Reflection - All About Me Commercial

1. What technology did you learn to use? 

     I learned to use iMovie and YouTube. IMovie greatly impacted my commercial because editing really put it all together. I also helped my classmates with using iMovie. I don't know what I would do if I didn't edit my commercial with IMovie. YouTube was surprisingly very easy. I helped my classmates upload their videos as well as my own. I even learned how to embed it onto Blogger which was very fun! 
 It was a process and took a little bit to get used to, but it ended up being really good! 

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

    I learned many things about the process of putting a project together. One thing is that you have to 
be patient. Editing takes time so it's easy to get annoyed because of how long it is to put in the 
effort and hard work. Another thing is that if you don't know how to do something then you should
always ask a peer or search it up. I have spent countless of times searching things up because things
can get confusing sometimes! One more thing that I learned was that you should always trust the 
process. Believing in yourself is all that you need to make a good project and will always turn out 
good when you do it!


  1. 3. What do you think you can do to make the next project better? 

 

    I think what I can do to make my next project better is to get an early start on it. It is not that I procrastinated, but I believe that I should have gotten it done earlier so if I wanted to make slight changes then I could. Another thing I can do to make the next project better is to put more effort and detail into the editing. I do not mind what I did for my commercial, but it is something to get used to. This is only the first project so I know in the future I will look back on it and wonder why I did that or why I chose that. This project was a great head start and the next projects will eventually get better. I cannot wait to start doing more! 


4. Anything else you would like to add?


    I wanted to say that I had a blast making this commercial! I have learned a lot about making it and editing it. I know there are things I could have done better but as my first time using iMovie in a long time I think I did great. Technology these days makes things a lot easier than I thought it was. I also loved helping my friends Mia and Kylie with their commercials because it gave me a lot of inspiration to mine. Patience is key and time is your best friend. Don't wait until the last minute to do things and you will be golden!

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  Answer:       This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

 Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
