Reflection

 Hey Bloggers, I'm back. Let's chat a bit and reflect on my commercial and the whole process of it. So it make the commercial the technology I was my phone. Although I'm on my phone like basically 24/7, I didn't know all the like capabilities of it. The features on a iPhone is amazing, especially for stuff like this. Like for the editing of my pictures. I found out different ways for the pictures to look clearer, and this came in handy when using older pictures of myself. Aside from just my phone I learned how to use CapCut way better. I didn't really know how to add like all the different pictures and videos and like move them around, so it made the process a bit longer. I also learned how to add audios over the song to make that moment stick out. For example, the part of my commercial where my friend and I were cheering at the football game. During the making of this project one thing I learned is, procrastination gets you know where and that having a plan is impo

 Hey, it's me Laudjah. It's almost time! It feels like I was working on this for forever. Ever since I made those changes to my project its been going well. I love being able to make this. I've been playing around with where I'm going to put the pictures. I'm still trying to find more videos because I feel like I might have some better ones. But so far, so good. Editing hasn't really caused that much of a struggle, but it has it's challenges. I just want it to look perfect, you know. But I've been trying to learn how to like fade in and out of my pictures and videos. I want it to look like professional for real. Like I probably said before I want it to like reflect me. I don't want it to like look like a powerpoint type thing, you feel me? I've been using TikTok tutorials to help me, and they did a little bit. But what really, well kind of, helped was YouTube. Like I just need this to look like low-key perfect. I’be been playing around with a lot

 Hey Blogger, I'm back! This commercial is coming together, but it's been a little stressful. I didn't like how it came together when I did a little preview of it. So now I changed it up a little bit. I picked another song and changed some pictures around. So far it looks a bit better. I'm feeling better about it now. The pictures I've picked are literally so good, like so proud of myself. While using CapCut it's literally been so easy. Like other editing apps would've had me struggling, bad. Knowing how to use this for like actual projects is actually such a useful thing to know how to use. I want more kid pictures of me though. Doing this project made me realize that I really don't have that many pics from my childhood. Maybe I do but I just can't find it. Doing this project made me think of this camera we, me and my family, used to have. I tried looking for it because it had a lot of pictures and videos from my younger days, but I forgot I lost th

       Hey bloggers, it's mee Laudjah. Lets talk about how I've been doing with the production of my commercial. It's been fun to do it low-key. I've never done anything like this so it's exciting. While in the process of making this I've been removing some of the original things I picked to something a little pit better. Doing this made me realize that I should like document more of the things in my life. Because I barely have videos of me doing like fun stuff. But anyways, using CapCut has honestly haven't been hard whatsoever. I'm glad my teacher recommended this editing software to use. I've been adding like a bunch of pictures then going back and picking some out of the bunch. I find doing it like this actually works good, since the music is playing in the background so its easy to see what fits the "vibe". But picking like the oder of things has lowkey annoyed me. I want things to flow smoothly. I don't want it to just look like a

          Hey bloggers, its Laudjah. It's time to crunch down on how I'm going to do the production of my commerical. Let's get into to how I' m actually going to film it. I'm going to be using my iPhone 11 to film anything that needs to be filmed. I don't have a professional camera to use, but the iPhone is literally just as good as an average camera. For the actual editing, I'm going to be using an app called "CapCut". I've used this app before and used it before. It did go viral on TikTok for it being a easy tool to edit and it really is easy to use, like A+ to those who made it. I've never had to edit or film anything for like a class so I want it to look good. I already had to app downloaded from using it previously. Knowing I had to use it I looked up on TikTok how you could use it for editing videos and not just making "edits" as you could see on that app. I started just playing in the app to get a feel of how to work it. I

 Trying to figure out how I wanted it and how I wanted the vibe to be was challenging a little bit. So first I wanted to choose the song that kind of matched the vibe of the pictures I wanted to chose. I went with a song in the R&B pop genre. I really love that type of music and it's always a vide. In the process of choosing my pictures I went to ask my dad for some pictures. He gave me his iPad and told me to just me to look for myself. When looking I saw a lot of younger pictures of myself, so it was kind of hard of hard to chose from. Then I went to ask one of my sisters if they had any pictures of me that I could use she showed me some. Some of them were really embarrassing so I just went with a baby picture of myself. So now I just had young pictures of myself and wanted to get some more recent ones. I went into my camera roll of 15,000 pictures which is kinda over whelming. I tried my best to find some pictures that I want to use for my commercial. I found a couple of sel

 Hello blogger, its me Laudjah. You guys don't know me, so lets get to know me. My favorite place to go in the whole world is the beach. Being there in the morning, during the day, or at night is amazing. The water is wonderful, laying on the sand is delightful, and just the serenity of it all, chefs kiss. Although I love the beach, I hate how crowded it is most of the time, like so annoying. My number two favorite place would have to be going to the mall, especially with friends. Whether you're there to shop, walk around, or eat it's always really fun. Now that I've mentioned eating, i love to eat. Even though I eat like a seven year old and is a very picky eater, that is literally one of my favorite hobbies. I love to eat buffalo wings, chicken tenders, steak, grilled chicken, and fries, omg i love fries. My favorite places to eat are Chick-fil-a, Chipotle, Taco bell, Pollo Tropical, and Ricco's pizza. I love food so much I could talk about it forever, but lets mo
