Reflection Questions

What technology did you learn to use? Towards technology I was able to successfully learn how to use CapCut. I had heard of it before as my dad has a GoPro and when my brother uses it to make this video that's the editing software you can use with your GoPro. But, I can say when learning to use it I actually found it pretty fun, and in the future I can see myself using even more transitions and using more audios instead of one. While using it as well I learned to grab sound from different apps and edit them to match the videos. With the sound to I learned how to not get copyrighted as well. Due to how when I put my original song it was partially blocked on YouTube. But then I later learned how I can use music that CapCut allows and checks too see if it could get copyrighted. Also how to input pictures from my phone and other camera devices into the video as well. I learned how to embed as well by how I transferred it to Youtube to Blogger. Overall I learned so much from this experi

Hey guys it's Natalie. In today’s blog, we’re gonna be discussing the difficulties that I’ve had . With including my song and  adding pictures into my commercial. Now, as I said before using Cape Cut is something completely new to me as I am someone that is not necessarily the best with technology. But, while doing this process, it has been kind of difficult in order to make sure to do the timings correctly with the videos I want to include. also with the sound over the videos hasn’t little difficult to to how the editing process is a bit difficult because of the way keep cut makes you sort of make shorter snippets of the videos you want to include. Also of how using the pictures, the timing of how I want some of the videos and photos to be on beat with the music isn’t lining up. I also came to learn that  I  had way to much  pictures  to include in the time span  I  would like to spend. So  I  ended up deleting a couple to fit the ones  I  actually really wanted. But, other than t

Hey everyone. it's Natalie. In today's blog I will be discussing the process I have undergone through when gathering the videos and photos. As well as adding on the song using the editing tool CapCut. While figuring out how to use this editing tool, this is my first time doing something like this. I am not one to say that I am the best person when it comes to technology but, I am getting a little better. Especially with having to use this tool in order to process all the media I have. As of last time I was looking for childhood videos and photos and within looking for them all I have finally found a significant amount that is perfect to use for my commercial. And towards my music choice I have changed the song. Though I am still not 100 percent sure I feel like the one I picked now is better. Before my idea was to choose was Island on the sun.But, I felt as if it was to mixed with the sort of vibes it provided throughout the song. So instead now I am going with  Once Upon a Dre

 Hey guys, it's Natalie. In today's blog we're going to be going over the process I am currently going through which is choosing the videos and pictures I have found. After going through my parents old disposable camera, Canons and old pictures/videos they have already saved from their phone. There was been some pretty good candidates for the commercial and for sure some embarrassing ones I hope to never see again. But, towards videos the ones I am leaning towards using contains things that I can say I thoroughly still enjoy. Like the videos of me cooking with my mom, drawing and painting and going to some football and baseball games with my dad. Very meaningful memories to me that have helped shaped me into the person I am today. Also, with that being said I had the idea of trying to find videos of me now doing similar things to try and give the viewer a really heartfelt feeling watching as I basically grow up before their eyes. When it comes to finding the right pictures

 Hey guys, it's Natalie. Now diving into the process of creating this commercial about myself have currently ran into some troubles. In which the troubles contained finding a good responsible mature and appropriate song for my commercial. While researching I had fell in love with a drake song to use for my commercial. But, later analyzed that it had some inappropriate parts that could not be put into my blog. Also the pace of the song I hope to find is to be a little slower. But, overall the idea of have a relaxing and meaningful song still stands. In my commercial I would like to add some videos from my childhood with my family. I was thinking of what kind of song I played the most while I was either with my family. Or just played a lot when I was a kid. In that instant I had remembered a song out of the blue called "Island in the Sun" by Weezer. My mom was and still is a huge alternative fan so I used to listen to that alternative/ glam rockers when I was a kid. Using a

 Hey everyone, it's Natalie. In today's blog, I kind of want to explain and try to put together the idea's I have for my commercial project. In this project I want to really showcase the important parts of my life that I will cherish for however long I can. For the photos I don't necessarily have many from my childhood myself, so I plan to go through the old Canon camera my father has kept full with them. My parents will also have some too but I will be sure to ask. In the photos I want to gather I want them to capture doing something I love to help showcase me, basically. Like me in the coast of California, Painting, Drawing, Shopping, etc. And if I am lucky enough to find them in my childhood photos think it's such a sweet thing I can show I did as I child and still do now. Same thing towards picking was videos I should choose of myself. I want them to have meaning like one video maybe of me swimming in the ocean recently and now. Or maybe videos of me with friend

 Hi, my name is Natalie Obando. I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High and I'm currently in the 11th grade. As of right now I can say in my life I am at the point where I have come to love and enjoy everything my life has to offer. I am a firm believer in that  everything happens for a reason. And though there has most DEFINITELY been moments where I feel as if some things did not need to happen. They still did and they helped shape me into the person I am today. But, besides that I can say I'm a really big advocate for nature and marine life as those are things I truly find fascinating. So I am very careful and interested about our world. There are so many little things that are just so interesting. I'm shocked to know how everything works. Talking about marine life leads to me and my love for the Ocean. Originally being from Miami and growing up in California I developed a strong love for the ocean. Being in California for the some of my childhood I developed a love for s
