Homework: Finish script, plan/props for commercial

Today:
Students began filming the commercials that the have written for the string of lights. They are demonstrating their use and knowledge of the 21 advertising techniques that we have learned in this unit.

The classes found that the more prepared they were before they went up to tape, the more successful their tapings were. Having lines memorized, how people stand pre-planned, and knowing where the cuts are all help make a commercial run more smoothly.

I was very impressed with some of the commercials that were taped at home. I think a lot of the groups did a nice job and were really effective.
