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...

 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 bac...
