Hello again!

Day 2 of my journey to success with this commercial. I've made a couple small steps for me, but big leaps for my project progress. In terms of content, I've gotten help from some family members providing with me with some pictures and videos from my childhood that I couldn't access on my own. Whether that be funny moments from my past or just me standing there and looking cute for the camera. Anything helps when advertising myself. When it comes to music, I've pretty much just been scanning my playlists for anything I think could be appropriate and effectively match the kind of video I'm making. I'm still thinking it'll be Billie Eilish, and I'm now leaning towards her song Hotline. As it excludes any lyrics that may be remotely depressing and ruin the mood that the "commercial" is supposed to give off. Additionally, receiving help from friends, I'm learning how to use editing apps. The most popular one used at the time is CapCut. It's used in Tiktok edits, Instagram edits, and even in videos on YouTube. Therefore, it seems that that is clearly the app to be using at this point in time. I've also heard that it's easy to use from multiple people, but I'd assume that it's because they've gotten used to it. I've luckily gotten these "expert" editors on my side to guide me through the process of becoming a master VFX one-man team. I'm looking forward to mastering the program and meshing all of my creative thoughts into a video that perfectly depicts me perfectly as a person. Some videos and pictures that I think will be most effective would be my childhood videos. I think they really help display the foundations of my personality and how I've grown up. This gives the watcher a lot of insight allowing them to fully grasp the kind of person they're watching. I think watching the evolution of me is a great way to advertise my life. Which is a sentence I never thought I'd say.

Hey there! It's me again... Isahiah! Today is the first day that I'm going to talk about the production of my commercial. Now, first of all, I'm not going to lie. I'm still not exactly sure how what or how I'm going to do for my project. However, I have started brainstorming what song I'd like to use to represent me. As covered in my previous blog, I'm a big fan of storytelling artists such as J Cole and I really enjoy artists' music that contain creative instrumentals such as Travis Scott. While it's very easy for me to go ahead and pick my favorite song or song that I like, I can't just choose any song for this occasion. The song has to enable me to edit my content because without the proper cadence a video can prove very difficult to edit, and I'd like for things to have as little difficulty as possible. There are many artists that often produce songs that are very easy to edit over, and I do happen to like some of their music. Artists suc...
