercial. In my last blog, I mentioned that I was dwelling between two ideas about how to organize the order in which my photos and videos would go. I decided that I was going to do it in backward chronological order. I started with photos of me now and then I progressively transitioned to old photos of me this was to show how I am and how I was.  I used 4 photos of me as a baby, but I might add more. The length of my commercial so far is 25 seconds. I want to reach at least 40 seconds, therefore I have to keep adding more photos and videos. Some of my photos are not "live" so I've had to improvise and change the style of my video for it to cohesively flow together.  For the commercial, there will be text on the screen including my name, production credits, and song credits. I have yet to find a font and font colo...

Hi blog squad!  Welcome back to my blog! In this blog, I'm going to continue talking about the process of making my commercial.  I've been looking and taking inspiration from my friend's commercials as well as brainstorming ideas. I want to include photos of places, events, and people that I love. The majority of the photos might be candid because I believe that they are the most genuine photos. Next, I began to think about a way in which I could organize the video. One of my first ideas was to organize the images and videos in chronological order. The way I'd organize it chronologically would be by adding photos of my childhood first and then adding photos of my present. This comparison will show my true persona and a genuine introduction to me.  Another idea was to organize it in backward chronological order. By this, I mean that I will start with pictures of me now and then progressively go to my infant pictures. I wish I had videos of when I was young to add to my c...

 Hi guys!!! Welcome back to my blog.  In this blog, I will be taking you through each step of the process of making my commercial. First, I had to find an app in which I could make my commercial. The teacher made a suggestion to use an editing app called Capcut. I have some prior experience with this app so I know how to work with the tools in it. My next step was to find a song for my commercial. I have many personal playlists so the process of picking a song was time-consuming but enjoyable. I narrowed it down to three artists: Frank Ocean, Steve Lacy, and Boa. Each of these artists has a song that I feel would work great with my commercial. After listening to these songs repeatedly I decided to pick, "Pink+White" by Frank Ocean. It's a song that I really enjoy and it fits my commercial. I picked the last 20-30 seconds of the song because I enjoy the beat and vibe of it. The next step was to find photos and videos that I wanted to put on my commercial. I went through my...

  Welcome back to my blog!  The process I went through to pick out the pieces of media for my blog was long but was very enjoyable. Majority of the media on my blog is from my personal camera roll. I enjoy going through my camera roll because it is full of memories from throughout the years. One of my favorite things to do is to photograph almost every moment of my life. Therefore, most of my life is captured and saved in my camera roll.  I've realized that I don't record as much as I take photos but the videos I will show are the ones that I feel capture my essence the best. Because of this there will be more photos than videos. Majority of the photos are candid so they're not the most flattering. Therefore, I chose the ones that are presentable yet have the same vibes as the rest.  For the videos, I wanted to choose ones that were not long but videos that showed how I felt. I wanted to transmit my emotions through the commercial. I will include photos and videos of...
