 Today I went over the footage that I have. Since all of the shots had more than one take I wanted to thoroughly analyze each one on their own. First I looked at each take separately. Then I looked at each take when compared to the others. After choosing the ones I personally felt were the best I went to my family to ask their opinion. After hearing what they had to say, I then went to a few of my peers to ask their thoughts. My plan was to obtain feedback in order to make a good decision on which takes I should upload into the editor. Since uploading the footage to the computer can be quite the process I wanted to be sure I would not have to go back and replace any clips with another. I figure if that were to happen it would make editing more tedious. After doing this I then proceeded to search alternative music options, as my attempts to get into contact with the artist of the music I originally wanted to use did not go as planned. Through searching I found this online site called audiojungle. Upon using the search bar I found a few lyric-free instrumentals I feel would go well with my project. However, before choosing them I want to be 100% sure that it is allowed. The website I found showed up as a search result for free to use and download music. However, it did show the creators and gave an option to message them. Just to be on the safe side I initiated contact. I am still waiting for a response. Just to have a plan C I will be sure to search for more music. It is essential that I find it so I can begin editing it along with the clips together, rather than one after the other. For now I will leave you with a picture of the site I mentioned.

 I have been working on the last tidbit of editing. An obstacle occurred when my editing software crashed. It refused to reopen so I had to seek other means of regaining the work I had already done. I had to completely switch over to a different computer and relocate my footage in order to begin editing again. Since the names of the files were different on each computer I had to refer back to the files on the first one in order to decide which one needed to be added into the locate asset slot on my reopened editing software. Some files were created while in the software. Due to this, when saved they were not compatible for opening on the other computer. Ultimately I had to recreate them. However, that took little time so I quickly was back at the point I had planned to continue from. All of them were strictly audio anyway. However, the software I am using got rid of a portion of the music I was using. Due to this I had to add it twice to make up for the lack of length that it once ...

  Props My main prop will be an unopened bottle of water. Other props that may be used are water. Costume I am debating on whether or not I would like to use an actor for at least one shot. If I do choose to use an actor then their costume will be simple. Shorts, t-shirt, running shoes,  or some other type of sports attire. However, if I do not then there would be no actor in my commercial and therefore no costume anyone needs to wear. Schedule On 10/22/20: I researched conventions and codes of bottled water commercials. On 10/23/20: I established props, costume, schedule, location list, and backup plan. On 10/25/2020: I will begin creating the storyboard for the commercial and it will be done by or before 10/27/20. On 10/27/2020: I will have started filming and recording the necessary shots for my commercial and that will be done before the night of 10/29/20.  On 10/29/20: I will begin the editing process. Adding or removing what needs to be removed. Giving the commercia...
