Reflection

   For this project, there were many firsts for me. I learned how to add external audio. In my previous works I only included the audio from the videos themselves. Now that I downloaded some music and put it into the video it made it much more entertaining and watchable. All I had to do was take it from my files and upload it. However, it was difficult to put the audio in the right spot. I eventually figured it out and I could definitely make another video on this platform again.

  Putting this project together made me learn many things. A diverse array of skills was put together in the making of it. The planning process was where I learned most things. Choosing a background, planning what kind of shots I want, and the music was something I was not familiar with doing. I did not have the most time to do it, so I had to rush and come up with something. Improvision was a huge part of my project. However, I still managed to do it without much help. There was also very little struggle involved and the whole process was quite smooth, thankfully.

  Next project, I'm sure I could do some things differently. Instead of iMovie I could instead use Capcut. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to try any new video editing apps. Even though it was recommended, I still didn't decide to use it. If I am advised to use it, I will certainly install it and use it next time. Another thing is it rained in the location I chose on one of my scenes. This nearly ruined it and certainly made it a lot uglier than it would have been without the rain. I still shot it in the bad weather, but I could imagine my video being much more pleasing to the eye without it.

  Overall, I had a lot of fun making this commercial. It was definitely a good learning experience for me as I did some things I haven't done before. These skills could also be applied in future projects. Mostly everything went smooth as well, which I am very happy with. One or two things could have been better, such as the editing app I used. The weather also could've been nicer but that is something I cannot control. This is Florida, after all!
