Reflection

Hi Cambridge!

Its me again. Isahiah Melendez.
I've now completely finished my project, and I couldn't properly express how relieved I am if I tried. 
Since the school year started, I already knew we'd have that project or something similar. This is because of the friends I had last year that would speak about this class during their days in it. Since then, I've always wondered about how I'd do. Seeing as to how I'd never made a commercial, never thought of making a commercial, and never edited a video before. I honestly didn't think I'd know where to start and certainly not where to finish. However, when it came down to it, I honestly think I did a pretty good job for my first time. I had much help obviously, I got screen recorded tutorials on how to do certain things. Although very simple things, everything's complicated at first. I had to start somewhere and I certainly started from 0, but I think I definitely finished at at least 90. I know I could've done a lot better, but I had other things on my plate. Anyways, I look forward to the next projects to come. I already know they're going to be ton of work based off of what I've already seen. There's lots for me to learn as well because I've  been exposed to the essay writing section of the class. I've definitely noticed the need to know the vocabulary terms. I don't think I'll struggle too much because the class isn't all too boring, so I think I'll find some fun in completing the work. There's also some friends in my class, so it's almost like we're all fighting through it together. The commercial was also a nice flashback on some past event for me.
All in all, I'm happy with the result and the work that I put out. 
Enjoy your lives to the fullest!

Hey there! It's me again... Isahiah! Today is the first day that I'm going to talk about the production of my commercial. Now, first of all, I'm not going to lie. I'm still not exactly sure how what or how I'm going to do for my project. However, I have started brainstorming what song I'd like to use to represent me. As covered in my previous blog, I'm a big fan of storytelling artists such as J Cole and I really enjoy artists' music that contain creative instrumentals such as Travis Scott. While it's very easy for me to go ahead and pick my favorite song or song that I like, I can't just choose any song for this occasion. The song has to enable me to edit my content because without the proper cadence a video can prove very difficult to edit, and I'd like for things to have as little difficulty as possible. There are many artists that often produce songs that are very easy to edit over, and I do happen to like some of their music. Artists suc...
