Reflecting on my Commercial!!!

Image
As for technology I learned to use was really nothing new.  I used an app called Alight Motion to make my commercial. I already knew how to edit and use that app because I am very familiar with it. I also used my phone to make the commercial so I didn’t really learn how to use “new technology”. One thing I can say that I did learn was to export it a different way. When I change the setting for the video, the quality improves which is a plus. It was really simple to make. As for the process of putting a commercial together, I did learn something new. All I do know that it’s a lot simpler than it seems. I wouldn’t say I learned, but I found it easier to insert videos like the 4 photos included. Also adding the videos in and adding the music I used. I learned that all you have to really do is push a plus sign and add the videos you want to the project. I also learned how add in different fonts besides the one the app I used. All in all it was easy to do. I think for next time, to make my

This is Me!!!!

Finally Friday.

 This is my last blog for my commercial and I think I have everything finalized. At least for the most part I have everything. I did run into a little problem when trying to export certain photos when I was just “testing” out my commercial. However, I figured out how to fix in the long run. So, as for photos, I will use four photos that are about me or represent me. I will use two photos of me, myself and two photos of me with my family. As for videos, I’ll use the video of me riding my bike without any training wheels when I was about 5 or 6 years old. Then for the second video, I’ll use a video of me probably getting sung happy birthday to or I might still use the video of me rock climbing. Now, for the song choices, I will use two. I going to use Mikrokosmos and Beautiful Stranger by BTS and Laufey. I will be sure to give credits towards the end of the video. I will write captions like, “5 year old me riding my bike without training wheels, felt like I conquered the world”. Then som

 For my production blog, I have now found all the photos I want to use. Most of the photos I use are going to be when I was a younger child. Also I’ll have around two photos with my family and I. As for a song choice, I’m still debating on what song I should use. I probably use some photos also of me on my upcoming birthday this Thursday since the commercial is due a little bit after my birthday. As for videos, I still plan on using the video of me riding a bike of without any training wheels. For the second video I was going to use the video of me rock climbing. However, I might’ve changed my mind and use a video during my birthday instead, I think turning 15 is a big thing for me. For putting the project together, i’ll still use Alight Motion for it because I always use the app. I’ll just insert the clips and add the song that I want. For the song, I think I might use an instrumental of one of my favorite songs instead, like 2! 3! by BTS or Out of Time by the Weeknd. I feel like inse

i’m tired…

 For my commercial it took me a while to figure out what pictures and videos I want to use. I still set on using a few pictures I took of the sky. Also using some pictures of my family and I. As for videos I was going to use as I said before, a video of me riding a bike with no training wheels. I’m also other people for their opinions on what I should do. I’ve heard quite a few opinions and statements about what I should do. They all think it’s pretty good. I still want to use my camera I got for Christmas to get really good quality on my pictures. I’ll also do like half and half. Maybe 2 photos of the sky I took. Then two photos of myself or me with my family. As for song choice I think I’m still going with Autumn Leaves and possibly change my second choice too For You by BTS or From The Start. In my opinion these songs just give off those aesthetic “commercial vibes”, if that makes sense. As for the whole process of edit I’ll add caption and text to my videos. For example for the vid

 In order for me to produce my blog I am going going to use an app known as Alight Motion. Yes, i’ve figured that Capcut is easy but I’ve been editing for almost two years now and I always use Alight Motion. I will found 3-5 pictures that I think represent me or feel as though something is in the picture I can relate too. In my last blog, I mention I’ll probably using sky photos I took and pictures, which I think those represent me. Also for picture taking, i’ll probably use my camera because I just think it’s cooler. I feel like for videos, I’m going to scroll all the way back up to 2015 when I first learned how to ride a bike without training wheels, and another video of my having fun with my little sister as a little kid. I was there on a board walk as my mom’s friend was pushing me off and I just kept riding never wanting to stop. I feel like this represents how far i’ve made it in life with all the ups and downs i’ve been through. As for song choices, I’m going to use Autumn Leave

For my commercial I will be picking out various sky/clouds pictures I have taken. Video wise I was going to record on my camera I got last Christmas then upload it to my phone. I’m still thinking about what I’m going to do for my commercial so I’m still a little stuck. For the song choices it came down to a lot of choices because I love so many. I was thinking about going with Autumn Leaves, Mikrokosmos, or Paradise by BTS. I was also thinking about using 3005 my Childish Gambino but that song might not have a clean version so I don’t know if I can use it. I might also go with Beautiful Stranger by Laufey because I love that song so much, and I feel like it will match the vibe of the video. I’m not sure what I want to do my commercial on but I think i’ll do it about the outside, like that sky. I’ll probably include my family and dog in there and just record it from outside. The commercial will just be focused on going outside and just looking up at the sky can be the best thing, just r

Intro Blog

 Hi, my name is Mai’Lyia and I’m in 10th grade. I’m 14 years old, turning 15 in a couple of days on September 21st. Yes, I’m still 14 in my sophomore year. I have 4 siblings, one biological, and 3 from different parents. I have one dog, a Doberman Pinscher named Nala. I love listening to music, like a lot. I listen to a lot of genres but k-pop is probably a genre I listen to the most. I love BTS, yes the k-pop group, I got into them in 2019. Most of the time I won’t tell people I like it, they eventually figure it out. My favorite color has always been purple since I was little. It has been a little more significant to me now because of BTS though. I’d like to think of myself as an introvert. I usually only talk to people if they talk to me and then we’ll start talking more. My family would know for sure, I’m a whole different person at home. I’d like to think I’m a nice person, like the type of person to hold the door for the whole classroom or pick up a paper someone dropped. I love
