 Hey blog! Its Marissa again here, and I am officially done with my commercial! I hope it was entertaining to watch. I am here to reflect on the experience and creation of the video. I first started off with the technological device of a Ipad. I chose the Ipad because its not as big as a computer, has many features, and has editing software other computers may not have. I used the editing software of Cap cut to then publish my commercial. I did actually have my phone, to select pictures from my camera roll and send videos as well. I chose my Ipad not only because of the ease of maneuvering it, but because I have alot of storage on my Ipad. After downloading capcut on my Ipad, I explored this app and was able to find my way around it, implementing photos and videos to then make my commercial. During the process of putting the commercial I would like to believe I learned alot. I learned to not only edit, but the steps it takes to publish a proper commercial. This commercial showed me tha

Hey Blog! Here is my final commercial. Grab a few skittles, a water, and enjoy watching it!

 Hello lovely blog family! I cannot believe this is one the last blogs before my final commercial! I am super excited as my production of the video is coming to an end. Now that I have added all of my photos, videos, and song choice, I am now selecting my final touches. This includes any extra transitioning, editing, or effects present in my commercial.  When I inserted my music into the commercial, the duration turned out to be around 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I didn't want that long of a commercial, so I first went in by trimming the sound. After that, I then shortened the video duration, as well as photos to fit the audio. After adjusting the clips and the music, I rearranged the order of my clips. I didn't want just photos and then videos. I set it up in a way that gave variety and "diversity". For instance, I would start with a photo, or two, then 1 or 2 videos, then photos again. To do this, I held down the clips and dragged and dropped them into the new placeme

 Hey blog! I know I say it all the time now, but its Marissa, back again, with another update! Previously, I elaborated on the production of my commercial. This included the photography and videos I added. Now I will be focusing on the addition of the music! This was and is probably one of the most parts of the commercial, as it will be presented in my whole commercial. I wanted to choose a song from one of my and many favorites' artists, to make the commercial more audibly appealing. In my planning blog, I mentioned I wanted to include songs from either SZA or Beyonce. As I weighed my options, the SZA fan inside me had to choose her. So, for the commercial I chose Garden by SZA! Before inserting the music in the app, I had the option and either download the song or screen record it and save it into my album. I chose to screen record, only because I'm certainly not tech savvy just yet. Then I went into the Cap-Cut editing app, and selected an option for audio. There I was able

 Hey blog, long time no talk! I'm back again, preparing for my commercial all about me. Using the same editing app, Capcut, I will now be inserting my videos. Before I began inserting them in the app, I selected some videos from my camera roll that represented me. I chose some that included videos of solely me, me with my friends, and cheerleading family. After choosing them, I went into the app, selected them and imported them into the collage of photos I already had. In the app, I was able to move around the order of videos or photos, by dragging and dropping. After I moved my videos around I, once again, played with some of the editing tools within my videos settings. I saw how I was able to crop my videos and even split them to make different clips. I ended up cropping some videos, to make the video more time efficient. With that, I then adjusted the brightness and saturation of some clips to make the videos either more visible, or dim. This enhanced the quality of some of my v

Welcome back Blog, to yet, another blog! As you may remember, I am currently making a commercial. This little commercial with represent my life. It will include photography and videos that essentially visualize my life. The app I planning to be using for the production of my commercial is Cap Cut. Im going to use this app to put together my items because its not difficult to use. It also has several of features implemented into the editing portions, that will allow me to make somewhat of a quality commercial. The first part of my commercial production, I will be focusing on the photography of my life. I began with creating an album in my camera roll, of the photos I tend to use in my commercial. These photos consisted of me, my friends and family, me at work, cheering, and doing the ordinary Girl Scout things! I tried to include at least one photo of all that I may do in life, so I could really present myself. After selecting my photos, I then downloaded them, and uploaded them into th

 Hey Blog! Its me, Marissa again. Here I am again, typing trying to figure out what I'm going to do for my commercial. This commercial is truly going to represent me. Its going to show some of my interest, hobbies, and the extra curricular activities I involve myself in. There is so much that I do, I wont even know how to compress it into one video! Moving forward, for my music incorporated into the commercial, I would like to choose between some of my favorite artist. I want music that either relates to me or gives off the best energy. Some artist I have been considering are SZA, Beyonce, and Nicki Manaj. I have always loved listening to these artists growing up, besides SZA, who I have recently started listening to in the past several of years. I plan on using the music of either of these artists not only because I love them, but because I honestly feel like there music actually suits my vibe. I believe in the saying " There is always a deeper meaning behind the lyrics of a

 Hey there blog, its Marissa here! I'm new to this blogging stuff so it should be a new and interesting experience. Before this journey begins, I believe you should know a little about me. I am 15 years old, and I am an April + Aries baby. I like to believe that anyone who accompanies the zodiac sign of an Aries is superior. Its a fire sign, so we typically come fierce, and demanding. I'm not a big astrology person, however I do find myself often relating to what the astrology experts say. Anyway, enough with the silly astrology. I was born in Augusta, Georgia, which is about an hour away from Atlanta. I moved to Florida around the age of 5, when my mother met my stepdad. My whole family and childhood remains in Georgia, so I am very fortunate when I'm able to visit. I only go a few times a year, so I try to make the most out of it. When I was about 4, my love for cheer arose. I would often cheer with my older cousin who was in High School. Even when I moved to Florida, I w
