AICE Media Studies

    Good morning and good evening! During this project I learned a lot about the program I used, CapCut. To use this program effectively I watched a lot of videos on YouTube. I learned about to properly import sound and add good photos onto CapCut, I also learned how to make good transition to the next photo and add text. The only thing I couldn’t figure out is how to lower the sound in one section and heighten it in another. However, I made do and just cut it up and lowered each section, I feel I did well on it. I did a practice run on another project before fully making my video and it helped me learn a lot about the app, I never used it before and I feel it also improved my abilities of editing to other apps I used. This project was really helpful in learning my technology and using it effectively in other aspects of my life, I’ll probably use this to make something for my family. I also learned a lot about putting a project together. I learned what best to do and what...

 Good morning and good evening! We are finally done with this (well almost, I still have that reflection)! We are finally here, enjoy my commercial, happy Birthday to whoever's Birthday it is and enjoy your days. 

     Good morning and good evening! We are here, we are putting things together and making the video. Afterwards the teacher will show us how to put it on the blog next class. To start off, I recorded my screen to make a quick video of me turning on the music and going to my photos, i felt it was a cleaner transition with the music to photos.  The next thing I did was grab a sample of the music, of course Duvet by Boa. Then I put everything together. I started by just putting everything I wanted in there, the videos, the photos, I did change quite what I wanted to do, for a better video. Now it's just a simple like, slide show, but I find myself liking it and I don't want to change it. Afterward I put everything in, I moved stuff around, I put the video of me in my mom's Harvard sweater after a picture of me, my mom and my sister. Right after the video i put the prawn one, it's simple and kinda funny, it lets you know my personality the second best. Then the one in t...

     Good morning and good evening! Of course, just like always, I'm working on my commercial. Today I'm working on the videos I will use, I don't have any videos on my phone (truthfully I have -2, because the two video's I do have on there are edits of my favorite characters) so I stole (took with permission) my mom's phone, laughed at myself for 10 minutes, and gathered 5 videos and an outro. The first video which I'll be cutting down as it's 37 seconds long, is a video of me and my sister laughing about a song, though not the song I'll be using. It's just heartwarming and shows me and my sisters personalities really well. The next video I'll be using is a video of me twirling in my quince dress. It's nice, and shows my dress a lot better, because I love it a lot and my quince was really special to me. Another video is one of me putting a prawn to the camera. My mom took and video and it's just a video of me having fun, going something ...

    Good morning and good evening! Today, and in the past few days I have been gathering photos for my commercial.  To clarify, I am using the song take your by Matthew Mole. I said I was going to use Duvet by Boa but the photos I was looking at and the nostalgic tone (to me) of the second make it a more meaningful song to me. I don't have any photos of me on my phone (I know weird, but I don't like taking photos) so I had a steal (taken with permission) my parents phone and score through there. The first photo I'll be using is a single photo of myself, it's when I use in New York visiting family. All of us are big Harry Potter fans (even if the author is sub par [AT BEST]) so we just HAD to go to the phone booth with the poster photos, it was fun and shows some of my interests. Another photo I'll be using is a photo of me and my step-dad at an American football game. It was at Harvard Stadium for my mother, who's going back to collage to get another degree...

        Good morning and good evening! This blog today is about my commercial. To start off, I actually need to figure out my editing software, which, for now at least, is going to be CapCut. I won't be able to make something even slightly good without understanding at least a little of the app/editing software. To start off, I just put some random photos in there to see if it's like other softwares I used. So far, it's easy to cut/shorten pictures. Straight off the bat you can edit individual sections of photos, you can add audios to the video, you can add text, overlay the photos, add effects to the photos, use templates, change the ratio of the frame, add filters, adjust the photo looks, add "stickers" and change the color of the canvas. As you can see, its easy to do certain things to the whole video if you need, no overlaying a certain thing to achieve something like in other softwares like KineMaster. Slight intersection, I won't be using other softwares...

    Good Morning and good evening, today I will be writing about my research for my "about me" commercial. I'm going to be honest, this is a little hard for me, I don't have ANY phones or videos of myself. I barely have any photos/videos on my phone in general actually (rocking with my 37 videos of memes and 4 videos of edits). This does mean I will be going through my parents phones for videos of me, or things that relate to me. Such as phones of me and my friends, photos of me at my quince, and photos of me when I was younger. It would also include photos of things, such as my drawings and notably items that relate strongly to me. I didn't mention this on my intro blog but I am drawer, it's a big part of my life, so I want to include a picture or two about that. Which does mean I will have to figure out the music first so I can plan the photo's accordingly. I almost want to do electrical by Bali Baby, it's a upbeat song but it has too many romantic u...

     Good morning and good evening, my name is Alexandra Soto. Some of my favorite music artists Conan Gray and Ricky Montgomery. Though my favorite type of music happens to be scene and tend to listen to more goth. My favorite color is yellow, specifically, Naples yellow. Which is ironic because my favorite animal is a Blue Jay & sunbirds, and my favorite comic character is Red Robin. Which is also ironic because my quinceanera dress and party was green, as is everything I own. My lucky number is 3, like my birthday, December 3rd, which is also often called online sweater day because of the Conan Gray song "Heather." My parents divorced when I was 2 which caused me to be the youngest in my family on my mother side and a middle child on my fathers. I have two older sisters (one is a full sibling and the other is a half) and a half-brother, younger. My mother remarried in 2019 and I had a fever of 103 at the wedding, so I had ginger ale the whole time. When m...
