Research / Planning

Hozier one of the many alternative indie artists


 Hey blog, happy sunday right...I wanted to begin this blog with my imagination and my planning for the upcoming commercial. I can envision this is all about me. Though I don’t find myself all that interested, I've tried asking my friends to imagine a short film I can connect to. My friends have described me as a shortcoming of age film. I'm at the crucial age where I'm setting myself in the real world with a job and planning for the future. Though my life is stressful, I can show the imagery of a 17 year old girl passing through trying to find herself. 


MUSIC 

When looking into music I searched for a calm and neutral vibes. Since imaging a summer vibe into the working world. I want a genre that can fit the aesthetic like; classical music, cool jazz, alternative indie. Though I've found I'm more attracted to the three options are indie because of the low budget behind most videos, it’s much more budget friendly for a project of such. The music tied with the message of finding myself will go great with my commercial. Some artists I've thought of are, Hozier, Arctic Monkey, Nirvana, and Imagine dragon. These artists all have talked about some confusing issues in their work, or unsocial norms. The introverted sense of music and theme can conclude my video with its sense of unfinished and new beginning into the world. To think of my unpredictability and sense of unawareness because of my age can demonstrate my struggles and how I can overcome them with such a short commercial. Music speaks volumes and that’s why it is so important to pick the right song.  And that reason is why it still hasn't been chosen amongst these artists. 


Photos

When envisioning photos, I unironically have to think a little deeper. I'm not so much of a photogenic person. I want to demonstrate a view of me that can show me in a light I haven't even seen myself in. I don’t want to be picky about my demonstration of myself, but I want it to deliver something of true meaning. bringing life to a film or commercial should engage viewers not bore them, so please stand by while I plan. Thanks for tuning in to the blog.

choppy clips -production

Image
In production I plan on doing a view of my own eyes, through this lens, and taking it into a continuous loop, showing my day-by-day. However, it doesn’t change It is supposed to offer you my day isn’t so different from one of a working adult or that of someone who’s a slave to the government income. Then finally in the end it will show you how I break that cycle and take in my happiness with friends and chilling by the beach. However, on my first day of recording, I underestimated the difficulty. I would often forget to record or accidentally end the recording. Holding the camera up to my forehead was also difficult to capture the visual representation through my eyes. In another situation with the camera being held up, many people look at me weirdly, not that I care too much but personally capturing everyone in my video does seem unnecessary and rude. However, I am considering blurring non-consenting parties out. Clips The clips I have produced have been a little testing clips....

Angles and Editing

Image
  Hello blog, so I wanna talk about editing today. When editing clips I personally filmed. I started with changing the rotation. so if it was filmed horizontally by accident I changed it in my simple iPhone editing to vertically. I have not been able to completely watch the video, because my partner has not let me view the edits she’s made officially.   But when I am able to completely watch it. I hope to take out extra unnecessary clips and or clips that may have repetitive angles. Though there is no fundamental storyline, I want the angles, and editing to support the song. The visual appeal I’m following is that of one summer vibe, when looking at a previously filmed Khalid song she often uses filters over them changing lighting. I also want to do that because the time the song was produced aligns with the aesthetic of other music video videos.  Some creative angles I've shot or pitched can be seen throughout. My personal favorite was my and my partner's first film...

Filming cost

Image
 Hello blog, so to greatly recap my filming history. I must include the spending I've succumbed to in this process. Honestly just saying the title of the song out loud is a little ironic seeing as I’ve spent maybe more than a hundred dollars. I could just be acting dramatic but in this blog, I’ll account for the cost of filming.  So the first day of filming was actually the most budget-friendly and my partner got around with her parents' help, it was honestly the best filming day and we were able to go out and eat after. The second day of my filming was my Lyft to Las Olas (now I’ll pause right here, but something to take into account is majority of filming depends on availability and I work and also have other important classes I also partake in, cost and affordability of certain depends in ranges for me in my partner. I do not mean to exaggerate my spending I’m simply explaining how this project has not been cost affordable and I feel like it’s been neglected and should be a...
