Commercial Reflection

When I was working on my commercial I had to learn how to use capcut. I already knew how to put pictures and videos into capcut but I didn't know how to add transitions or sounds. In order to know how to do these thing I found a YouTube video explaining how to use capcut. I also learned that I can adjust the amount of time each video or picture is in the commercial for. When I put my voiceovers into the commercial I had to adjust the picture lengths to fit the voiceovers in the time that the picture was up. Because the song I wanted to use wasn't in capcut's song selection I decided to find the song on YouTube and screen record it. I then put the part of the song that I want to use in the video by selecting video sounds from my camera roll. After I put the song into the commercial I learned how to edit it so that the noise would fade in and out.

I learned a lot about the process of putting a video together. The YouTube video I watched explained how to use capcut very well. While watching it I learned how to add transitions, sounds, effects, voiceovers, and more. I also learned how to add text to the video. I learned how to put the video in order as well. I made a script for the voiceovers and that helped a lot. When I did the voiceovers, I used my script. It is important to have a script because without one I wouldn't have known what to say for my voiceovers. I also needed to be patient because if I ended up having to change the length of one of the pictures or videos then I would also need to move my voiceovers to fit with their pictures.

In order to make my next project better than this one, I will probably use more effects or better effects. I can also have better sounds. Another thing I can do to make my next project better is spend more time working on it. I also think I would improve if I speak more clearly in my voiceovers. I can also use more text in the commercial to explain things better and in more detail. Something else I could do to improve next time is be clearer on my blogs when explaining my process for making said project. I could also get right to the point on my blogs.

Film Review Blog

I asked my friend Conner to review by movie. I wasn't really sure what he would think, but I was excited to get his reaction. He is in my class, so we could watch it together. The first time we watched it, he laughed when my parents found out I was invisible. He thought it was funny that my dad was looking for me in the dishwasher. He also laughed when I stole my dad's breakfast.  When we got to the part where I put chocolate sauce on my brother's bagel, he asked why my hand was in the shot. I explained that I had thought about that before we shot the footage. I decided that since the movie was shot from my perspective and I didn't know that I was invisible, I would have been able to see my hand. As a result, I thought it was okay to include that shot. He agreed that that made sense. We continued watching and he laughed when I pulled the chair out from under my brother. At the end he said that he really liked it. We watched it together one more time. This time we talked...

My Pitch

Pitch A:   A boy is watching a scary movie with his brother when he hears the doorbell ring. Pitch B:   A boy wakes up one morning and realizes his family members can’t see him. In Pitch A, a boy and his brother are home alone watching a scary movie. They are worried they may have made the wrong choice of movie. Suddenly they hear knocking at their door. They pause the movie and listen. They hear more knocking and unusual sounds outside. Finally, they work up the courage to answer the door… and it’s the pizza delivery man. In Pitch B, a boy wakes up one morning and heads to the kitchen as usual. But when he gets there and says hello to his mother, she can hear him, but she can’t see him. He is literally right in front of her, and she cannot see him. Once he realizes what’s happening, he decides to go for mischief. A funny morning of pranks follows. My final decision: Since I actually don’t love scary movies, I’ve decided to do Pitch B – the invisible boy. I think it wo...

Re-Editing Blog

After I looked over the movie at the end of my last blog, I found some things that I wanted to change. One of these things was the title screen showing the actor's names. It looked like the picture included in this blog, but I wanted the names to be center aligned. After I changed it in the PowerPoint I made my title screens on, I used the Snipping Tool to cut out the slide and save it as a PNG file. I then uploaded the picture to CapCut, and placed the original. After this, I edited it to be in the movie for the same length of time as my other title screens.  Another thing I had to change was the Music By title screen since I didn't have anything on it. I didn't have anything on it because I wasn't sure my movie needed music, however I knew it was a requirement. So I needed to find a song and get that edited in to the movie. The song I picked was on Spotify. I used my phone to do a screen recording while I listened to the part of the song that I wanted to use. I only n...
