Reflection: The Commercial

Let's reflect... 

Hello Blog! I have finally created my commercial and now it is time to reflect upon myself.

    What technology did I end up using? Well, I ended up using mainly my phone. Using my phone, I was able to edit and tweak my commercial no matter where I was. I also used my computer which helped me transfer certain photos and videos from other devices. But, when using editing software, I switched from my computer to my phone, especially since the computer was more complicated. 

    I also used my camera, which I learned more about while I captured some photos I thought would fit in. But, I decided to not incorporate them, since I had learned to use my phone camera more precisely. This gave me the ability to have high quality photos and videos, such as the one of the concert and the ones of myself. Other than that, I had learned how to transfer music that I wanted. The program I was using, CapCut, did not have the song I wanted, so I learned how to convert, and transfer the audio directly.

    What do I think I can do better? I definitely believe I can improve on a lot of things. One of these things is the way I chose my transitions. I could next time, use more advanced transitions that would make the video look better, and help me be better at creating. I could also learn to create better introductions.

    The introduction I used may have been too bleak, as well as too abrupt. I also had the music fade in, which was a nice touch but next time I need to learn to execute this better. The video of the concert may have been too sudden, because I did include a sound bridge as planned, but it wasn't a good sound bridge. Both the songs overlapped, and although they matched the same tempo, verbal rather than musical audio sound bridge would have been better. An example of this is the first video I included, which had a verbal sound bridge that I really liked.
