Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Rosh Hashanah. Now that we've ushered in a new year, it's time to usher in our proper marketing!
That means COMMERCIALS!!
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday we will be filming our commercials.
When one group is filming, you may read over your scripts and practice, make last minute adjustments to your scripts, or if you need to do last minute adjustments on your prototype, that is what you will be doing.
Just because you are not filming does not mean it is free time to goof off.
On Friday, we will be witnessing the Second Continental Congress!

Commercials
So you've begun writing (or have already finished) your scripts for your commercials. Fantastic! But I want you to watch a few examples of commercials for popular products and think about the following statement:
"How does my commercial compare to these?"
Of course, these were written and produce by professionals. But that doesn't mean that your commercials have to be any less awesome than these are.
Once you've compared your script to the commercials, you are to go back and write a 2nd draft of your script.
To write the second draft of your script, use the Script Template linked on the right. There is also a link to a Script Example that uses this same template.
NOTE: You will need to MAKE A COPY of the Script Template. To do this, go to FILE then click MAKE A COPY. It will save it to your Google Drive and you'll be able to edit it.
Your script needs to be 1 page long (in screenwriting 1 page = 1 minute of film) and needs to look like the Script Example in how it is written.
You will turn in BOTH the 1st and 2nd draft to me by the end of class today, September 15th, on our GoogleClassroom.
Scripts turned into me after class is over (so after 9:40 a.m.) will be considered late and 5 points will be deducted from your grade automatically. I will deduct 5 more points for each day afterwards that it is late.
Work hard and thoughtfully on this. Do not turn in a meh project.
You will need headphones for this. You will be listening to them on your own. There should be no talking during class today. We will cast our commercials later, do not talk to your classmates further about being in yours and/or their commercial.

Sadly, Charleston has been postponed, but we're still going to have fun! You've built prototypes in Tinkercad, but due to certain limitations, not every project will be 3D printed.

Tuesday--Finish up Cardboard prototypes if necessary, begin Marketing flier
Wednesday--Finish Marketing flier, begin writing script for commercial.
