Production Blog: Thinking a bit more

Lets reconsider... 

    The editing process and the layout of the commercial is still being decided. From the pervious post, and the thoughts at the end, I can not properly make a decision. The idea of advertising myself as a product is smart, but it contradicts some of the editing ideas I have. I have the ability to advertise myself as a form of media, which would allow me to do the sound bridge/commentary. But I some ideas because of that.

    Since I might advertise myself as a piece of media, or in general, I might include another person. This person would talk about me like they are reviewing me as a product. If not, then they would talk about me and their experience with me. This person will most likely be my significant other, as they know me more than anyone else does. But, if they can not participate or do not want to, I will have one of my family, most likely one of my sisters, do the review.

    I have also thought of making the music more documentary themed. Of course, all music can be considered documentary music, but I want music that gives the feeling of a documentary. The reasoning for this idea is because the music should be able to hook the viewer. From having the viewer hooked onto the commercial from the balance of editing and music, the commercial would deem effective. I hope to achieve this as soon as possible, but searching for the right song will definitely be challenging.

    For when the videos are being introduced, I am thinking of having it do a sort of cutaway. I want the ambient sounds of the video to also be playing, to provide a sort of in person feeling for the viewer. Depending on what videos I will use, I might replace one of them with a present time video. The present time video might include certain shots like over the shoulder shots or even two shots. I can not wait to begin to test and put these ideas in action.
