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.
