Planning

   Hey, today my group and I begun the planning process of our commercial. We chose to do a commercial on the McDonalds happy meal and the condiments that come with it. The happy meals come with: nuggets, a cheeseburger,french fries, apples or yogurt and a drink (milk,juice, water etc.). 

   We sat down and discussed where,when, and how we are going to record our commercial. The first thing that we chose is a location. We will record an establishing shot outside of a McDonalds and we will record the inside setting to give viewers an insight to how the environment looks. We're also going to tape one of our members ordering a happy meal from a cashier. Our second location/back up location will be on Fort Lauderdale High Schools campus. If we aren't able to record someone ordering a menu we'll use the media center tables and have a group member dress up as a cashier. 

   For our props we plan to use a happy meal box from McDonalds. We'll also use the food and toys inside the box as props. There will also be a hat and a clown nose included on our lists of props. The hat will be used as a hat for our cashier. I will use the clown nose to top off my clown outfit. When it comes to costumes my group and I plan to dress like children and one of us will dress up as a cashier. I'm going to try and dress up similar to Ronald McDonald. Ronald McDonald is a clown that is used as a mascot to represent McDonalds. 

This is just everything I said put into chronological order.

• Commercial Idea: McDonalds Happy meal
• Props: Happy meal box, food, toys, drink, cashier hat and clown nose
• Costumes: Cashier outfit, childish outfits, clown outfit
• Location(s): McDonalds and Fort Lauderdale High
• Back up plan: Record in the media center
