Storyboard

   Today my group members and I discussed our storyboard. It is slowly but surely coming together piece by piece. We were given the option to fill in five or six slides, my group decided to complete all six of the slides. Each slide is 5-6 seconds which means the commercial will be about 30 seconds long.

    Slide 1 starts off with an establishing / wide shot of the outside of a McDonalds building. We are using an establishing shot to set the scene for viewers. After the establishing shot passes there will be a tracking shot of our actors walking out of McDonalds. We will be using certain areas in our school to substitute for places in McDonalds. A cutaway will happen which leads to slide 2. In slide 2 the screen will be split. An actor will advertise the McDonalds happy meal box and a child will approach the actor explaining her desire for a barbie doll. After the child pleads for a doll the scene will go into slide 3. In slide 3 the actor will advertise the different food items that come in the meal (french fries, nuggets, yogurt etc.) and then at the very end he will surprise the child and tell her that toys come in the meal. She will end up getting her doll after all. Another cutaway will lead into slide 4 which is where an actor will be ordering a happy meal from a cashier. ( these scenes will take place on school property ). After the actor receives the food he/she will express how delicious the food is and an eye line match will happen. After the eye line match slide 6 will appear. I slide 6 the McDonalds mascot will appear and persuade people to come try a happy meal after he does that a fade out will happen and that will conclude the commercial.
