Instructions
- Choose one of the case study videos above as a model / inspiration.
- Analyse the video to see what you think is effective. Consider: Camera angles, extreme close-ups, voice over, use of titles, mis en scene, attitude, message, sequencing, locations, etc.
- Review the commercial rubric to focus your effort and achieve success.
- Have a creative brainstorming session – let the ideas run free – give yourself 20 minutes, then see if you’ve made some progress. If so, keep going. If not, re-evaluate how you’re managing your brainstorming session.
- Use the storyboard worksheet to design your video.
- Lights! Camera! Action! – Shoot your scenes. Shoot several takes of each shot. Try them from different angles. Shoot more than you think you’ll need – extra bits are helpful when it comes to editing. Replay what you have right away to see if everything is recorded the way you wanted. Be very careful of background or wind noise. These can be a big problem.
