AICE Media Studies

H i blog !   I have decided I no longer want to call you guys “bloggers ”, so I will now refer to you as “blog ”. I started this blog almost 3 weeks ago, and I got to present to you a project . It was tricky; however, I finally finished my commercial. Although I am upset that the project has come to an end, many more will come. Because I did complete my commercial, I have deci ded to reflect on what I have learned.   Learning how to use an editing software was definitely the trickiest part. As you already know, I used the app Capcut on my cell phone. On Capcut there are thousands of different templates to choose from. I tried o ne of them out but decided it would be best to create it from scratch. When you press “New project” you open an empty slate for you to create on! I learned about the features at the bottom, such as “edit” and “text ”. There is a letter “T” that I learned allows you to add text. This was how I was capable of adding lyrics to my commercial. ...

Hey Bloggers! I finally finished my commercial, I hope you enjoy!  

  Hey bloggers!   Today is the day I am finishing up my commercial. I’m starting to think of different ideas. I tried us ing my planned photos and videos, but I wasn’t really feeling it. I decided to keep the same song but follow my heart!   I was first introduced to the song , “Lovely Day” by my father. We were driving around during a flood. Last year, t here was a really nasty flash flood. Me and my dad got stuck in traffic o n the way home from dance. Our first stop was burger king to get some French fries! Usually, our drive home from that burger king is 10 minutes. It took us 45 minutes to get home.   Once we got home, we were ready to watch football . Sadly, our internet was out. Someone had driven into a phone line! We had to come up with a nother plan.   We decided we were going to drive around a see the damage, carefully of course. We were going to get Baskin Robbins. I got a cookie dough cone, and that’s when he started to play the son...

  Hey bloggers   Today I'm going to learn how to use C apcut . I have never used this software before, but today's the day. I want t o be able to edit my commercial, so having a solid understanding of C apcut will be very beneficial . C apcut has tons of different templates, so I'm going to practice with those.   When you use the templates, you just select photos, video s, and live photos to throw in. I didn’t realize how cool live photos are. I just realized I have a million short moments that I can include in my upcoming projects. Realizing I can use live photos really motivates me to get as much of this project done .   Once I started, I got a little stuck. I didn’t know how to move the clips o r how to cut things, but then I watched a YouTube tutorial. The tutorial taught me a lot of things I was confused about , so now I have a much higher understanding of C apcut .   It is quite difficult for me to focus on this project, as it is Sun...

  Hey bloggers !             In today's blog, I will talk about my typical mall experience. This will be the topic because I am going to use some media from the mall in my commercial . Anyways, here i s how it usually goes.             Typically on a Saturday, I’m sitting in my room bored. “r u busy ”, I would text my friend. “no ”, she would reply. From there, we would decide on going to the mall ! We would invite some of our friends and meet up around three.             Once we arrive, we instantly go to Starbucks inside Macys. By now, I would call that tradition. As of lately, I get a medium frozen dragon fruit lemonade. That drink is the best summer drink! Then we exit Macys and go to one of the five decent stores in our mall. We look around, maybe find a good shirt, then go to the food court.                  ...

  Hey bloggers!   Welcome to today's blog. In this blog, I will tell you guys about my dance experience in high school! I have been dancing for 9 years at a studio, but now I dance for my school team as well. Last year, I auditioned for the “Blue Royals ”, and it was a scary experience. Although I was confident in my abilities , it had bee n within my first 2 weeks of school and I didn’t really know anyone . When we walked into the room, we got numbers and had to fill out a sheet. As I sat down to fill out my form, I s aw a girl I had met in my world history class. She didn’t know anyone either, so she sat next to me. We talked about how nervous we were, and then suddenly it was time to warm-up. Auditions flew by , and by the time I knew it we got our emails telling us who made it. I was petrified, but happy with my outcome. I had made the competition team, the highest le vel!   Throughout the year we did events and fundraisers, and it was loads of fun. I enjoyed...
