Editing Blog: The experience of editing

 I did a lot of research going into this project and believe it or not, I found zero websites on how to make an advertisement/commercial on a skincare product. The chances of me finding that website would have been the guidance I needed to make this commercial perfection. Unfortunately, I didn't find it but I decided on another method. I sat down and watched various skincare ads and noted the reoccurring themes it had. I also kept in mind what I was influenced by in the ads and what I could attempt to do in my own ad. So the journey began, and sooner or later I started to film and that was very challenging for me. I thought to myself since filming was so hard editing may be the easy part, but spoiler alert, there is no easy parts, editing was just as challenging. 

Although Google brought me no luck in finding the information I needed to make my commercial, Youtube really was beneficial. Jumping into editing I didn't take into consideration a lot of things. For example, I didn't how to make a voiceover, I didn't know how to add text to videos, and I didn't know to add music to videos. This was super frustrating to me and I wanted to find a super quick and easy way to figure it out. And of course, I found all the answers to my questions on Youtube. After that everything ran smoothly and I began to enjoy the experience of editing. I felt that wonderful feeling of proficiency. 

Once I finished, I reached a total of 29 seconds sadly, so I adjusted a couple of clips, and lucky me I got it to the requirement of 30 seconds. I watched the video a couple times to make sure it's alright and I realized I didn't get to use all the clips I recorded and I noticed I changed around the order that I originally planned it to be according to my storyboard but I like the final version better.

Production Blog: Back to Filiming

Image
 Over the 3 day weekend, I used all the time I had to my advantage. I'm really proud of myself and what I got accomplished. Filiming was surprisingly easier than anticipated. Although it took longer than I expected; everything was organized and planned to perfection. I had the best lighting, no interruptions, and my cousin seemed to know what she was doing. So we also had an amazing time together filming. I honestly believe it made us closer, which is a plus. Watching the scenes we recorded together gave us the opportunity to reshoot and modify things that needed to be changed. For example, how the pillow was positioned or my facial expression. She contributed to a lot and I really think without her help this wouldn't be possible.  Moreover, like mentioned beforehand, the scene that we recorded took a long time to shoot. We spent 2 whole days on it and lucky for me she decided to spend the night. So time was not a factor while we were filming because we had all the time in the

CeraVe Commercial

(I've uploaded the video using two different methods just in case one method doesn't work.) My journey of making my first official AICE Media project has finally come to a close. From here on, I know what to expect; and this is definitely a class I have to work my hardest on. Doing this project was just a taste of what I have to do next and I'm prepared for it. With this project, I guarantee I tried my absolute best. Additionally, I want to acknowledge that I will improve my skills as well. I understand I could have made the commercial have a cooler storyline or made it slightly more entertaining. However, I wanted to follow the conventions of a skincare ad and usually, those types of things don't happen. I know for next time I should do my project however I want, creativity is key. I want to entertain my audience so they enjoy watching. I'll continue to improve by finding new techniques on how to accomplish this. (Perhaps more research could help). Also, I did a de
