 On the second day of editing we pretty much finished editing our project. We already had all the shots in along with the music. We pretty much just chilled on the second day of editing since we didn't have anything to work on. Since we didn't have any work to do i started working on my commercial blog. The project was really fun to do since it required computer skills and thats something i'm not really good at. Working on this helped improve my editing and filming skills. Editing the video was really, we did it on Imovies. I hope future projects are not as hard but my guess is that they will, but thats fine since i'm sure my skills and knowledge will improve. We decided to change a scene last minute. It was the scene where one of the actors is wearing the AirPods. The shot we used for that scene was me walking in the hallways wearing the AirPods rather than Melvin. It was a really last minute thing but it didn't have a big impact on our video. 

https://youtu.be/F8VX8KmPJ4M.  This was my first time working on a project like this. I had a great experience working with my friends. We had a great time and did the job. We created a wonderful commercial. I did notice some areas where we could have made improvements in the final result. This will only leave room for future initiatives to improve. I'm proud of my team and I, as well as the ad we all created. I believe we effectively used our expertise to convey what we know. I'm looking forward to working on my next project and seeing how far I've progressed. Hopefully we all get to work together again in future projects. 

 Today we started editing our ad. I was the person who recorded the actors and filmed all the shots. I was the one who suggested we did "Apple" products for the Ad. I brought the majority of the materials such as; The Ipad, The Apple pencil, The apple watch and the AirPods. I sent all the shots and bloopers i filmed to Nyla for her to edit today. For the background music we chose was "Holding out for a hero" by Jim Steinman. It was fun editing the Ad since we had to chose some scenes i filmed to put in the video. One of the actors broke character and laughed which made me re film the scene which led to us having multiple bloopers. I had time to work on the ad at school during my second periods. I texted Nyla and Melvin about some details to add in the video in the group chat i made. This was a fun project to do. It was a fun experience filming and editing with nyla and melvin. I hope we get to work together again on a next project. The App that was used for editing ...

On our second day of filming Nyla wasn't here. Melvin and i went to the field to film the watch scene along with the AirPod scene. Thankfully for us there wasn't anyone in the field. First we started with the apple watch shot. Melvin was doing jumping jacks then stopped to check the watch to measure his heart rate. Before the watch scene we filmed the AirPod scene. Melvin was filming me walk while putting on the AirPods but later on we re-filmed it to me filming him walk while putting on the AirPods. Prior to that we were deciding whether to do a running scene or a workout scene. For the watch shot but we ended up doing a workout. We had to do a workout scene since we couldn't get the camera to not be shaky during the filming. For the watch scene it was a bit complicated since it was bright outside and the it wouldn't focus and you could also see my shadow on ground. It was a tricky shot to film due to the brightness of the sun but we got through it. Tomorrow we are goi...

 On Thursday 30th during our second period. Nyla, Melvin and i started filming on our project, we went to the track to film the apple watch shot. Nyla was wearing the watch while Melvin and i were filming her run.  The field was busy so we couldn't complete the full shot so on Monday we are going to film again. Earlier on we filmed the MacBook shot where Nyla and Melvin were "talking" then we zoomed in on the laptop getting put away. Next, we filmed the Ipad/apple pencil shot where Nyla and melvin were filming me draw with the pencil on the Ipad. We also filmed the "door shot" where we showed nyla walking out of the classroom to later on transition to the "Airpod" scene. We filmed the 'clock scene' where we slowly zoomed in on the schools clock to transition to nyla and the MacBook. We are also going to have 2 actors text each other. They are going to text one of the actors asking where they are. The actors who is "lost" is going to ...
