Reflecting on My Commercial

 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 order to have a successful final result. If you are organized and have the materials you need from the start everything will be simpler while creating the video. You need to make a plan and stick to it because this will be the baseline of your project. Having a plan and being consistent helped me stay organized. You also need to be prepared to make mistakes. Making mistakes is super normal and common but they can be fixed. You need to make sure you're being thorough and taking your time to avoid little mistakes which can later have bigger consequences. For my next project I want to be more thorough and really think about the little details that can enhance my project. Along with this I also want to add more to my next project. By this I mean add more content that will make the project interesting and add more meaning to it. I want to add videos that show the raw emotion and beauty of film. For audio purposes I want to learn how to edit audio and add it on the desktop version of Cap Cut. This way my skills on Cap Cut will become better and help me create better projects in the future. I feel like the improving little things will show major difference next time around. Well, thats it for today guys hope you guys enjoyed my blog! Until next time Michi nation.
