L03 Unit 30 TV Advertising



LO3 be able to produce a television advertisement


Evidence:

Synopsis

Our adverts focus is to sell our all-in-one body wash called Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. The advert starts off with an establishing shot; the shot shows the location of the advert and the character that is going to appear in the advert. The main character is a male; he is shown walking on a pathway.

The first scene focuses on the main character walking on a pathway. As the main character is walking there are a group of students in the background. You are able to see the group of students mocking the main character because of his body odour. There then is a close-up of the main character sniffing himself as he has recognised that he is carrying the horrible odour.

The next scene is filmed in his bathroom. There is a close-up of the shower head spraying out water. The shot then moves on to a close-up of the body wash as the main character has picked it up. A voice over appears while the shot is in focus. The next shot is mid-shot of the main character squeezing the body wash onto his hands. We then see a close-up of his back while he is rubbing the body wash onto it.

The next shot is a close-up of his head. He is massaging and washing his hair with the product. The shot is followed by a mid-shot where you can see the Hugo Boss Bottled fragrance on the corner of a bath. The body wash then appears next to the fragrance it is slammed on to the corner of the bath. The next shot is the main character washing his hair. At this point two facts about the product appear on top of the shot of his hair.

The final scene is located back at the first location which is Sidney Stringer School. He walks back on the pathway but this time feeling confident knowing he smells great and looks hot. He walks past the same group of students and this time he gains the attention from them in a positive way. They present gestures that show that he really does look good and smell great. As he is walking towards the school building, two girls are walking towards him. They are mesmerised by his good looks and smell that they turn around and follow after him.

    Recce photos of your chosen locations (put in WORD; annotate, justify location choices)












    The location that we have used is in Shamim's house and it is his bathroom. The bathroom is an en-suite bathroom. It is small and has a shower in the corner. The bathroom was suitable for filming the advert because there was enough light to light up the area of the bathroom and shower area.

    The reason why we chose 'Shamim's house’ to film is because it is the only area that we can use that matched the requirements that we needed which was a well-lit area, safe and a place that is suitable to film. An alternative location that we could have chosen to film in is the schools PE department, where they have showers. The reason why we didn't choose this location is because the lighting there was not good and the location isn't perfect because it does not look homely.



     
     


    We also decided to film two of our scenes outside ‘Sidney Stringer Academy’. We used the pathway which leads to the reception. Our lead actor is seen walking down the path towards the school as he is attending sixth form. We used this location as it looks believable that the character is attending sixth form. The location was spacious and looked really good on film.



    One of our chosen locations was the area just outside the school building we chose this particular location as it seemed suitable to film our scenes there as it looked like a professional location to use. 



    Another reason why we chose to film at this location as it met our requirements as it was outdoor it had perfect surroundings and seemed fit for purpose as it had perfect lighting.



    Permissions for use of locations/ music







































    Risk assessment







    Storyboard

    (include clear directions for shot sizes and angles e.g. ES; low CU; canted MS; LS etc.)











    Camera diagrams highlighting camera set ups

    (where will the camera be set up on a particular scene)





    Lighting diagrams (if necessary)




    We did not use any lighting equipment as Sidney stringer academy does not provide lighting equipment. we have used natural lighting from our location and the lighting facilities from our camera.



    Production roles (who worked as director, actors, camera operator, editor etc)



    Zahra Ali: director, camera operator and editor

    Shamim Miah: actor and editor

    Shoaib Jussab: director, camera operator and editor



    The director creates the overall vision of how he/she wants the film to look like. The director is responsible for make sure the camera operators are capturing the best shots required for the film. The director needs to be a good leader and should be able to motivate his/her team to work to the best they can. Directors need to be calm and should be able to work hard under pressure. A director can also be involved in the editing process of the film.
