My Commercial

This is the first major project I have done. After watching the final product I see how I have much improved. However, there is still a lot I could have worked on. Looking back at previous mini projects I have done and comparing them to this I see a difference. For this particular project I noticed that the final product is not as choppy as previous works. Which means that my editing skills have improved in some capacity.  Throughout this project I am pleased to note that I had fun. The filming and editing was without a doubt my favorite part. It was nice to see something I envisioned come to life through a screen.  Plus the filming aspect gave me a reason to get outside. Although the editing was at times tedious and exhausting it was fun to work on something in a creative capacity. And when I figured out how to fix or make something work it filled me with a sense of victory which was quite enjoyable.  The steps it took to get there though were a little less fun. I am not a person who likes to plan or structure things. This is because I could suddenly decide to change or do away with something at any given moment. For this particular reason, I had a hard time plotting out my scenes with the storyboard. I was constantly thinking about the different ways I could do a scene. Although I knew I was not as boxed in as I felt and that I could change something as long as I documented it, I still was apprehensive to put a plan down on paper. In the end I am glad I did it though because it gave me a base to go off of. A base which led me to this.
