Production Blog

 Hey there Cambridge. Its your friendly neighborhood, Isahiah Melendez. 

Back again with yet another... Production blog!!! Yay! I know you love reading these, so I'll be sure to produce about 500 more for you. Our next day making the video, we feature Renato's house, lawn, neighborhood, and last but not least. His car! Within these shots we feature a couple props and a costume. Finn dresses as a woman and wears a blonde wig. In this shot I'm gifting his character a brand new BMW. The BMW is topped with a bow we purchased off Amazon. For this, we needed Conner to hold the bow down until the car came into shot. As this happens, Conner has to make a quick escape out of frame. This is due to the windy conditions we had on this day. The bow would NOT stay on the car at all. This took us a couple tries because we'd get Conner in the shot a couple times. Additionally, the bow would fall off occasionally. Along with the oncoming traffic coming in and out of Renato's neighborhood. We then cut to a scene with me and Finn inside the car he was just gifted. We use an over the shoulder shot to show me handing Finn's character some money to go along with the car. Then, we show what seems to be us driving the car. This completed the scene Drake featured in his music video, and therefore concluded our recording for the day.

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...
