AICE Media Studies

 Hey viewers! Welcome back, today I’m going to reflect on my previous blog, my commercial to give you guys some more behind the scenes of the process.    I complied a total of five pieces of media that I was prompted to put together as you guys saw. I had to learn to use the editing app CapCut. I was unfamiliar with it at first, but quickly learned how to. It makes me excited for the next project now that I’m comfortable. I used transitions and other features to make it as fluid as possible. It helped me align the music I chose with the media I picked out as well. It’s a very user friendly platform to put these type of videos together.  Some things I’ve learned while making this was the importance of a soundtrack. It really sets the tone and the mood for the pieces of media chosen. As well as the photos I chose, considering the commercial was All About Me, I wanted to reflect myself and my life through the select photos I chose. I think it’s important to keep memorie...

  Here is my commercial! I hope you all enjoy what I've put together! 

     Hi viewers! I’m proud to announce that the completion of my commercial is finally here! I’ve put all of it together on CapCut and am set on every photo and video i’ve chosen. I do wish the song aligned differently with my photos but it was tricky because my favorite part of the song is at the very end, so it was difficult to incorporate that but I think it came out pretty good. I’m so excited for you guys to see it! I’ve been working on it for a while and hope you appreciate it as much as I do, and are able to see a little sliver of my life through this commercial as well. See you guys soon! 

 Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog! I’m still currently working on my commercial. I’m tweaking the last few photos to use along with the videos because I think it’s really important to make sure it includes exactly what I want to represent me as a whole. After editing and putting it all together, it should be complete and ready to go for all of you guys to see! To make sure I included the absolute best photos, I even asked some friends and family members to look back and find some good ones, so I incorporated those as well. I know I said I’d include mostly my friends and family, but I found myself wanting to include other parts of my life that made me happy because saying my friends are what make me happiest isn’t unique. I’m sure that can be said by countless people so to really stand out, I wanted to include more niche parts of my life that aren’t so apparent. I hope you guys enjoy! And see you soon!

 Hey guys! Welcome back, I’m currently still working on my commercial! I’ve been contemplating on what videos specifically to use, because I feel that they should be a reflection of me and what I think is important to me. I have a video of me blowing out my candles during my birthday dinner being surrounded by friends and family, which I wanted to incorporate mainly for the inclusion of my friends and family. I also have a video of a stray dog that came up to me in Cinque-terre, Italy that I thought was adorable. The song I chose was off an unreleased album from one of my favorite artists and I’ve listened to that song for years so it’s very nostalgic for me. I’m really looking forward to sharing it with you all! See you next time!

Hey viewers!! I hope you all missed me, today I’m going to walk you through my editing techniques for my commercial. Since i’ve already chosen my photos and videos for my commercial, all that’s left is putting the pieces together like a puzzle! Hopefully it comes together smoothly with the assistance of the editing app CapCut, which will allow me to seamlessly connect my pieces of media, to create my commercial! I want there to be unique features in my commercial, to really be tailored to my interests, and to my personality so in between every photo or video, I’ll include a transition so it isn’t just a cross cut. next, I’ll make sure to include my songs and be sure that they align with the photos and videos. I’d like to use because they’re a certain lyrics that are meaningful to me that I would like to incorporate specifically to my commercial. and finally once it’s all piece together and looking good, I’ll make sure that it’s not too rough around the edges and that it’s all smooth an...

     Hi, I’m Braeden, but a lot of people call me Brae. I really love music and movies. I take in music and movies the same way that Remy takes in cheese and strawberries in Ratatouille. I have an older half sister and a younger brother. My brother and I are bestfriends and are very similar people, even though he’s only 13. I spend a lot of time with my boyfriend and his family, I treat his little sister like my own sense I don’t get to see mine anymore. I speak French, not completely fluently but comfortably. I love almond croissants and anything almond or coconut. I love tulips and the colors red and pink. I’m a junior in high school and I don’t have a job at the moment, but I do babysit from time to time. I did work over the summer 40 hours a week but due to school I can’t fit it in anymore. I am a big procrastinator but junior year has scared me into being more motivated. I really like interactive classes that are project based rather than textbook. I’m only social wi...
