if {postCommercial == done} system.out.println(thoughts);


 Now that the commercial is done I would like to reflect on what I have done to get a better understanding of how I felt I did on the commercial.

So overall, I felt like my commercial could fit like an ad on Youtube. With it being so short it would get the point across rather quickly that it is a controller for PC that can be used for some games. This commercial could be in the interest of someone that likes to play games on a computer because some games don't work well keyboard and that's when a controller could be a better option. Just like the problem the person in the commercial experienced this can also apply to other people. In my own opinion, I feel like this commercial in a way follows suit with commercials that basically present a common problem and provides their own product as a solution to it.

The way the commercial engagement with the audience that would be in a way of telling a story. Startingnansitions off with a problem that was later solved by the product as the strategy to get the viewer interested. As I said previously, I feel like this would be an ad that would be advertised on something like YouTube or a streaming service that presents ads before the video. They would appear most commonly on a video that would have some relation to games as that would have the lowest chance of a person skipping the ad (if it was skippable).

Overall this project has helped me to learn how to do more with my video editing software. I had to cut, shift, and import many clips all to create that 30-second commercial. I had to also edit them so that only the music played and the actual shots stayed mute. I also learned of features that let me zoom and pan the shot specified shot to create some transitions.

Some interesting things I had to do in order to get the shots I did was to make my own tripod because I did not have a way to make the phone stay in a certain way that would let me orient myself and the camera in order to record what I needed. I also had to basically clear everything thing away in order to include what needed to be included but due to circumstances, I had to let some things slide. Overall with this aspect getting everything to coexist was quite nice and I had more than one phone so multitasking became easier. I had one phone to record videos and import them straight to my computer, one to be a light source and another to provide a strong internet connection for me to type this up.

This was a very fun project and it would be great to start another.... or is it already in the works......

In the future, getting a tripod feels like a good idea so I don't have to find more boxes and selfie sticks to tape together.

 So the editing was interesting. It mostly consisted of more cutting than I would want to deal with. Some, honestly all, of the clips, had to be trimmed down. This was the majority of what I have been doing. Even though I was mainly trimming shots, I was able to find some moments where I could have some fun. The shots to be honest took way more time to trim and edit because I wanted the shots to match with the music so it was imperative that I make sure to properly cut the shots. When I got the music that I was going to use I had to cut it to match the required length of the entire video. But, I couldn't do it at the start because I didn't know how much the film would take. So most of the editing consisted of getting the actual film to go by as smoothly as possible. While at the same time cutting out as much as possible to shorten the length to one minute. Overall the process was similar to the others but this time I had more chances to mess with transitions. Davinci Resolve ha

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the

Storyboard for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller commercial

Image
 YO MAN HOW CAN YOU POST THIS LA- Sorry for being off schedule! A certain person forgot to post the blog but luckily with the power of overtime the commercial will be on schedule! Scenes 1. In this scene we start with a shot that views the monitor, keyboard, and the hands of a player (me). The player then starts up a game but struggles because he is using a keyboard (applicable in some situations). The shot would be from a medium distance to give a good view of the keyboard the screen is not the main point but it would be a good idea to play an actual game that works better with a controller rather than a keyboard. 2. In this scene the person has lost the game and is then very sad the camera would then zoom in on the monitor with a slow panning motion to emphasize the cause of this very depressing event. And along with this if possible the shot to be split with another on the keyboard to show that there is a relation between the loss and keyboard. 3. In this scene the camera makes a cu
