AICE Media Studies

During the production of my commercial I used many different technologies. For example, I used CapCut, my MacBook, the school computer and YouTube. These programs not only helped me through this project but for ones in the future too. Now, if I ever need to make a video, I know how to add video, audio and transitions. I will definitely be carrying these new skills with me in the future to come. The process of assembling my project showed me to balance of creativity and organization. From start to finish, I learned the building blocks to a successful production. Each element--visual, audio and  dialogue-- must be in harmony to be successful. Understanding this deepened my appreciation to presenting ideas through digital media. This lesson in project assembly highlights the necessity of a strategic and well-thought-out approach. Ensuring a seamless transition from one piece of media to the next, capturing the audience and engaging them and keeping consistency were crucial elements in thi

Hey enjoy I worked hard on this thanks for watching!

        Hello Cambridge, this is my 4th and final Production blog. Today I will be discussing with you my final tweaks, revisions and edits of my commercial. Each day I have previously accomplished something. Since day one, I have set a deadline and expectations for me to complete my commercial on time. Ever since Tuesday I have been persistent. And even when it got tough and I didn't feel like doing it. At the end of the day I still got it done. Now that the commercial is in it's final stages, I will be revising it and making sure everything is good with it. I just finished revising and tweaking. And I found a few flaws. For example, one of the pictures I included was shown shorter than the other ones. By this I mean every video except one was shown for say .02 seconds. While others were shown for 2 seconds. If I hadn't double checked that could've been bad. Another imperfection I noticed was the music uploaded was explicit. So I had to quickly change that. That also c

  Good evening, Cambridge today is the third day of me working on the production of my commercial. Yesterday and Tuesday were extremly productive. I completed finding the photos. Along with the music for the commercial. That just leaves today and tommorrow to choose an editing software, peer review my commercial and tweak and edit/make any changes. Today I have completed finding an editing software to use. It took me about 30 minutes to search and find a reliable and trusty one. I split between iMovie and CapCut. But finally, I settled down and chose CapCut. CapCut has nothing but amazing reviews and I can use it on any computer/phone/iPad. As opposed to iMovie, which is limited to only Apple devices. Once I downloaded CapCut on my computer. At first it was extremely comlicated to navigate. I did not know what to do or how to use it. I tried everything. I looked up tutorials and everything. But finally my little sister showed me what to do. From there on out it was extremely easy to na

               Good evening Cambridge, so far I have been extremely productive with my commercial. Yesterday was a sucess. I found all of the photos I will be including in my commercial. Eventhough, there were some hurdles in the way. I overcame them. Right now it is about eight o'clock. And I have chosen a song for my commercial. The song is Too Good by Drake aka Aubrey Drake Graham and Rihanna. This song has a great signifigance to me, my life and upcoming. Ever since I was five or so years old I listened to Drake. Hotline Bling was my favorite song along with Too Good, One Dance and God's plan. Drake has influenced my life and that is why I'm going to include him in my commercial. It took me and while to figure out which song to include. I wanted to include one of drakes songs but it was too explicit. Then while trying to find another one it wouldnt upload. Finally, I added Too Good and it fit my commercial perfectly. It was perfect too because it brought back many memor

  Good morning Cambridge, it's Finn back with another blog. It is currently September 19th at approximately at 8:30. Today I will be talking about the planning of my commercial. I will be setting deadlines to insure me completing my project on time. Here is how I will divide the work. Today I will be selecting my photos. Tommorrow I will be picking my music. Thursday I will be picking my software for the project. And Friday I will make tweaks and edits. I have selected fifteen photos and I will be showing them for two seconds each. I will be selecting a photo for each year of my life. The signifigance of a photo for each year of my life is to show the progression of me over the years. I will be including birthday photos, baseball photos, family photos and photos with friends. Those are some of the most important things to me and that is why I will include them. The photo of my friends I will include is my friend group from middle school. We have been friends since 6th grade and to

                                     Hey Cambrige, for this particular chapter in my blog I had a lot of trial and error. For example, at first I wanted to chose a song that I enjoy to listen to before baseball games to represent me. But due to the fact that the song was explicit I could not attach it. I tried to add a reggae song that me and my dad always listen to in the car on the way. But I could not find a link on YouTube for it. Reggae and music in general has been a crucial part in my uprising. As a young kid and still to this day I always listen to reggae artists such as Bob Marley and Ziggy Marley just to name a few. What speaks to me and my family the most about reggae is that it has such an uplifting beat and catchy lyrics which can get you in a good mood almost instantly. Another thing that represents me is Ronald Acuña Jr. he is an MLB player for the Atlanta Braves. I idolize him and his playing style and mimic him through my game. I study his swing and strive to be like h

                                                                Hey Cambridge it's Finn OBrien let me tell you a little about my origin. I was born February 20th 2008 and I was born in Imperial Point hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. That makes me fifteen years old. I have a decently sized family. I have a Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister and Dog. I am the oldest child that makes me the role model in the family. I started my academic career at Virginia Shuman Young Elementary. Then I went to Sunrise Middle school and now I attend Fort Lauderdale High School. During these years of school I played many sports. For example, I started off playing soccer and baseball at a young age. I later set focus to just baseball and I have been playing for ten years. Baseball has been my passion for so long because it helps me exercise while having fun. I also like baseball because I can practice with my dad. For example, I wakeup at 5am every morning to hit in the batting cages with my dad. We both h
