The Conclusion

After about a month of, filming, re-filming, and editing, the commercial is finally complete. I am very relieved. Actually, I am even joyous that this commercial project is finished. I loved the whole process of making a commercial, but the editing process was difficult and frustrating. My favorite part of the project was the initial planning, storyboarding, and the actual filming.  With the planning stage, I understood what I had to do and how to complete it.  The creative aspect of these parts of the project seemed to come easy to me, which made it enjoyable. My least favorite was the editing tasks. This was probably because it was new to me and a challenging learning experience.  I felt dependent on my partner and had to keep watching everything he was doing to learn. Observing all the editing skills my partner knew was helpful and taught me a lot. I love to learn and absorb new skills but I was clumsy with the computer and software so I have much room for improvement. Overall, I loved working on this project and I look forward to the next Media Studies assignments.
