What I Learned From Commercial

     Hey world, it's Aniyah! In my previous blog I mentioned there is a current outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and it is required we stay home until further notice. This has made it difficult to complete the project for many students, but we are resilient. Although this school year has been cut short, I have learned a lot along the way. In my blog I am going to explain how much I learned from the first task: the Commercial. The commercial project introduced me to basic things about filming. It gave me more insight into the different aspects of a digital camera and a tripod. It taught the digital camera can do more than just record. It can zoom in, zoom out, and give you clearer angles when filming. Before this project I was unsure what the purpose was of tripod.

     After the project I learned the tripod can be used for many things. It can use to make your shots and you can use for different camera shots or movements. You can use it for pan shots, tracking shots, wide shots and more. I learned how to dump your footage from the SD card into the computer to start editing. I learned the basic things you need to know about editing. I learned common shots, movements and editing techniques such as close up shots, pan/wide shots, and tracking shots. I learned in the filming business you should get used to working with others because you can't do everything by yourself. Overall, I learned the basics of a camera, a tripod, and filming in general. This project introduced me to what goes on behind the scenes.Thanks for reading and blog you later!
