Research and Planning Blog

Hello blog I'm back and beginning the process of picking out everything for my commercial. The first step in my process was having to find photos of myself. However, this was a problem since I don't have any content of myself on my phone. I even looked through different social media apps but I was unable to find anything. Fortunately, my mother had numerous photos of myself at different ages and periods that I could use for the commercial. I was also able to find pictures of myself around the house from when I was younger. Many of my friends also sent me more photos of that I could use. The next step in my process was to find two to three videos of myself to include in the commercial. The videos were much harder to find even with the help of my mother. In the end, I was barely able to find four with none of them being anywhere near recent. However after contacting some family members, I was able to obtain one more video. I also contacted some friends to ask for videos. However, nobody was able to find any more videos I could use. When it came to pick a song that would be included in my commercial I had multiple choices in mind. I really wanted to include a song made by my favorite artists since it could be used to explain more about what I like. Sad to say, most of my favorite songs I had in mind are deemed to be explicit so I won't be able to use them unless I find a clean version. However, I didn't worry too much since I had found a couple of songs that I enjoyed which were appropriate to use for the commercial. After I found which song to use, I also began to have a couple of ideas on how I could set up my commercial. Luckily, I am still in the research phase of this commercial so this gives me time to properly choose which photos and videos I want to include before the production officially starts. I have high hopes that with my research and planning, my commercial will end up looking good.
