As well as, Expensive jewelry, foreign exotic vehicles, models, dancing. This is all depends on the Mood/Theme of the song, this will determine the visuals of the song.

 Group For the media studies Commercial project, I am working with Fahim. I chose this partner because Fahim is a very hard worker. Therefore, I think we would make a very good team. I just recently met Fahim, but once I got to know him. I noticed we have a lot in common. Which is why he was my first pick, at first, I assumed I would work alone just because I like to organize projects by myself. I am controlling and specific when it comes to my work, I like professional and quality work. The reason I am so specific is because your work shows your character and represents yourself. so, when I was talking to Fahim and noticed that he likes his work a similar way, I realized we would make an all-star team. Fahim enjoys playing video games in his free time, so this by default automatically makes us compatible. He also enjoys computer science which is another bonus. I think working in a group helps build teamwork skills. This also makes big projects much easier to handle. We though...

 Hello, my name is Connor Murray. I am in the 10th grade, and I go to Fort Lauderdale high school. I was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and have lived here ever since. When I was a young kid, I loved and was obsessed with being a farmer. As my family, lived in the countryside, I grew up around Farms and Animals. I wanted to help the people in need and couldn’t stand people being hungry and not having anything to eat, inspired by family. Now that I have grown up a bit, I have done a full 360 still wanting to help people but in a different way. I now have interest in Computer science/cybersecurity. I have certifications in Cybersecurity and computer science and do freelance Pen testing for Private Firms and businesses. I have always been interested and curious about computers. I started by the casual tinkering and watched the occasional YouTube video.       I got to a very advanced level but longed to become professional and profit of my skills. So, about 4 year...

                                 Editing #2 For the second day of editing, I got right back into working on adding clips. For the third clip, I decided to use the insert of the drop down on to the bag camera shot was good transition. This introduced a new color of the bag. I then took this clip into light room and edited it to match the commercial. It also made the bag look more appealing to eye. I then added some casual wipe clip transitions. At this point, it seemed we were on track to finishing the project. So next I insert the 4th clip, into the video. For this part of the commercial, I was trying to go with something that would get Fahim in the video. However, at the same time... it needed to match the theme of the commercial. I decided that the clip where Fahim is walking with the bag. Next to the cafeteria would fit the commercial well. We then through it into the editor, we changed the colors an...

                                    Editing 1  The first day of editing the commercial, I was at my house. I decided to edit the light and color features of the first clip of the North-face bag. In this clip I focused on keeping it concise and straight to the point of the bag, so you can see exactly what we are advertising. I had to leave some of the clip out due to this reason. When I was editing the light of this clip, I decided to keep the whites very bright and shadows dark and consistent. This gives the bag a glossier and fancier look. I then changed the Hue of the clip to be more of a dark blue color. To give the artic feel for what the bag was trying to achieve. I decided that this clip was first because I felt it was a good introduction to the product. I then had an idea to add a camera flash sound affect at the beginning because I thought that the first clip was too subtle. This intro...
