 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Todays blog will consist of me reflecting on my first project; the commercial about myself. During this project I learned how to use the editing app Cap Cut. This is one of the few apps you can use to edit videos together, while adding audio and transitions. I had always heard about Cap Cut and seen other using it to create videos. But I never had my own first hand experience using it. I learned how to add different transitions between pictures and videos to give the final result a better look. From this experience I also learned how to extract audio from a video to add it on to my own. I simply picked a video from my camera roll with the audio I wanted incorporated into my commercial. Then it transferred the audio on to the new video I was creating. I found that super interesting because I had never even thought about doing that. During the process of creating my commercial I quickly learned that you need to be organized in or...

 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Today i'm here to present to you guys the finished product of my commercial, hope you guys enjoy. Until next time Michi Nation. -Xoxo Michelle 

 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Today I put my commercial together on Cap Cut, the app mentioned in the first vlog. I started off by adding all the pictures and videos I picked prior when planning my commercial out. Now it was time to get the timing right, which definitely takes time. I was stuck in between having the videos or pictures longer. But then I realized that one of my videos was 3 seconds max. To resolve my issue I decided to make the 3 videos different lengths and keep all the pictures the same length. It might seem like it would look weird but trust me it looks fine. Back to my song I picked "Skyline To" by Frank Ocean as you may know. I really love this song to me this song has a very deep meaning. To me this song is signifying to enjoy and value our moments of joy because time will continue forward no matter what. Which sticks to me because i'm a strong believer that happy moments in life are something you should enjoy to the fullest....

 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Today were back with the continuation of my commercial. As I mentioned before I will be giving a brief meaning of the 3 videos I picked for the commercial. The first video I chose is a video of Owen, Jenny and Myself. We were on the way to my best friends John's birthday party on the beach. It was perfect because I love the beach and got to go celebrate someone I love. I wanted to add a video that I took from the Future concert because it signifies that I really enjoy concerts. I feel like it shows something I enjoy to do on my free time and a great way to spend time with my friends. For my third video I've decided to add a video that I have of my best friends Nancy, John, and myself from Johns Digital camera. We were at this pizza place hanging out and the digital camera made the moment a little bit more special. The time has come guys today i'm making my final decision on what song I will have in my commercial. My mai...

 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Today were going to be continuing our commercial. I've decided to use 4 pictures and 3 videos instead of 3 pictures and 3 videos. This way it will start with a picture and end with a picture. For my first picture I chose a younger picture of me. It's a picture of me from 2015 which means I was 8 years old how cute. I honestly think its one of my favorite pictures of myself. My next picture was a picture of me in DR this shows how much I enjoyed that vacation and it will always be a part of me. DR really changed my life it made me realize that theres so much more to life. Especially that the little things matter the most, I think we all need to hear that sometimes. The following picture is a picture of me and my bestie Jenny with our matching spider-man shirts. We went to watch the new spider-man movie and found the cutest shirts in the kids section so we bought them. I really enjoyed this day and its a forever memory. For m...

 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! Today i'm going to be starting to put together my commercial about myself. I'm still in between using CapCut and Adobo Photoshoot. After looking at both options i'm going to do my video on CapCut. I chose it rather than Adobo Photoshoot because I can get more features for free, rather than having to spend my money. Im still trying to figure out how long I should put the picture and videos. I know for sure I want the videos to be longer than the pictures. Im going to put the pictures somewhere around 1.5, 2 seconds long. I have some videos with my friends that I might add, if I do I want to make them a good chunk. This way you can see the point of the video. But when I tried making the videos around 10 seconds, it took up too much of the commercial. I tried 5 seconds and I liked how it looked much better. Honestly this is a big work in progress I will say. I still haven't chose my song but its okay thats something we...

 Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog! On todays lovely episode I am going to start working on my commercial vlog. To start off I need to look for 3 pictures of myself. I want the one of them to be of me when I was little. So it could start from when I was younger and then go on to how I look now. In order to acquire this picture of me I had to go deep down my camera roll. Now that I have this picture I can begin to look for my other ones. Not going to lie I have way to many pictures of myself so this shouldn't be to difficult. Actually it will be because Im very indecisive ESPECIALLY when it comes to pictures. Now that i've finally picked my 2 remaining pictures I can move on to the of myself. I don't have videos of my younger self, so I have to use current videos. Which is also a problem because I barely have any videos of myself. Okay so my plan is to use 3 videos and 3 photos. This way the commercial can be photo > video > photo > video > pho...

 Hey Michi nation, welcome to your new favorite blog! My names Michelle Martinez but to many I go by Michi. I go to Fort Lauderdale high school and i'm in 11th grade. I've gone there since freshman year so i'm very familiar with the school. Im enrolled in the Cambridge program this is my last year taking it. This year i'm taking 4 AICE classes which consist of Media Studies, Spanish, Thinking skills, and US history. I take a lot of pride in my academics and try my best to maintain a high GPA. Doing good in school is something very important to me. When it comes to personality mines very outgoing but I like to stick to the couple friends that I have. I personally think that a smaller friend group is better than a large one. My best friends are very dear to me and I care about them a lot. Ive been best friends with Nancy and John since 6th grade, they're my family. Now me and Jenny on the other hand have always been friends but became supper close during my sophomore ...
