Reflection

 Hey, blog! Today I'm talking about how I made my commercial. I used my phone rather than my computer to make it. I was figuring out what apps to use. My final decision was CapCut. Even though I've only used CapCut templates that I found on TikTok, I got used to the app pretty quickly. I was already familiar with my way around it. I figured that my videos couldn't be vertical. I changed the frames so that they'd be horizontal. I was able to finish my commercial in around 2 days. It wasn't as hard to make and I was able to cut and frame anything I needed to. I learned how to cut everything correctly and make a photo montage along with it to display pictures. Not only that but I had the ability to make little extras about my friends. At one point i thought there might be a watermark due to the app but it would've been fine. If I were to use Imovie, it wouldn't have come out the way I wanted it to. Imovie doesn't have as many options as Cap Cut does. Thankfully I was able to add the music I wanted to but it was a bit difficult because i coulnt really tell how to input it at first so I just screen-recorded and it ended up working perfectly. I was able to cut the music and it worked. In the next project, I could manage my time a little more wisely. I was in a bit of a rush. I dont know if its that easy to tell. Towards the end of my commercial, I couldn't find the correct videos and i had to use pictures mainly for the parts of traveling and my brother. Can't really tell if it looked choppy but I had others put in their opinions and they said it looked okay. I should've just looked a little harder for more videos. Overall, I loved making this commercial and I think it honestly turned out great. It was colorful and explained a lot. The song was a perfect touch and the videos and pictures that I was able to find put it all together well. I found them through the Walgreens app that my mom had backed them up into. There were videos and pictures from 2008 and on so it came through. I can't wait to make more of these. It was nice to have the ability to explain more about myself and send a small message through. "The events, good or bad, will shape you into the person you are today and you learn from them all to become better!" Thank you. See you next time!!
