I finally got all my clips of my clips together. Today I went to the park with my friends and was able to get some ideas. I told them to say descriptive words to describe me, so I can put as captions for my pictures. Since basically all of my clips are done and ready, I inserted them all. I didn't make any edits to the transformation of the scenes, no dissolving, no fading out, no nothing. I just made the scenes be a jump cut. But, as I was looking at all my insertions together I realized it looks bland. Later on, I might add a fade out effect on VideoStar. This is easy and I can do it in like one second. My commercial isn't completely finished,  I still need to do some tweaking, I plan on doing that over the weekend. However, most of it is done. I got almost everything done today. As I was listening to the song I chose on the commercial I realized that it doesn't really describe me. I still left the song in the commercial because of the meaning behind it. I spent some time listening to all the lyrics and trying to figure out the meaning behind them. As I was doing this, I was able to figure out there are certain lyrics in the song that describe or relate to me in a way. I shortened up the song a little because it is 2 minutes and 52 seconds long. My commercial is barely a minute. I sped the song up to where you can still understand the lyrics. Even though, I sped up the song I also had to cut it a little. I left the most important parts of the song in, the lyrics that I felt that I feel more connected to. I went over my research and planning blogs and I decided to insert pictures of me watching my favorite shows, hanging out with my friends, pictures of me being at the mall, etc. These are things that describe the things I like.
