My Commercial





This was the first commercial I have ever tried making. Re-watching and looking back at the project, there are some tweaks I could have made, to improve the quality of the video. Throughout this project, I have learned many aspects of filming. For example, I used different angles, and adjusting the lighting. I also edited sound to play in the background, and to insert different clips. I am proud of the outcome of this project, and satisfied with all I have learned throughout the process of filming and editing.

I had to make the best of what I had, and continued to film and direct. After I came back from the beach, I went on to my computer and imported the videos into my editing software. I re-aligned all of the videos so that it did not look choppy. Now that all of my films are done, I decided to start editing the same day. I did not get finished with all of the editing, so I had to work on it through Sunday as well.

I was having trouble with using the music and the dialogue at the same time, but I adjusted the volume of the music and made it seem like the dialogue was far away sounding. After ...

This was a long process, but I am glad that it is over with. All I have to do now is touch up some errors and turn it in. Throughout this long process I learned how to make a 2 minute opening sequence, embed music, edit and place titles. There were a lot of setbacks that came from making this film, but I managed to get through it. Some of the characters had to be changed because they did not come through in the process, as well as some scenes the characters were in. I was still flexible enough to keep the show going on, and finish the final product. It was hard to get some of the camera angles because of where the scenes took place.
