Looking Back

 Hey Blog, it's me again. I promise this is the last time I speak about this first blog. If been a lot, lots of learning in the process but there have definitely been some difficulties. During this project, I learned how to use capcut. Some of the things I learned from CapCut are the basics of editing, adding music, exporting, and adding text and media. This may sound stupid but I also learned that if your email storage is too full you cannot send or receive emails. I learned this after weeks of none of my emails coming through and I was having difficulties transferring things from my phone to my laptop. The last piece of technology I would say I learned to use was YouTube and Blogger. This was weird a little to me since I use these apps but I didn't know how simple it is a upload a video onto YouTube. I wish I could say the same about the simplicity of embedding the video into YouTube.  As with anything good in life, it takes time. The better you want your video to become the

Technical Difficulties

Hey blog, bad news today. What started off as a good afternoon quickly changed to a terrible one. I was finally able to finish editing and selecting all the pictures and videos. I chose and added my music and I'm feeling good about myself. I'm telling myself how I actually finished and was able to edit and best of all my edit looks good. Or so I thought. I looked at the instructions and turns out I was missing a few things which was one big deal, So I added all that needed to be added but that wasn't the last of my worries. Then I  began having difficulties with exporting my video to my camera roll. Sadly I had to end up having to pay for the precription. That's when another problem arose, my card was declined. Then I had to look for another card to pay because unless I was planning to start over on a different editing software I wouldn't be able to submit. Plus time was not on my side. After finding a card with money to pay for the subscription I was finally able t

Finally Done

 Hey Blog, welcome again. You should be proud to know that I actually finished today. Turns out I was overcomplicating the whole thing. I already had an idea of what to do but was thinking about how to put it together. To help me I had to pull up the rubric of the assignment which is what I should have done from the start. I realized that I was trying to add way more than I needed in my commercial. After adding the basic information I wanted to share I began adding pictures that correlate. For example, I placed a baby picture of me and then introduced myself with my date of birth and age. Then I added a picture of my school and explained how that was the school I went to. I have provided my GPA and some sports I do in the school. Then I added what I wanted to do in the future which is a lawyer. I added a picture of me and my best friend because friendship is an important part of life. Then I added the goals I wanted to achieve this school year because sharing them helps keep me more ac

Progress?

 Hey Blog, I don't know why I do this to myself. choosing one of the most physically challenging days on my body to get more progress done, cross country meet days. Sadly it was raining today so the shots I got from today are all blurry. However, the shots I got from my last meet just weren't the most aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. After using Capcut today I was finally able to find out how to successfully add songs and other types of sounds in my commercial. I thought TikTok would have been a great source to use for creative ideas but all it's brought so far is confusion. I found another idea that I thought would be great. Turns out I can't add any type of media to it other than text so another fail for today. When am I going to start seeing progress? I'm getting really discouraged and wishing I could switch classes at this point. Also for everyone who told me this was an easy class thanks for lying to me now I'm stressing. Thank God I saved my last draf

Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together, I'm Struggling

Hey, blog, it's been a really long day juggling school, two sports, and trying to work on the weekends but I got work to do. The first thing was picking out a bunch of pictures and videos. I chose 5 pictures and 1 video. At this point, I think I have an idea of what I want my commercial to look like. However, I was just trying to put the media together and see what I was working with and hopefully improve it. Mistake number one: I added my pictures in the wrong order, so I had to reorganize them and re-add them all, so they are in chronological order. I tried that and spent 20 minutes trying to reorganize my pictures and pictures and accidentally clicked X. At this point, I was about over it because I had so many more assignments to complete and got off task. Who would've known that was just what I needed. So, in the past, I used cap cut to make a cute little edit of myself with my new hairstyle, and in that edit, I was now able to change the order after the fact. This gave me

Getting Ideas Together

Hey blog, I'm going to explain long the process of making this commercial about myself.  After  having Ms. Marchionne  explain countless times I thought I finally got the gist of things. I first began by asking my mom to send me pictures of myself from when I was a baby till now. Then I looked for pictures on my own and asked my friends for pictures. My thought process behind this was they were going to timeline of my life. However, then I got an even better idea from I previous  TikTok  trend I had seen.  " A 15-second video getting to know me before you become friends with me or something along the lines of that. If you on TikTok you have probably seen that trend going on. After that, I looked up videos on simple ways to edit because I never edited a video or even pictures till now. I also looked up other All About Me commercials to give me ideas about what else I could add to my personal commercial. After that, I began gathering more pictures and started to make a draft edi

Intro To Me

 Hi, my name is Felisha Gedilus and in this blog, I'm going to be introducing myself so you all can get to know a little more about me. I was born on May 10,2007 at Broward Hospital in Fort Lauderdale.  I'm currently a junior attending Fort Lauderdale Highschool and I'm 16 years old. This year I am taking four Aice Classes which are: Aice Thinking Skills, Aice Media, Aice U.S History, and Aice English Language. My favorite colors are blue and purple. My favorite as of right now are Philly cheesesteak subs, and Haitian mac and cheese. I've been 5'3 since 7th grade and I weigh around 113-119 pounds. After school, I like to take part in sports even though I'm not that good at them for example, cross country, basketball, and track. My favorite season is winter because Florida is always hot and it is that one time of year when it's not as hot. My favorite shoes I owe right now as my Unc's Toe Jordans 1's or my basketball shoes. I think I don't like wh
