  Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog! Making a short film in high school is already a challenge, but when you’re on a tight deadline and people start dropping out, things get even harder. Our original script had more characters, but two of our actors couldn’t make it to the shoot, and we didn’t have time to find replacements. At first, it felt like everything was falling apart because those characters played important roles. Instead of panicking, we had to think fast and adjust the script to work with a smaller cast. We figured out which parts of their roles were necessary and found ways to merge them into the remaining characters. This actually helped us make the story more focused and cut out anything unnecessary. With fewer characters to manage, filming became a lot easier, and scheduling wasn’t as stressful. We also realized that having a smaller cast allowed for better performances since we could spend more time on each scene. The changes made the film stronger, even thou...

 The technology I used was mainly TikTok and Cap Cut. I used cap cut to make the video because it's easy to use. I felt that even though it's a free app that is commonly used, the video still came out very nice. I especially liked the transitions and text that the app offered. I made my video on my phone and added pictures and videos from my camera roll. I used TikTok to extract audio to use for my commercial. I had to record videos of the sound and then post them on TikTok to extract the sound for my commercial.  I learned a lot from the process of putting this project together.

I also never thought of this project in general to make a commercial about myself. I did find myself learning a lot about myself while making this commercial. There is a lot about me so I had to be specific on what information I wanted to in...

 My first goal in my production is to pick which photos I will be using. I am going to use 1 image for each section. My sections are Barnes and Noble, music, and movies. I believe these pics are some of the most unique parts of my life or niche hobbies that I have. My first photo is about Barnes and Noble, which is me with my ipad, friends, and drink. This photo means a lot to me because my friends who I go to B&N with friends don't go to my high school. It's always fun to hang out with friends I rarely see. Me and my friends might talk to each other more than we do our work, but I would still consider our outing productive. My second photo is of my record player and my vinyl records on my desk. I really love music, and the album on top is my newest record, which is deluxe to Tyler, the creator's album "Call Me If You Get Lost." I also like having a record player because I love how it works, and it gives me something physical to collect. Even though it's t...
