 For my commercial project, I wanted to include things that made it very personal. That's why I chose a picture of me when I was younger winning my first soccer tournament. It's very special to me because I scored the winning goal in the last minute for my team. For my second picture, I decided to show a picture of what I look like now. I chose this picture mainly because I look very different in a lot of the pictures I've chosen to include in this commercial. My third picture was pretty much the same thing. I just wanted to show how I look right now. Now my fourth picture is different. I chose to include a picture of my soccer team before a game we won 4-1. I wanted to include this picture because I consider the team to be very dear to me. I've been playing for them since I was around 12 and I'm 17 now. I also wanted to include a picture of the other team I play for. I just started playing with them at the end of last season. In my sixth picture, I wanted to go back to the past to show me on my first-ever road trip to Disneyland. It's special to me because it's one of my first memories from when I was younger, around four years old. My final two pictures were on my first day of school and my kindergarten graduation. Both were very important days in my life. My first video was when I was on a school trip in France. I was in an old collesium that was used for public events. I chose to include this because France was the first country I've been to out of North America. For my next video, I included my favorite part when I was visiting Spain. Which was the dancing performance. I enjoyed the performance so much that I was very sleepy before it started and when it ended I was full of energy and excitement. For my last video, I wanted to show a video of the first live soccer game I went to. To make it better it was a home game with my favorite team Tottenham Hotspurs. The environment was so crazy, so loud, so exciting. Spurs ended up with a 4-1 win over Southampton. Every goal scored was an absolute scene. It was genuinely my favorite experience I've had in a long time. I think everyone should go to one live soccer/football game in their life to experience. The song I decided to choose was Pompeii by Bastille because it is a nice song with no cursing.

At first, I was stuck when I was trying to figure out how to make my commercial. I asked my mom, dad, and grandma for advice. All I really got from them was " I don't know" or " Try asking somebody else". Then I went to ask my friend Marc and he suggested using a mobile app called Videostar. I was actually thinking of using it to produce my commercial at first. But when I downloaded the app it didn't make any sense to me. The app itself was quite confusing and weird. I found it difficult to navigate around the app. And I honestly didn't even know where to start. So I decided to look for other options. Later that day I asked another one of my friends the same question. She recommended using another mobile app called iMovie. When I went to go download it I realized I had the app downloaded the whole time. I was starting to work on it for around 10 minutes but I had to stop. It was just too laggy and slow. The app was so uncooperative that it was getting me...
