Production Blog

Hi bloggers!
I wanted to continue elaborating on my process to get the clips and music for my commercial.
Music is something that means a lot to me, I have always carried a deep adoration for it.
I pay attention to all the little parts of music, the instruments, the background vocals, the lyrics, just everything that makes a song.

I take time to try and understand what the writer of the song was trying to insinuate through the song.
And even if I were to not be going through those specific situations, I think songs can be interpreted and applied personally.
So that's what I do, I think about my life and what I've gone through and how the lyrics could apply to me.
This allows me to enjoy music on a personal level.

Songs are something that can explain what I am feeling/thinking when I can't put it into words.
This is why I took a lot of time choosing which few songs I would incorporate into the commercial.

I listen to a lot of different music throughout the day, every day immersing myself in diverse genres.
This gave me a large display of songs to choose from for this project.

And I wouldn't say that this part of the editing process was 'stressful' per se, just a little bit time-consuming.
Every time I thought I had found the perfect selection of songs, I contemplated on if the songs truly went with the photos and videos I had.
I continuously went back and changed the songs that would be in the final production.

The songs that I chose were those by the artists Frank Ocean and SZA. 
These artists are ones that many people love and I completely understand why.
I chose to use their songs because I am in love with their work.
They are extremely talented and have released songs that I continuously blast.
Their songs are ones that I could never get tired of. And this was a strong reason as to why I included them in the commercial.
When I was choosing the music, I thought to myself that I would love to include music that I would still like in a couple of years.
I am very optimistic that these 2 artists' music will be included in that list.

Their music is chill and also something that keeps me at peace so in the end I was very content with choosing their music to include in my project.
