For my second weekly video assignment, I decided to make a commercial. I love JIF peanut butter so I thought I should make it on JIF! I tried to squeeze the video into a 15 second window because I feel like that is a pretty standard window for an ad. This assignment was more fun than the other one and If I had more resources I feel like I could have made this ad a lot better!

For this assignment, for 5 stars, I wanted to create an 80’s themed advertisement video. I chose to feature the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x because it was invented in 1984 and became one of the world’s first cell phones so it was a very important innovation of the decade. I took to iMovie for this assignment, chose my type, and then went to editing. This week, I focused a lot on my transitions and adding more to add to the production level. With this video, I explain what it is, what it does, and how much it is. I added transitions between each slide, music in the background, and added titles for a majority of the slides as well. I do some voiceover with the audios to explain what I wanted to, so I had to adjust the audio. It’s about 38 seconds, which I believe is short and sweet but also gets the point across. I had so many problems with my MAC with it continuing to shut down on my computer, but I finally got it to save. I had to upload it to Vimeo just because it would NOT upload to Youtube no matter what I did. Here is my assignment!
