Commercial Groups 3rd

Commercial Project - Create a shot list for your commerial. Your shot list should have the following information:
Shot # - Location - Subject/Action - Shot Type - Camera Angle - Camera Movement
1 - Tea Garden - Mr. Dodge relaxing in a red chair - Wide Shot - Eye level - Pan left to right ending on Mr. Dodge.

3 - Tea Garden - Mr. Dodge's phone - Over the Shoulder - High Angle - Static

Shot List Template - you can use this shot list template or create your own.

Show this to your teacher before you start to shoot. Each group must submit a copy to Google classroom.

Begin shooting your commercial project, remember sound matters now so be sure you have the right equipment and that you check it before you leave!

Edit Sound Project 2 - Mic Comparison Video - submit to Google classroom.
Be sure to include a title and credits with music but no music during the video.
Sound Project #2 - Mic Comparison - use this project to practice reading your commercial script.
• You will create four different shots - each shot should include the mic IN the shot (if possible) so we can see where the mic is located as you make the shot.
Use a tripod to hold the camera and have the speaker sitting.
• Shot 1 - use the boom mic and shoot 10 seconds of an interview - the person must speak for the full 10 seconds, have them read something. Position the boom mic where it would normally be during an interview (actually a little closer to the person so you can see the mic but don't place it over their face.)
• Shot 2 - same interview but this time with a lavaliere mic.
• Shot 3 - same interview but this time use the camera mounted boom mic.
• Shot 4 - same interview but this time with the built in mic - be sure no other mic is connected to the camera.
Create a title for each shot so we know what mic you used and be sure the mic is IN the shot.

Why: Knowing the different types of shots is part of the movie making profession and this knowledge adds to the skill set of the videographer.

How: By completing the shot projects which involve each of the different types of shots.
