Reflection on project

Image
I finished making my commercial and the experience that I had making it, I found to be quite enjoyable.  At the begining of this assignment I was very nervous because I know that I am not very good with technology and i thought that this was goling to be struggle fopr me to do.  I thought to myself that there was no possible way that I would be able to finish this because of how bad I am with technology.  Then I found CapCut and began to tesearch how to use it.  I experimented with it and I looked through tutorials on YouTube and other websites to find out how to use it and realized it was so easy.  I really enjoyed being able to do it in CapCut because of how simple the formatting was compared to the other, more complicated softwares.  I am quite happy with the final product but I think it could have been better.  For one, I think I could have edited some of clips to be shorter and not include some stuff that isn’t worth seeing or made the commercial look bad.  Also, I could have edit

My final all about me commercial

 Hello, this is the results of my research and work, please enjoy this commercial that tells you all about me.

Finishing production

So now that I had every single requirement met and chosen it was time to finish my commercial and put everything into a video.  I had the 3-5 pictures chosen to use that each described a part of my personality.  Then I also had my 2-3 videos chosen that would be describing me.  To put all of these to the songs I had also chosen that I would be using my taste in music to describe other parts of me at the same time.  Now all I had to do was put everything together into a nice looking, edited, cut, and easy flowing advertisement to finish it off.  I already had the platform that I would be using for this too. I  planned on using CapCut.  CapCut is an editing tool that is very easy to use that makes it easy to insert songs and cut them, as well as insert pictures and cut everything so it fits the time frame.  The reason I am using this app instead of other known editing apps is because I am very new to editing and making videos in general and wanted to use an easy to use app.  I also think

What’s a commercial without music?

Now that I had the first two requirements met for my commercial all about me it was time for the last requirement.  I had pictures the 5 pictures that I would be using fully don’t and picked out and coordinated with my topics of me that I wanted to cover.  I also had in the previous blog, picked out the 2-3 videos that I was going to use to show my love for football.  But now it was time, for probably my favorite step, the music.  The music was by the part of this commercial I was looking forward to the most because I absolutly love music.  Going along with the commercials main idea I was going to pick 1-2 of my favorite songs.  By doing this it would allow me to communicate some of my favorite songs as well as my taste in music while showing the other aspects of me.  The reason I was going ti enjoy this part the most was because it would help to captivate the audiance more.  In every advertisement I have seen on tv for any kind of product, there is either a happy and fun sounding song

How did I plan?

So the very first thing I did after getting the assignment was identify what I needed to do and follow the instructions that where listed so I could be specific when making my commercial.  When I looked at instructions the first thing I noticed was the video had to be 2-3 minutes.  This immediately told me that I needed to find good pictures that would keep my audience entertained.  The other thing it also told me was that I would have to produce a quality video that had enough pictures to entertain for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  So after learning the first instruction to this commercial I started combing through the archived photos I had on my phone and my moms computer to find good ones that would describe me properly.  But in order to follow the interruption of 3-5 pictures I chose one picture that would properly describe me in each aspect I wanted to be described in.  I was looking for pictures to cover my love for the sport of American football and my family, as well as my pet and m

the next steps to production

 So, now that I had all of my pictures done and chosen from my previous blog it was time to start checking things off from the requirements list.  I decided to do this process one by one because   to make sure that i accounted for everything and not get too distracted by focusing one one part of the instructions and forget about another none.  The next part of the requirements that I wanted to fcous on was the 2-3 videos.  So considering that the entire commercial had to be 30 second to one minute, i knew that the videos couldnt be over 15-20 seconds.  Whatever ever videos I decided to pick I knew that it had to be about the part of me that I was trying to communicate to audiance.  It had to give an authentic summary of that quality of me.  I did not want the videos to be embarrassing because the video was to describe the good qualites of me.  I also did not want the videos to have profanity in it, as I would not want the audiance to relate me to being inappropriate.  Now that I had th

The start of production

As I had mentioned in my preparation document, my plan was to go through each requirement for the naming of my commercial.  So what I planned to get done in the first section of production was the gathering and meeting of all  The requirements.  The first thing I looked at was the time restraint.  I looked at this because I wanted to really put in my head when putting everything together that it needed to ne within 30 seconds to 1 minute.  I knew that based off of how I worked on videos like this that this was going to be the hardest restraint on me by far.  After I got that in my head and accounted for I prepared myself to deal with the rest of the project and that started the next step.  The next step I took was picking the the pictures.  Before starting this one I already knew this was going to take time.  I knew this was going to take time because I still had the 30 seconds to 1 minute in my mind.  With this still in mind, and knowing that I had to put 5 pictures in my commercial,

 Hello, my name is Alexander Dimartino and i am in the 11th grade and i graduate from Fort Lauderdale high school in 2025.I am a multi-sport athlete as I had played 8 years of competitive football for a club and upon joining high school I found a new love for American football, which I would like to play in college and I work extremely hard at ad I do Shot put, Dicus, and javelin in the off season. In everything I do I work extremely hard at, and I dedicate everything that I have to it. I see myself as a reserved meron that keeps to themselves, but I also see myself as a nice person. I am a very busy person from day-to-day as I go to school for 8 hours then have practice until late in the night and then I have homework. But no matter how many things I have to do or how overwhelmed I get I look to God to guide me and give me strength.
