 Hello world,

I'm finally back!!! I was finally able to continue making my commercial today. Before I began placing the videos into the commercial, I had to make some adjustments to them. They were minor changes but they made a huge difference. All I did was shorten some parts within the videos, along with using some other editing tools to lighten them up and give them some life. So far, the editing parts of this project have been my favorite parts of making this commercial. Something that I realized in one of the videos was that the audio was very quiet. So, I researched on Google whether I was able to amplify the audio of a video by editing it and it said that I could!! What was even better was that I could do it directly through CapCut without having to use any other apps or take any more extra steps. It was actually pretty easy to fix the volume. All I had to do was make the video its own project, go down to the editing tools, and there was a volume button. Once I clicked it, I was able to adjust the audio to my liking. After fixing both of my videos, I started to input them into my commercial. The spaces in between the photos that I made for the videos helped me a lot when adding them in. All I had to do was click on the empty space and choose the video that I wanted to enter. In other words, I plan executed well. All I had to do now was to insert both the songs and the transitions between each video and photo. Before I started finalizing the commercial with the music and final edits, I asked for some opinions from others. My parents said they liked it but my brother said it was boring. When I would ask him why, he would never give me a straight answer. All that he would say was that it was boring, which frustrated me a bit but I got over it. 

Until next time...

Sincerely,

Giovanna Pereira

Hello World, Let's get to adding the finishing touches to the film. First, I went straight to the easiest tweak to get it over with, the spooky scene. Like I mentioned before, my mom said that it was too fast, so I slowed it down a bit. Rather than having the speed at 1.2x, I brought it down to 1.1x. By adjusting it the slightest bit, it made it better to notice and see spooky yet not interfere with the length of the video. Next, I went through and found every scene that included dialogue. One of the feedback that I received was that the music was too loud whoever the characters were talking. So, I lowered the volume a bit for every scene that involved talking. This took a while because only a small amount of scenes had no audio or conversation, meaning I had to edit the volume on post of the scenes. This process wasn't too bad but it took a good chunk of time, but the worst was yet to come. Fixing the timing of the titles was definitely the most time consuming adjustment I had...

Hello World, It's time for feedback. I first went to my parents to show them my film and get their opinions of it. My mom liked it a lot, but some things that she said was that the subtitles were going by too fast. Due to the how quick the subtitles appeared and disappeared from the scene, she was barely able to read what was written. Another comment that she had was that the scene where spooky appears in Daniel's room was too fast as well. According to her, she didn't really notice that spooky was in the room due to how fast the scene was. My dad didn't have much to critic about the film other than that he didn't like the transition to the flashback. He said it was too dramatic and it didn't really fit the film. He also suggested that instead of the Giovanna and Spooky facing the same way, we should invert Giovanna's phone call scene to make it look like they are actually talking to one another. That was the only feedback that they had about the film. When ...
