  Scene 1 During the first scene, we wanted to bring all the attention to the girl losing the pen. It shows a quick dialogue between two girls. One girl is the friend and the other girl is the one who lost her pen. This scene also shows the pen falling down the steps as the girls are talking about it.  Scene 2 This next scene shows how the pen is falling down the stairs. This take really shows how the pen is moving because it will be in slow-mo.  Scene 3 This next part shows how the pen finally lands on the end of the stairs after the dramatic fall in the previous scene. Then someone goes to grab the pen up. Scene 4  As they are grabbing the pen it changes to another color. This would be a medium close-up shot.  Scene 5 Once they pick up the pen they hand it off to someone else. As they are exchanging the pen it again changes to another color. Then they hand it off to someone else. Scene 6  As they are handing it off the pen drops on the floor. Once it lands it changes color again. The

Props The main prop we will be using will be multiple colors of Paper Mate InkJoy Retractable Gel Pens with a medium 0.7 mm point. We will also use a notebook, a table, paper clips, back-backs, and a coffee cup. Costumes We are not doing specific costumes for filming. However, we will be trying to dress in school-appropriate clothes with a preppy school-spirited business casual vibe. We will make sure that we are in the same clothes for filming regardless of the day. Our story's timeline is one school day, so a costume change from an actor would be unnecessary. Schedules On 9/23/21, the group will research conventions and codes of Office supply products. On 9/23/21, the group will establish the props, costumes, Schedules, location list, and a backup plan. On 9/29/21, the group will create the storyboard for the 30-second commercial. On 10/1/21 and 10/5/21, the group will film the necessary shots on location for the commercial. On 10/7/21 and 10/11/21, our group will edit the commer

My group is doing a commercial on Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Pens. In office supply commercials, the audience usually sees the office supplies in use. In our case, we will need to show something being written with the pens.  The costumes shown are usually business casual attire such as dress shirts, slacks, cardigans, and ties or just school-appropriate clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. Props can be backpacks, papers, notebooks, folders, binders, crayons, and most importantly, the InkJoy pens. The actors usually appear blissful and excited as they bear a smile. The commercials usually have very upbeat music that is meant to get you excited to go back to school or back to work. Conventions and Codes in Inkjoy commercials include the brand name with the dual hearts ALWAYS shown. The brand name is the logo of the product so it is unlikely that you would find a commercial without it. In the commercials, the pens are always angled so that the logo is shown towards the camera. The pens are usua

  Some of my favorite commercials and films are Giecos " hump day " and  Harry Potter . I think these are both ironically timeless cinematic masterpieces my group would agree with me on. I chose this class because I heard it was almost required to work well in groups. I love working in groups, and I am looking forward to this commercial filming project. We have been brainstorming a few ideas already. I hope to achieve a catchy commercial that meets the requirements and has blended transitions from this project. I choose to work with Britanique Simpson, Eden Wright, and Isabel D'Onofrio. I met Britanique and Isabel during my freshmen orientation. They were the first people I talked to in high school. we walked around together and looked at clubs. I met Eden in my Spanish class which me and Britanique had together; Britanique introduced me to her. She helped us acclimate to high school and gave us comfort in what it was like as freshmen. I believe we will work well together

  I'm Ashleigh Miller, I'm currently 16, but I'll be turning 17 in November; my favorite color is black, and I recently got my driver's license. Most of my time is taken up by school, primarily after school is by SGA. I'm running for an officer position, but I have faith I'll get it. I enjoy it, though; I've been in SGA since middle school. There I was president and partook in many other clubs as well. I don't have much free time, but what I do have is spent on gardening, volunteering, self-care, and driving. I  have big college plans. I want to go to a top school in Florida and get a master's degree in hospitality or zoology. From there, I know I want to work on a cruise for at least five years and see where that takes me. I am a Sagittarius, so I want to travel and learn about the world as much as possible. Places on my bucket list include Alaska, Niagra falls, and Australia. My family is from Italy, so that's also on my list. I still have fami
