AICE Media Studies

     Hey blog! it's me again. I had just finished my commercial, and there is a lot I learned to do. For example, the technology. I learned to use the editing website on computer, it is NOT the same as phone. It took me a while to learn how to use but I ended up watching a few videos on it and it really came out well. I believe the best app to use is CapCut because it is the easiest editing app I have used, and almost everything is free. The items you have to pay for aren't really needed for most things you will need for your videos. The app comes with a tutorial and it's basic. Even though the app is basic there  still a lot I learned, like my end credits, my goal was to make it scroll like they do at the end if movies and I kept on looking at the effects and animations that the app gives to you, but I figured out yo had to do it by scratch.       Putting this project together I discovered that it is very important to put a plan together and have...

Hey blog! This is the final result of my commercial. I hope you enjoy it! Karina logging off. 

     Hey blog! its me again. When I woke up I went to ask my friend who has used CapCut if this is a normal thing to happen, they said yes. So I called them and we spent a good 30 minutes fixing the video up. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. In the process some of my videos uncropped and I lost photos. So, I has to read and re crop all of them. After 15 minutes of doing that I re-watched my commercial about 4 times and enjoyed it, I showed my mom and she really loved the cultural touch. I was finally done with my commercial video. I decided it was time to export the video. I exported the video into my camera roll and it came out perfect.      I started to get all my things cleaned up, my brother came in my room and he asked what I was doing. I told him I finished up my commercial and he wanted to see it. After he watched the video he recommended  should add a thank you credit at the end of the commercial to everyone who helped me...

       HEY BLOG! Its me again. I forgot to mention something super important in my last blog, so before I went to sleep I thought of the most brilliant thing. My thought was adding not only text but pop-ups. I began to add my text as caption like. So whatever was said in the video was put into text as captions. After doing so I put other things that were not said in the video, as inside thoughts or background information. I did one text at a time in the exact spot i wanted them to be, so it would fit in. After I decided to look at a couple of pop-ups i could have added. I decided to add the things I liked or to add things that match what I am saying. I started off by adding 5 pop-ups, then I felt like was not enough, so then I added 5 more, that's when it hit me. My commercial looked really crowded, it looked as if I was adding maybe way too much. So to solve this problem I took out 4 pop ups and kept 6, I then took out the unnecessary texts, and finally cropped out ...

       Hey blog! it’s me again. This is my second day working on my commercial. The last thing I worked on was getting all my videos and photos in chronological order. My goal today was to make everything fit with my songs. I have picked 2 school appropriate songs. Before adding my songs I will be fixing the videos and photos. I decided I wanted to insert photos while a video is playing to save time. the photos inserted in the videos will relate to the video so they don't look out of place. To add the photos to the video I overlaid the photos then slid them underneath the video, then I cropped the photo length so it matches the same amount of the video or the amount that reached my satisfaction. After overlaying it was time to add the songs. I split each song 30 seconds each. I chose parts of the songs that are significant to me.  To arrange the songs I cropped them and slid them where I wanted them to be. Before adding text I watched my commercial as it was and...

       What's up blog its me again! Big surprise Mexico tied with Australia 2-2, I thought Australia would win by at least 2 goals but Mexico really surprised up. Anyways I began to work on my commercial. I downloaded Cap Cut and iMovie for precaution. I then began to add the photos and videos. When I added them they were not in order so I had to rearrange them into chronological order. The order I put the media in was from when the photo or video was taken. This commercial is a sort timeline and my likes and dislikes. After rearranging I had to look for a spot my video of my talking would fit in, after finding the spot I began to record. My video is about 40 seconds long. I have decided to put the video in the beginning and then add the other videos that I received from family. After adding the video in spot I got a little hungry and felt the need to blow off steam. I went to the kitchen to grab a snack which was a banana and after that I asked my sister if she want...

       Hey blog! it’s me again. BOOM! I am starting the process of creating my first my commercial. First thing that I am going  to do is get my photos. My mom has a whole album of pictures dedicated to each of her kids and their achievements, therefore I will be asking her for the help. For my videos I am going to ask my friends and sisters, they tend to take the most videos of me. I will be also going through my flash drive and camera roll to find photos and videos that show the real me. To find a song that truly fits me, Me and my dog will be listening to a playlist on Spotify of my favorite songs and see which song I sing the most to or describes me in the best way possible. After figuring out my song, I'm going to be filming a video talking about myself, then insert the photos and videos that I have collected. Then I am going to add the music as background just to take the silence away. I will be editing these videos together on Cap Cut, my photos and video...
