Commercial Project

Today in my Aice Media Studies class, we picked our groups and did research for our commercial project. My group members are Montana and Amanda. I think that we will be a good team because we all share the trait of creativity. I think that having all this creativity in our group will help our assignment in the long run. However, I do think that it may cause some bumps along the road. When deciding which topic to do our commercial on we had narrowed it down to two topics, anti-vaping or a FLHS commercial. We decided on doing a commercial for the school, advertising to persuade 8th graders to attend Fort Lauderdale High School, for the next school year. 

In a commercial there are many aspects relating to conventions and codes. They can be described as techniques, props, and people that are used to enhance a scene. In our particular theme, we focus on an academic and friendly environment at the school. We will provide information on what makes our school unique, from expressing details on our many clubs and activities to the great education you can receive at our school. We could possibly incorporate opinions from other students and talk about the positives of the school’s overall atmosphere.

We chose this topic of FLHS for a few reasons such as, the possibility of our video being shown to the class of 2024, to persuade them to attend Fort Lauderdale high school for their upcoming freshmen year. It is also a good project to start with due to its simplicity, since we have firsthand experience of what would draw in these students. Lastly, this topic was ideal over the others because our designated filming location, is the perfect scenery for the scenes of the commercial. Making this the ideal topic for my group to choose.
