Planning for my Hair Extensions Commercial

 Planning Blog

Props:

For this hair extensions commercial, I will be using wigs and faux hair as the main props. Other props will be hair supplies to put on the wig such as freeze spray, hair glue, lace cap, and a mirror.

Costumes: In my commercial, I will have two females as the main focus. Our models will wear the hai extensions along with vacation styled clothes. The will be barefooted in some scenes or have on slippers/heels depending on the outfit. We will also have our models wear a light face of makeup just to coverup any blemishes. Finally, the models will wear light jewlery so their outfit doesn’t look too incomplete but doesn’t take away from the focus on the hair.

Schedule: 

On 10/21/20’ I watched multiple hair extensions commercial and contacted a few women who I know are in that business to know what my commercial needs to highlight.

On 10/22/20’ I came up with how I want the shoot to go such as location, costumes, and props. 

On 10/23/20’ I created a backup plan, and conventions .

On 10/27/20’ I will complete the storyboard.

On 10/28/30 I will film the first shot of the commercial 

On 10/ 30/20’ I will edit the commercial 

Location list:

Our main location will be the house since we will be filing a behind the scenes of the girls getting ready and feeling beautiful with big smiles in their hair extensions. This will show the audience how they can install the hair themselves too and how easy it is. One girl will already have her hair extensions installed since it is locs and they take over 7 hours to do unlike installing a wig. 

My second location will be at the beach in Jamaica. The beach shows the hair in a tropical climate on women living their best lives. Shooting the hair bouncing in slo motion with a beautiful scene will be the perfect touch for this commercial.  

Backup Plan: 

If the rain continues into next week, I will have to do the commercial in doors. Instead of the beach natural idea I will have the model switch out into different outfits and edit it like Beyoncé did in her countdown video or the freakum dress video. 

Here is behind the scenes of my first hair extensions shoot that I ever did.

Music Video

  For this music video, I had to go through 30 minutes' worth of footage. For some of the footage, I realized slo-mo wasn't the best option for them because I had to end up speeding it up. When I sped them up, I added transitions to make sure it doesn't look choppy. When filming I made sure I had different camera angles and movements. In the beginning, I started with a birds-eye view by standing on top of the bed. My actor was sleeping and I was hoping to get the alarm ringing in the back of the music but it did not. Fast forward to the running shots this was to put in multiple angles and give off a calm vibe. Running is associated with having a good routine and being on track to wellness. The whole morning routine was to bring the audience along with me on my Jamaica morning routine during the lockdown. If there was no lockdown as stated in the song, you would've seen multiple people out enjoying the Jamaica sun every morning. (10) Next on the journey is the forest. Th

  Filming Blog   Over thanksgiving break I was complicating if I should film. Due to it being a holiday season, Jamaica curfew started earlier so if I was to go on the road and film, I might take awhile to come home. If you are caught out during curfew you have to pay a fine which was raised o $51 US dollars since it is the holiday time. My house was filled with family who stayed the week because we haven’t seen them at all during the two months we been here. My mom also took this break as an opportunity to bring us sight seeing in Jamaica since we didn’t have school. During break I came down with something. My throat was sore, nose was stuffy, and every time I talked I got a headache. I got tested for COVID since I was going to be around people and did not want to containment my family. This had been my fifth COVID test and it came back negative. Don’t worry all my COVID tests before this one were to get approved to travel and we kept having to go back and do a new one since something

Planning for my Music Video

 For my props, I will be using a Jamaica dress with the Rasta colors on it. The Rasta colors are red, green, yellow, and black. A hairstyle that connects to the culture is locs which I will also be wearing. The community will be in the background but due to corona I will not be interacting with them as much. The last prop I plan to use is fruits that remind you of Jamaica. 5     In my commercial, I will have one main person to focus on. The muse will have on a dress with slippers which is common for the culture here to wear. The muse will have no makeup on to give off a natural and fresh look that compliments the laid back video. Finally, the muse will wear a necklace with the Rasta colors on it and other beach like necklaces. 4 The main location for the video will be in Montgomery Bay, Jamaica which has more of a tourist area so I can capture the locals. The locals are always on the road selling food or selling cute accessory’s. Like most regggae videos, they do a short shot of the lo
