Production Blog

 Well, I guess this is goodbye... just kidding! However, it does seem we have reached the end of the production journey of my commercial.

Now this time, we do not have any dilemmas. Instead, I'll go over the overall experience of this journey. 

I started off with the idea thinking. It is very easy to think of the things you are going to do. But the real challenge is seeing if you can actually do those ideas. And for me, this part definitely hit me hard. Some ideas were even unrealistic like having really cool and energetic transitions that were out of my knowledge to create. And although I was using editing software, there are limitations to the transitions and editing you can do. To unlock a larger variety of transition filters and effects, you do need to purchase a subscription. And sadly I do not have sufficient funds to purchase them. 

Moving onto the next step, the creation. Creating the actual media piece was pretty fun. I chose a variety of pictures that went along with my topics and I just let my creativity flow. I loved going through memories as well which was a plus for me. Although the balance did throw me off and was a roadblock for me to go over, I did manage to balance the media I used for my video.  

I also found myself grappling with the message I wanted to convey. It's not easy distilling your personality and interests into a short commercial. There were moments when I realized that some of my ideas didn't align with who I truly am. But, in the end, I managed to find that perfect balance that represents me authentically. 

 Considering the color palette and overall aesthetics was a creative journey in itself. Colors can speak volumes and evoke emotions, so I took my time ensuring that they complemented my message and created a cohesive look throughout the commercial. Of course, collaboration was a key component of this project. Working closely with my team allowed us to brainstorm ideas, share feedback, and make sure every aspect aligned with the message we were trying to convey. It was a collective effort that helped us overcome challenges and grow as a team. In the end, I learned that challenges are just opportunities in disguise. Those roadblocks pushed me to think outside the box and find innovative solutions. It's all part of the learning experience on this production journey. 

As this is our final production blog for my commercial, I am glad to everyone following me on my journey, and once again, thank you for reading.
