Research and Planning Blog

 The process of choosing my photos, videos, and songs, for my commercial was hard. It was a hard process because it took me a while to pick the photos and I didn't have much photo's so I had to ask my mom to send me photos. Which took awhile. I choose the photos I did because I really liked these photos as some of them showed me in places I traveled to that I enjoyed. In one of the photo's I am in Italy and the other one I'm in Ukraine. I also wanted to show my family because there are really important to me.  And then I chose the one of me eating a cupcake because I really liked that photo of me and also I made those cupcakes with my mom. For my videos, I chose one of me and my siblings and one with my friend. I chose these because I thought it was a special moment with me and my siblings. I chose the one with my friend because she is one of my closest friends who I met last year and who I got really close with. Picking the songs was an easy process because I picked my favorite songs. The first song was Charismatic by Hailey Knox. My sister introduced me to this song it's been one of my favorite ever since. I like the song because of the meaning the beat and the lyrics. The meaning of this song is about self-acceptance and breaking from society's expectations. Which I relate to a lot. In middle school, I became really insecure about myself and found it hard to be myself. But recently I started to become more comfortable with myself and not care about what anyone else thinks but only what I care about. The next song I picked was Ditto by New Jeans. This is also one of my favorite songs. I also love the group New Jeans. New Jeans is a girl group that makes Korean music also known as kpop. I love K-pop which is why I wanted to choose a K-pop song. This song is about wanting a romantic relationship with someone but doesn't want to take the risk of losing them. I don't relate to the song but I relate to the music video of the song. The music video shows cases a different meaning from the song. It's about the relationship between fans and idols. It shows how idols help fans distract them from reality but when a problem occurs in their life they realize they are actually lonely and are longing for someone to understand and validate their experiences. But no one is there for them and their idols obviously are not there for them either. I relate to this because K-pop helped me escape reality but it also helped me realize how detached it made me from reality which I knew was a problem that I had to overcome. Bye and thank you for reading.

 For this project, I'm going to be working by myself. However, my sister will help me with the filming part. My sister's name is Natalie. I chose her to help me film because it would make the opening sequence better. I wanted to work by myself on this project because I felt like I could make a good opening sequence by myself and with the help of my sister. I could do a better job being by myself because I don't have to stress on relying on others if they did their part and I'm able to have total control of making something that I want to do. My sister and I are different so, for this opening sequence, she can help or contribute a few suggestions to make this a good opening sequence. I can use Natalie because she is my sister we both take this class but, in different periods. Since I'm her sister I know what her work ethics are like. And I can trust her that she will help me with making the opening sequence. For this project, my sister is going to help me with the fi...

Adding transitions and overlays

 On February 27 I continued to edit my opening sequence. On this day I did overlays and added transitions. I wanted to add an overlay for the scene when the main character was calling her friend on the bed. To do this I changed my own contact's name to "bestie" and made it look like I was calling someone. I took a picture of the call. Then imported the picture to CapCut. To do this I clicked on the "add photo" at the bottom of CapCut and then chose the photo I wanted. After I clicked on the photo went to the options on the bottom and chose "overlay". After choosing the overlay I dragged it to the scene where I wanted. Adjusted the size and placed it on top of my phone. Then adjusted the length of the overlay of how long I wanted to have it on the screen. This was a little bit hard to do because I hadn't done something like this before. So, to add this overlay it took about forty-five minutes or more to do. I did the same steps for the "unknown...
