Reflection

Image
       Hey there, as you can see, this is my reflection blog, I want to talk about my journey through making this project.     So first of all I want to talk about the technology I had to learn to use. So of course I used my computer which is an Apple computer, to write my blogs, not all of my blogs were written on my home computer though, for one or two of my blogs I used the computers provided to us by the school. Although I was used to these computers I did have to learn how to use Blogger, I never heard of the website so it was something I Had to learn to use. Besides using the computers for the actual commercial I had to use my phone, and I had to download Capcut. I never used Capcut in my life, so that was a whole new experience to learn, I struggled many times when using the app, like how to crop a video or how to add in a song that wasn't available in the app, but in the end, I was able to figure it out and now I'm not so lost when using the app.          Moving on I wa

Production blog- Final touches

    Hey there, so in my previous post, I solved my problem about a section of my commercial. That was dealt with and now I am very close to finishing my commercial, I don't want to say it is the best commercial ever because this is my first time editing and creating my own video, especially about myself but I will say I'm pretty proud of it. As of a day ago, I had my two pictures and two videos added to my commercial, I just added my last picture and video. The picture is of me with one of my martial arts friends from around two years ago, it was aster and we were helping out, even though I wasn't wearing my full uniform, in the photo that is what I usually use for training but for testing, I have a jacket that goes over it. Now the video which is not too long, the video shows what a regular day in the dojo would be like, I will usually be with the same person when training because I am comfortable with them. Seeing that I added all my pictures and videos I am missing the l

Production Blog- The solution

     Hey there, I am back, In my last blog I talked about how I hit a wall because I couldn't find any videos of me or even pictures of me baking, so I was thinking about substituting that hobby with another hobby I had which was choir, as I explained in my previous blog I was willing to find at least one picture and video of me in chorus and after long hours into looking at my mothers Facebook page, I finally found a photo of me in a dress for the first-ever concert I performed in, it has a black top and dark blue on the ends. The video I was thinking of adding was a song called "One Love, One Heart" by Bob Marley & The Wailes, the reason for this is that it had an easy synchronized dance in the song that I thought was nice to add in, but the video wasn't very good so I decided to go with another song I sang. The song is called "Top of the World" by the Carpenters, this song was probably my favorite to sing in choir. When looking at the video there are

Production Blog- Hitting a wall

     Hey there, I'm back, today I have finally downloaded capcut. I have never used this app before but I did have a friend use it, but I wanted to learn how to use it on my own. Many TikTokers use this app to edit their videos and that is what I will also be doing. I am planning to begin with a black cover with my full name and my date of birth, in the middle it in white letters it will say "Me and my hobbies". After I had done that, I added my first picture which is me on a white horse called Rainy, he passed away a few days ago, but he was one of my favorite horses ever, the picture has a filter with stars around the border. Following that will be my first video in the commercial, it is me riding the same horse around the arena, I was getting used to trotting with the horse and trying to find a bond with him. That part of my commercial is done. Now here is when I hit a wall, as I said in my previous blogs, my second hobby was baking, I wanted to add a photo about it, b

Production Blog- Putting it together

     Hey there, so I wanna talk about how I am going to do my commercial, to begin with, you might ask where am I going to edit my photos and videos well, I will be using an app called capcut. Campcut is an all-in-one video editing app that will help me create my commercial. Knowing that the commercial is about me and I will be showing the hobbies I grew up with till I found the one for me, I will start with the earliest one which was horseback riding, I will show a picture of me on a horse and then follow up with a video with me running with a horse. Then I'll transition with a picture of me with a hair net, this will show when I went to a bakery and was shown the steps of how to bake horse cookies, I don't think I have a video of me baking so that's when we move on. Finally, I will show a picture of me in my martial arts uniform, if I remember right it was easter and we had a bit of a field day, the instructors which included me had to hide eggs for the students, it was a

Research and Planning Blog

 Hey there, so as you can see this will be a research and planning blog, I will be talking about 3 pictures I selected about me of course! Not only that but I will also talk about 2 videos and 2 songs about me and how they represent me. The first picture is me on a horse, ever since I was young my family has been around horses knowing that their job involved horses so I found interest in them, I used to ride horses and know a lot about them, but as the years moved on my interest in them decreased, I was so use to horses they were just a daily part of my life, that's when picture number two comes in where I am baking. I'm not sure how old I was when I got into baking but I knew those were fun days, I was so invested in baking that I thought to sell the things I baked, and in the end... well let me say they tasted how they looked. They were either overcooked or undercooked, and after maybe three years of trying to bake well I didn't get any better, I do enjoy baking but when

Intro Blog

       Hey there, I'm Jennifer, or Jenn for short, I go to Fort Lauderdale High School, and I am doing the pre-law program that my school offers, knowing that this is my first blog ever I want to talk about myself so you can get to know me better, or what I like to call them "fun facts". To start, I am currently fifteen years old, and my birthday is on November 14, which in astrology makes me a Scorpio. I would consider myself to be a very introverted person, some people might think it's lonely like my extroverted friends who love being around people, but in all honesty, I enjoy my time alone, I find it calming to not be around people once in a while, I usually listen to my favorite artist which would be The Weeknd, but what I enjoy the most is when I am home alone and it starts to rain, It's such a peaceful environment and amazing time to read too. I am very into academics knowing that my future depends on my grades because I want to go to college, I might not ge
