In my opinion, choosing the media to use in my commercial project was difficult. Although it was difficult this is the process of how I chose my media. I started by gathering all the photos I had of myself and I put them all on a USB. Next, I eliminated all the bad-quality pictures. Then I sorted the pictures by year. As I sorted them by year I tried to choose one from each month of that year if possible. Once I had around one picture from each month throughout the years I started sorting through them and narrowed them down. I narrowed them down by choosing my favorite pictures. These pictures were the ones that I felt explained me and my life the most. As for the videos my process was pretty similar to how I chose my pictures. My process of choosing them was by first eliminating the bad-quality videos. Then I sorted my videos just like my photos, by year. Then once I had sorted my videos by year I chose a few videos from each year. After that, I chose the videos from the happiest memories of my life and ultimately decided on those videos. Lastly, the way I chose the song for the commercial was a little bit different than the other media. Once I heard about the commercial project I knew what song I was going to use. The song I am going to use is a very special song for me. It reminds me of my relationship with my mom. I knew that song was the one to use because I wouldn't be me if it weren't for my mom. I also made sure the song I chose fit well with the other media.
