Reflection

 Hello blog. My technology experience has improved. I’ve learned how to import videos. I deleted the video and kept the audio in. This helped me for putting in a song. I also learned how to put text in. This made it convenient to explain the pictures and videos I imported. This has saved me the time of recording audios for each video, explaining what is on it.  I learned to save the project before closing the page. I’ve lost my work many times because of this. Now, I have made it a habit to make sure that I save before I exit the page. I’ve learned that the project process is faster if you know what you’re doing. It takes up time if you don’t know what you’re doing and have to watch videos to get assistance. I’ve learned that clips and the text need to or put in at the same duration of time. Otherwise, it will not look good. I want to improve many things for my next project. I want to add transitions. It’ll make the project look better. It will make it look more appealing and satisfyin

 Hello. The commercial is coming to an end. The progress I've made is good. I've learned a lot of things. I've used most of the pictures I took out. I've applied all the effects. I've also applied all the edits that are needed. This experience has been a learning experience. I have gotten stuck during this process. I had to learn how to fix my problem. This help will assist me through the future. It will help me with the editing software. Figuring it out on my own has been good. I don't need to keep asking somebody what to do. I already know how to do it. This has also saved me some time. Instead of asking peers if they know what to do, I already know. When I'm stuck, I go back to what I've learned. It has helped me in a big way. This commercial has many benefits in my learning experience.

 Hello. The processes for this commercial has got more difficult. The sport that I play is interfering with my time. Today, we had a game. It finished at 8:00 pm. I got home at 9:30 pm. I still have homework. That means that I'm going to be tired tomorrow. The commercial is coming together well. I fixed the audio problem. I also fixed the capitalization issue. My WIFI went out at home. So, I had to use my phone and cellular data. I showed my mom what I have. She said it looked good. I also showed my auntie. She said that I used a good photo of us. As the days go on, the struggle is lessening. I am learning. It is becoming easier. Hopefully I master making and editing videos. I would like to teach my friends. They would enjoy it.

 Hello. My progress has gotten better. I have spent more time working on this commercial. I have been working faster. I've realized that it is fun to work on this. I am also learning the different transitions and effects in the app. My phone doesn't auto capitalize my I's. I have to do it manually but it is wasting some time. I have to find a way to turn on the auto capitalization feature on my phone. I'll look up a video to get that done. My mom is very interested on this commercial. She is excited to see the outcome. She told me to confirm any pictures I have with her in it that I was using. She wanted me to put a picture of me in the tub with bubbles when I was a baby but I said no. I am now working faster due to my past experience with editing. When I was working on the commercial, my computer died without saving. So, I had to apply the edits that I lost again. This took up some time that could've been used for other things. Other than that, the process has been

 Hello. I've downloaded apps on my phone to help in the production of my commercial. I had to free up some space. My phone was full. I had to delete pictures and apps that I had. I downloaded Capcut, and a photo editing app to make the pictures clearer. I am figuring out how to put the pictures and videos into Capcut. I am also figuring out how to add music. Youtube has been helping me with tutorials. I have also been asking my friends for help. They have assisted me with things I did not understand. I used to edit videos for gaming a while ago. I might use those skills from the past on this commercial. I had to ask my grandma and my uncle for pictures. I also had to go look in an old book collage of my baby photos. I seen some funny photos I've never seen before. They have dates on them so I can see my process growing up. The trips I don't remember were in there. I saw some cousins I haven't seen in a while. It was fun seeing my mom young. Some pictures brought back so

 Hello my name is Joel Francis and I'm in the 10th grade. My process picking out my pictures and videos for my commercial was pretty vigorous. I want to find pictures and videos that I think will perfectly fit the topic. I had to search harder for them. The song that I chose is difficult to find. I had to switch it and find a different one. The song that I picked I enjoy and it fits me. The process choosing my pictures/videos took a while. I don't want to run out and have to go back and look for more. I had to go and ask my mom what she recommends. She told me to use some photos that she had of me when I was little. Some of them were embarrassing so I had to tell her which ones to send me. I told her which ones she could keep. I almost used an emoji photo but I remembered what my teacher told me. I don't want to get a bad score on the assignment. I found some pictures that would represent my past. I also found some and that shows me and who I am. For my song I'm looking

 Hello, my name is Joel Francis. I attend Fort Lauderdale High School. I am in the 10th grade and taking AICE Media Studies As. I enjoy sleeping and playing football. I also enjoy going on vacations. This summer I went on a cruise to several different islands. We went to the Bahamas, St Maarten, Antigua, and Aruba. In my free time I go to the park or stay home and relax. I want to be an NFL player in the future and a mechanical engineer. Some things I don't like is failing to do something I tried very hard to accomplish. Also, I don't like quitting. In the past, I used to play soccer and I played baseball for one year but didn't like it. My mom took me out of soccer for middle school I tried football my 8th grade year and I enjoyed it so I kept playing. My hands gets injured a lot, so the doctors say that if I want to keep playing football, I have to take extra precautions to protect them. This year I might branch out and try different sports like wrestling or join a club.
