Production Blog

     Hey what's up guys it's me again! Isahiah Melendez back with another blog to keep you hip with the process. Day 3 we moved the set to a nearby CVS to portray the idea of a citizen shopping and having all their items paid for by a music artist. The customer was played by Renato and the music artist was played by Finn. You can see Finn hand the money to Renato. Then the camera cuts to a Dutch angle of Renato shopping down a candy aisle getting anything he wants. We also have another shot where we use me as another customer. This time I'm at the self-checkout buying myself some items. When I'm stopped from paying myself. Conner is the giver this time, handing me money to pay my expenses. During this journey however we had some struggles with the employees as they suspected us of trying to steal. They also had difficulties with allowing us to record, but eventually they became lenient. On the way leaving, I was stopped and confronted about a Gatorade I bought and it made the process a lot less enjoyable. Afterwards, we took our crew to a nearby park in Renato's neighborhood. With the new scene featuring a homeless man and our team. This time we gift him with a check of $250,000. In this scene Conner plays as the homeless man, Finn records, and me and Renato present him with the money. This is a recreation of the shot from Drake's original video. We bought the check from Amazon and wrote on it with a sharpie to make it look more official. This was the last shot that we completed 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...
