Planning for my school PSA commercial

 Planning Blog

Welcome Back, everyone. It's Marvin and I'm here to tell you all about the planning my group and I have done for my commercial!

Props:

Being that my group and I came to an agreement to make a commercial promoting the Fort Lauderdale High Mock Trial Team, a main prop we will use is a gavel. We will also use other props like a podium and a trophy.


Costumes:

In our commercial, we will have 8 subjects in total. This includes all three of our group members at one point along with 5 other people who are members of the Fort Lauderdale High Mock Trial Team. They would all be wearing “court attire”. This means they would dress up as if they were going to court. For the boys, this would include button up dress shirts that are long sleeved and could be any color, with any color tie. For bottoms, they would wear dress slacks and for shoes they would be dress up style shoes. For the girls, there can be variations. The girls may wear button up dress shirts like the guys, blouses or a dress. For bottoms they can wear skirts or dress slacks and for shoes they may wear either heels or flats. Everyone can wear their hair as they please. The whole vision behind the costumes is for everyone to look professional. 


Schedule:

On 09/27/22, our group research conventions and codes of school PSA’s.

On 09/29/22, our group establish the props, costumes, schedules, location list, and backup plan.

On 09/30/22, our group will create the storyboard for the commercial.

On 10/06/22, our group will film and record the necessary shots for our commercial.

On 10/08/22, our group will edit and add the final touches to the commercial.


Location List:

Our main location we will use is  the courtroom of Fort Lauderdale High School. In the courtroom, we will film to show the place where the mock trial team practices, prepares, and sometimes performs with our 8 subjects. This will help get across the message to help promote the Mock Trial Team. But there are some variations as to the locations and amount of subjects. 


We will use various locations across Fort Lauderdale High School. This could include in front of the media center, lunch eating area, and other places. We will film adding 1 subject to the shots each time, so we will start off with 1 subject in the courtroom, then add another subject each shot at a different location on school campus doing different things until we get to the full 8 subjects. We will then end with all 8 subjects in the courtroom with a final message. 


Backup Plan:

If the weather is not good, we will film in locations that are covered. This will still include the courtroom and other places like in front of the media center, near the stairwell, etc but won’t include the senior patio due to there being no covering. If one of our group members is absent, then one of the actors would take the position of the cameraperson. 


This is Marvin , signing off!

  Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

Group Blog

Hey everyone it's Marvin and welcome to my blog! For the group project, I chose my two teammates to be Kyra Myers and Mya Aly. Kyra and Mya both have media studies a different period than I. While I have media studies 8th period, they have it 5th period. I chose Mya and Kyra to be in my group because I have a really great connection with the both of them. When I first met them, it was almost like an instant connection. Giving some background, I first met Kyra all the way back in 6th grade when we both attended Nova Middle. We both had the same science class. On the first day, we talked for the first time in the cafeteria at lunchtime if my memory serves correctly. I met Mya the first week of 9th grade year in 1st period. Mya would help me with memorizing the material, she would give me the ins and outs, and show me the ropes. All three of us are on the mock trial team which helps our connection with one another. Being on the mock trial team together, we all have to spend a lot of t...
