Commercial(Oct. 22 - Nov. 10)
Create a unit titled: Production : Commercial
Put your Commercial idea in this Unit. It has to be a BBA related product. Be specific and put your script, location and what you need to make a good commercial. You will write a “pitch” for a Commercial. It can NOT be longer than thirty seconds and it has to relate to the BBA Community somehow. PSA's will cover serious topics or while commercials will be comical. Embed your script and Storyboard (you can take a cell phone picture and upload it if you like) into this Unit and be ready to verbally share it with the actors. Preproduction is critical!
You will be put in groups with actors and you will all pitch your ideas. Decide which idea has the strongest chance of being produced. Create a Storyboard if you are the director of your film. Then Create a shot list for the day (s) you will shoot. (Here are some templates)
After you have filmed the commercial upload it to vimeo and share it with the rest of the crew and the actors. Embed the films that you made and share them with the rest of the crew and the actors. The written piece will need to be a much more detailed than your previous paragraphs as you have now had more exposure to film making but you are new at working with actors.
Add a strong set of notes that especially describes the use of story boards, shot lists, pre-production, working with Jim, working with actors, the importance of each job. Please add a daily journal (Day / Date and Notes) in your note section as well.
