   Hey there, fellow readers! I recently embarked on an exciting creative endeavor — making my very own "All About Me" commercial. I've been wanting to share a glimpse of my life and passions, and what better way than through a personalized video. In this blog post, I'll take you through my thought process and the tools I plan on using for this fun project.

  First off, the setting. I've decided to film this commercial in the cozy confines of my home. It's  where I feel most comfortable and authentic. Plus, I can easily curate a background that reflects my personality and interests. And speaking of interests, let me share what's been captivating my attention lately. I've lately started watching the TV show "Suits," and wow, has it been an exhilarating ride of legal drama and astute humor. I was motivated to infuse my commercial with the same vigor and resolve as the protagonists' unwavering quest of achievement. It sounds like a good idea to add a hint of "Suits" atmosphere to my project.

To the auditory front now. My life is heavily influenced by music, and one of my favorite musicians, Rod Wave, has released a new album. I'm thrilled to use his soulful music into my commercial to give it a beat that captures the essence of who I am. Everything revolves around putting a little bit of myself into every facet of this endeavor. I've made the decision to film using my dependable iPad Pro to assure the highest quality possible. This device's camera produces beautiful images, and I think it will live up to the vision I have for my ad. Additionally, it's handy and portable, enabling me to shoot in various locations around my house that highlight my own personality.

I'll be using Capcut for the editing process. It's a program with robust editing capabilities, making it ideal for creating a commercial that accurately captures who I am. I can easily realize my creative ideas because to the intuitive design and wealth of options. Not to mention the background music. I've chosen Kanye West's "Monster" to give my commercial a vibrant, upbeat feel. This track's beat and intensity match the mood I'm going for, heightening the excitement of the viewing experience.

In a nutshell, this journey is about fusing my interests, my passions, and the power of technology to produce something that is honestly and completely myself. I'm excited to present the finished product to you all and I hope you'll find it to be as genuine and interesting as I do. (P.S I also started editing my blog with my nephew!)

  Hey everyone! We're back with another update, this time taking you behind the scenes of the editing process for our Final Task project. After filming wrapped up on Fort Lauderdale Beach (those summer vibes are coming in strong!), it was time to turn all that footage into something magical. The first step involved gathering all the clips from my amazing group members. We created a shared album to make it easy, and then it was game on! Instead of jumping straight into fancy title cards, I decided to focus on building a solid foundation. Think of it like laying the groundwork for a house – you wouldn't decorate before the walls are up, right? So, I started by creating a rough cut of the entire Final Task. This meant going through all the footage, clip by hilarious clip, and weeding out any bloopers, shaky bits, or anything that just didn't quite fit the flow. Let's just say there were some interesting outtakes that didn't make the final cut! Once I had a clean, cohe...

  Hey bloggers. As of right now, we're trying to figure out what we're going to do and how we'll plan for our music video. We won't have costumes that stand out but most likely an outfit that would match well with the original music video. When it comes to where we might film, our options are either school or scenes to represent a "city". For example, many tall buildings. Places with a lot of people and colors. I do have work and Alyssa usually has to watch my brother after school so it's going to be a bit tricky to find an exact time but we are talking about it and trying to make it work. Eventually, we will find some time that is convenient for both of us. The only "props" that we'd use in a sense would be our phones to record but I'm not so sure that would be considered a prop. Other than that, we don't really have "props" that we'd use but we are going to talk it over the next time we see each other. Now, if there is...
