REFLECTION

I have been thinking about the things I learned in putting together my commercial.  Here are a few things that come to mind.

1. Before I started this project, I did not know how to use software to make films.  I learned to use iMovie and how it works. I also learned to use the sound effects in iMovie as well as how to create title boards. 

2.  I learned how to import videos in CapCut. I learned to set up and use a tripod camera stand to record my photos and videos. I am really grateful I could find a cheap tripod online.  

3.  I also learned to recognize my mistakes; this was a hard one!  I wanted to make a movie I could be proud of, so I  made sure I review stuff before I submit.

4. I had to learn to be patient with myself and watch a lot of videos about the software. I also learned not to give up and keep on trying even when I could not get everything to work. I learned that it is part of a whole and not just one thing. I learned to assemble and edit my video with pictures and videos.

WHAT COULD I DO BETTER?

1.   I can improve my editing to be more fluid and seamless. I think I could also improve on my script and be willing to rewrite, rewrite, rewrite!   I have to admit that this is my least favorite part!  I always want to start filming and putting music to the scenes!  Writing is not my strong talent.  I also need to improve my timing of when I come in to speak because sometimes it will be off by a second.
