Reflecting on my Commercial!!!

-

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 commercial better, I would use more affects for it. To be honest, I thought my project was a little plain. I tried to use fade in and fade out to make it more “fancy” but I still didn’t really like it completely. I also think that I could’ve used a better font for my captions and descriptions for my photos and videos. I also thought I’ve included one more video, but I don’t know why I didn’t add another one. I also wanted it to reach at least a minute but it only lasted for like 40 minutes. Overall, I liked it for the most part, it wasn’t like it was horrible.

Re-Filming

 As for re-filming our open sequence, we didn’t do much re-filming. When we soon found out that we had did our slightly wrong, we did think about the idea of re-filming. However, we figured that we wouldn’t enough time to even re-film, since it was nearing the end of February. One did we re-film were several parts of our opening sequence. Such as, re-filming the scene if someone laughed or if noise was in the background. At one point we did have to re-film a part only because we changed our mind about using my camera. The camera had really good quality and thought it would be best to use. However, my camera runs on batteries and was about to go dead. So, we re-filmed the part where Ludji is on the phone talking to the other person, me. If we were to re-film,  we would probably re-film the outside of my house. When I recorded the outside of my home, it was still pretty bright outside. The time taking place during this film is like evening, dusk time. Showing the house while it’...

It was pretty easy

 Editing was easy for the most part since I already knew what I was doing. I used an app that I was familiar with so I wouldn’t have to learn how to use a different app. I added certain edits in there like split screen, fade in, fade out, and so on. I just inserted a clip, maybe shortened it or made it longer so it could match the length of the song we used. The only editing I had to do on the song was to fade the sound in towards the beginning and to fade the sound out towards the end of the music video. I also had to lower the sound for a period of time so the dialogue of the video was present. The only thing that was stressful and annoying was when the app (Alight Motion) would lag, glitch, or kick me out of the app. Other than that editing was pretty smooth. I tried to edit and film at the same time so it wouldn’t be as much work. However, in the end I just ended up editing after I was done filming everything. When I had to edit the video, it wasn’t the “editing” I thought we h...

Peer Review

 For our film we got two people to critique our blog. To be honest, they had absolutely nothing bad to say and thought that it was really good. Lyne, said that she didn’t think anything was wrong. She said she loved the choice of music. She also said that she loved how it got louder at the climax of the film. She said that she actually got scared on the part, which was the climax of the film. This was a bonus because our movie genre is horror, so that’s the whole idea. Ludji also asked another friend for critiques. Her name was Valentina. She also had nothing bad to say about our film too and thought that it was really good. She said that are video was really good. She hoped that her turns out like ours. The only critique she had was that at one point it sounded like the music sounds like it restarts. Valentina said that the cut of the music in the back was a little obvious. So we are going to fix it. She said to just try to make it smoother and blend in better. Just so that it’s n...
