To conclude

I wanted to conclude this final creative strategy, by just saying thanks
everything during this class. I know that I had outside obligations come into play that kept me from having perfect attendance, and getting everything that I could have out of class, but I managed to learn a ton of very cool, and practical stuff, and have a very fun time along the way. I know can say I know how to upload photos and edit them in detail, make a website for myself and make sweet videos. Thanks Again for everything and have a great summer everyone!

To begin with I chose to work on this project by myself because I felt that it wouldn’t be fair to work with someone else as I go home to GrandePriairie every weekend, and I am working at Maddhatters on the rest of the days and most evening as this is my only class to fulfill the final requirements for my business degree.

To begin with, I decided to once again go with a route that no one else would go down and that being a commercial for the bar that I am partial owner of, Liquid Lounge in The Ramada Hotel. The Bar has been a hug part of my life and I thought it would be cool to make a silly little commercial. Since our radio ad campaign has been based on a large portion of spoofs and satire and very freelance, I thought it would be cool to go in the same direction.

Me and Ray, My partner where watching TV a couple of weeks ago and we seen a commercial for a pizza commercial, about “it just tastes like delivery”, I think that you may have seen it. We thought it would be funny for us to rip off the commercial and have someone eating in a restaurant, as it would be so stupid it would be funny.

I have a friend who work for a place called the commercial factory who help me with the original filming of the video, and I did the majority of the editing on my dads laptop in Grande Prairie as he is into video editing himself. He helped me and taught me the basics of the program. I think that some of the methods that I used may have been a little orthodox, but all in all between the lectures, the tutorials, and a lot of time playing around I think that I got a really good grasp of the program.

In Addition, I have experience with adobe audition and mix vinyl on my spare time. I put together a minute and half mix session that I was originally going to use as the back ground music but when I did, it ended up kicking with the beat of the music playing in the restaurant and took away from the overall quality of the commercial so I took it out, and opted to chop sections of it to use at the opening and ending and I think it works for and not against the commercial.

I think that the overall product is short, sweet and funny. Exactly what I wanted it to be. I think that if I were to watch the video and never have been there I would think that it was funny and would draw my interest to go there. I am so glad that I got to do this video because it really tied together Adobe Photoshop, Premiere and even audition together, and its amazing what you can do between the three of them and how interchangeable they are.
