Commercial Video

 My class was assigned a commercial project to do. We had options on what our commercial could be about. Some of these options were: a commercial about our school, Nike products, or food places such as McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts. My group and I chose to do a McDonalds commercial. After reviewing our idea we decided to keep the focus on the happy meal. The McDonalds happy meal is basically a kids meal. We decided to make a commercial based on a mother and her children ordering the happy meal from McDonalds. We used barbie dolls as well as  an actual McDonalds happy meal box for our props. We only had 2 real days to film in school. We had 1 hour before lunch started to film the scenes that were on the senior patio. We were only allowed one hour because we weren't allowed to be at another lunch. We did make a storyboard prior to filming our commercial. We actually did follow every scene in our storyboard. Due to us doing this our filming process went much smoother. The only issue that occurred during this process was when it was time to edit. We had trouble using pinnacle studios due to the school laptops running slow. The due date for our commercial came closer so we decided to use Laurens laptop to edit. We edited our film with iMovie and found that is was much easier to use. After editing we turned our film in by using a flash drive and uploading it to my teachers laptop. This was a very good and beneficial learning experience.
