Commercial Reflection

    As a person who aspires to work in media and production for the future, this project was so incredibly fun for me to do. When I first heard about this project, I thought it wouldn't be hard at all, and that I definitely knew everything I had to do. However, as I was creating my commercial, I realized there's much more than I thought, and that's just the basics!

    From all the new stuff I've seen just from this commercial alone, I am very excited for the other projects I'll do, and more material I'll learn in this class. The future of this course looks bright and fun!

    Personally, I feel as filming was the hardest part. It was so annoying trying to find good lighting, that I only really filmed a small part of my commercial. Either way, I improvised and game more of an older and nostalgic feel to my production with the filters and colors I added. I honestly like how it turned out, and I feel as if the nostalgic vibe gives a little insight to my life and about me.

    At first I found it weird that we were assigned to do a commercial about ourselves, but it honestly allowed me to dive further into philosophy and my beliefs, and I really enjoyed those aspects of the project. 

    I worried I wasn't going to be able to properly work around the editing software I used since it wasn't familiar to me, but honestly I got the hang of it pretty quickly and it was probably the quickest and easiest part of the commercial.

    In the background of my blog I decided to use the song "My Love Mine All Mine" by Mitski. While I did think it was the perfect beat and tempo for my project, it's not the only reason I chose it. The song is about how the artist feels that loving is the best thing she's ever done. I admire hold this belief close to me as my ability to love for others is a huge part of me and something that I feel really makes my life so great. Love is something that is so important to who I am as a person.

    Overall, I'm very happy I got the chance to do this project, and I'm so excited of what's to come next!

Title Research | Watch the Titles Website

              I've chosen this website for my title research due to its extensive choices of scenes. It's a treasure trove of movie title sequences, with so many different ones to choose from. The variety available is smaller than I expected but still with many good options, presenting an exciting challenge in choosing which of the sequences to write about. With 107 feature film title sequences on the side, each one promises a unique cinematic experience. Delving into sequences from different genres adds a layer to my research, allowing me to explore the artistry and creativity across a spectrum. This platform has become my go-to hub for watching and reviewing these sequences for my project, providing an experience for my title research.

FONT - The font I will be using will probably be a simple font such as " Helvetica " or " Montserrat ". I don't want to use something too techie-looking or fancy since this takes place in a somewhat casual and modern setting. COLOR - I might just do a simple white with some black outline to give contrast and have the titles easily seen. I may or may not end up doing something a little more exciting and less generic, but I'll play around with how it looks as I edit the opening sequence. TITLE - Since the story is meant to be about jealousy, I was thinking of calling it something like "Green" symbolizing an envious "Green-eyed monster" in folktales. If this ends up being the case, I'll probably add some more green into the titles and story to convey this subtly. I don't want to call it something edgy like "envy" or "vengeance."  That sounds pretty corny to me. Titles may enter and exit the screen to a series o...
