Intro Blog : All About Marissa


 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 would continue cheering, first for the city of Sunrise and eventually all star team, as well as school. 

Ever since I started school, I had a tendency to set high standards for myself. I like to call myself an overachiever, even though that has dimmed down a little. I have always received honor roll, and maintained a steady GPA. Although I was able to accomplish a lot, I remained humble. I never liked talking about myself and my successes to others. I typically kept quiet when it came to myself. Even now In high school, I never like to brag about my grades. 

This tendency to keep to myself was not only present in school, but my everyday life as well. I am a very busy and hardworking person, and I manage to maintain a social life, good grades, and self pleasure ( for the most part). I am a Girl Scout, I have a job, I have practice 4 days a week, games and competitions on the weekend, and taking AICE and Honors classes. Even with all that I do, I don't like bragging to others about all that I'm involved in.  

Maybe I should stop talking now. I've gone on some sort of rampage of words, and begun to spit out my life story. I tend to type or talk a lot, either when I get bored or I'm really interested. As of now I'm really interested, I think. Anyway, Ill let you go now. See you next time blog!

Production Blog: Editing

Image
 Hello Blog! I'm back, and this time with more progress on the editing of our opening sequence. Kylee, our dedicated editor decided it would be best to split up the project to work into sections. It made a lot of sense to Hailey and I. In a sense that it would initially help the editing process run more efficiently. And if anything were to go wrong anyway, we had the project shared, and were able to collaborate right in the moment. The idea of splitting sections also allowed involvement from all group members in one aspect or another. Kylee was quick about her selected section. She claimed to edit the ending scenes because she enjoyed them most. She said watching it was intruiging, and it would be the enjoyable to edit. We didn't compete nor complain with her pick, because she was the initial editor. So, it was kind of what kylee wants, kylee gets, type of situation! LOL. We seperated our planning into 3 different days. In which we would complete different tasks. Day 1, we work...

Reflection

Image
 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...

Production Blog : Music

Image
 Hello blog I'm back! Each time we talk, the closer we are to sharing our opening sequence. It is all coming together piece by piece. The next step into our project, was selecting our music. My teacher informed the class that we either had the chance of using owned music or audios off of royalty free music. However, with owned music, you must contact the company or actual owners to be granted permission to use their sound. We would have to receive an email stating the confirmation before we were able to continue with our project. After me and my groupmates discussed, we decided that we don't know how long we'd have to wait to hear back or if they would charge anything. We were only hesitant about royalty free music because the sound choices would be on the generic side. There was a chance of others having either similar, or the same song choices for their opening sequences or movies already out there.  However, it was all going to work out! Royalty free music was copyright ...
