So, as I explained in my last blog, last week Saturday we had the first STN Practice of the school year. Just to give you a quick recap of what happened, I was in a group with Lilly, Brooke, and Mari, and we were assigned to make a 3o second commercial advertising a CKTV hat. We had 4 hours (2 hours of filming, 2 hours of editing), so from 8am to noon, we worked really hard on our commercial. Overall, I think that it was alright, but it definitely had room to improve!
One way that we could have improved our commercial was by making it a little more clear. You see, at one part of the commercial, when Brooke was starting to get popular, a boy was supposed to ask her out, but when it came time to act out that scene, I think the boy got embarrassed, and instead of asking her out he just poked his friend and said "Gavin". We decided to still include that part in the commercial, but I don't think we should have because when everyone watched it they didn't understand that part.
Another way we could have improved our commercial was by re-checking it to make sure it flowed before turning it in. For the most part the commercial was okay, but at the end of the commercial we wrote "Get you free CKTV hat today for only $13.99 (or something like that). If you noticed, we wrote "Get you CKTV had" instead of "Get your CKTV hat". I think that was a pretty big error because it didn't make sense and you could really tell we made a mistake (which is very unprofessional-like)! I also think if re-checked our video before turning it in we could of cut down one second of the video (since the commercial was one second too long) and also just fixed anything we saw.
However, we did have some good things about our video that I think should be noticed. For one, we turned it in on time! This is a big accomplishment, and I think we were able to do this because we worked well as a team and were able to stay on track. Another positive thing about our video was that we used a special effect in our video to make it more interesting, which I think people enjoyed. Also, although there were a few errors, I think for the most part people understood the commercial and it was clear that we were trying to sell the CKTV hat.
In conclusion, I think that the first STN Practice was a success. Our commercial had some errors, but overall it was pretty good, especially for the first STN Practice. Next STN Practice though, I will no longer be in the commercial team, but instead be in the Movie Trailer team. To be honest though, I'm actually pretty excited because the movie trailer team was actually my first choice. Well, I guess that's all for now, but I'll definitely make sure to write about the next STN Practice!
