 Hello World,

After a couple of days of working on this project, I am happy to say that it's finished!! The only thing left was to ask for the opinions of some people so they could critique my commercial. After every person that I showed my project to, I asked for brutal honesty and if there was anything that I could do to improve it. When I was done "interviewing" everyone that planned on showing my project to, I would jot down their opinions and advices of how to make it better. The first two people that I showed it to was my mom and dad. My mom really enjoyed it and said that she liked the fact that I included gospel music in my project. My dad also liked it but wanted me to switch around the second and fourth photos. The next couple of people that I showed it to were some of my friends from church. I played it to them during life group and I barely got any editing feedback. They all said good things about it and once again, I got many complements about my song choices. One of my friends said I should add a photo of me a church either praying or worshiping, so when I got home I looked through all the photos that I had. Unfortunatly, I wasn't able to any photos as the ones she suggested, which sucked becasue I really liked the idea. The next day, I asked for the opinions of my friends, especially those who had perviousely taken Media Studies. One of the pictures that I had in my photo selection was a photo of me and a couple of my closest friends. One of my friends said I should replace that photo and use a photo fo just myself since it's an all about me commercial, which maked sense. Another one of my friends said that I should change the transitions becasue it didn't flow as smoothly as it should. I didn't really see how it didn't flow but after I began to test out some other transitions, I started to understand what she was saying. After showing some other people my commercial and getting some more feedback, I was suprised with the small amount of adjustment advise. Honestly, I was expecting a lot more feedback about things that I should change but everyone that I showed it to said good things about it. It made me really proud of myself and it felt good to know that according to people, I did a good job at creating my project. I decided to make the changes on the night that I finished asking for the opinions of everyone that I wanted to. It was fairly quick to make all the changes, it probably took about an hour nd a half to finish editing everything.

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 ...
