Reflection Blog: What I truly learned

Hi 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 decided 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 one 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. Overall, I’m satisfied with my greater grasp on Capcut. 

When it came down to the process of creating a project, I learned it is very confusing. Going into this project, I was very overwhelmed. After about a week though, that anxiety disappeared. I look forward to making my blogs and sharing my life with you. Then when I began to work on my project, that stress sort of came back. I feel as if with any project, your feelings fluctuate. I didn’t necessarily believe that working on a project would make me feel different things, but it did! 

Next time, I could add more detail. In this recent commercial, the only text I added was lyrics. In my next project, I may try to give more context with text. I believe that may give the viewer a stronger understanding of my project! I could also try different transitions from frame to frame. This could add more visual detail, and keep the viewer intrigued. I truly hope my next project leaves a stronger impact on the viewer. 

Anyways blog, I hope you enjoyed my little reflection. I'll see you next time!

Title Research: The Last of Us

  Hey Blog!        As I continue my title research, the first sequence I will look at is a dramatic movie called, “The Last of Us ”. Th e show was released in 2023 and created by Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin . After I finished the sequence, I asked and answered three questions.   What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?   The names of main actors/ actresses   Casting director   Production designer   Visual effects supervisor   Editor   Director of photography   Musicians   Costume Designer   Producer   Co-executive producer   Executive producers   Writer What images are prioriti z e d throughout the scene?        Different earth-toned roots are followed throughout the title sequence.  The roots are just organically growing and moving. How does the film establish the feeling of the genre?      The darker colors are very dramatic and beg...
