Planning Blog

Today my group mates and I planned an outline for our commercial. We planned our weeks of working on the commercial to organize and to be more efficient. This will guide us into not making any mistakes. We also made a backup plan if something unexpected happens such as rain, our group mate is absent, or we aren’t allowed to film in the area we chose. Planning this is important because we will still be able to film even if our original plan becomes foiled. We also scheduled when to bring and what to bring as our costumes so we are able to film the day we need. Planning this will prevent us from falling behind and not having the ability to film on our designated day. We decided it would be best to start with a stock shot giving an overview of our school campus.
•Props: ID’s, backpacks, food. These emphasize that we are on school campus.
•Costumes: FLHS merchandise, blue black or white clothes, blue and white face paint, and blue accessories. This will show the emphasis of our school spirit.
•Schedule: 10/10-planning, 10/14- storyboarding, 10/22- filming, 10/24- editing. Planning out the weeks will help our group to be better organized.
•Locations: FLHS, building 5 stair case, senior patio, bus loop. We will know exactly where we need to go to help speed along the process of filming.
•Back up plan: If rain becomes a problem, instead of filming in the senior patio we will instead film at the picnic tables underneath an overhang outside of the cafeteria. We will extend the scene at the stair case instead of the bus loop. Additionally if someone is absent we will borrow a student from the class to replace the absent student.
