Planning Blog for FLHS Commercial

Once we thoroughly discussed our plan for our commercial all the way through. We decided to capture the first annual Fright Night event, taking place at Fort Lauderdale High School. As our audio we will be using a voice over, as well as some instrumental music throughout the entire commercial. Our idea, is to have Amina, who will be playing the role of little red riding hood, walk through an empty hallway as she is on the way to a party. As she is walking, something fall out of her basket. Amina or Little Red Riding Hood decides to bend over and pick it up. As she begins to stand up she sees this very tall man with a mask on standing in front of her with a bloody knife. The screen will then fade out into the next scene when she wakes up on the floor in the middle of a dance party. She wakes up confused as to what just happened. The scene will then jump cut to her partying and trying to forget about what just happened. That is until she sees the same man with the mask on walk by her again. Our cameraman Josh will get a close up of Amina's face and we will then end the commercial.

We will be using a few props, such as the fake bloody knife Charli will be holding, when she stands in front of Amina. We will also utilize cups to make the party scene a little bit more believable. Our costumes will consist of a red riding hood costume, a scary mask, and the extras in the scene will also have on costumes as well. The scheduled itinerary we plan on following is: today ( October 10th) plan our commercial, do some pre storyboarding, write a script, and come up with who will be doing what. Next class period (October 14th) we will do a final storyboard and make sure our plan is properly thought out. The location our scenes will be taking place, is in the hallway by building 21.

Although we are confident in this plan, our plan b will be to focus into the day in the life of a FLHS Cambridge student. Where we will be filming a kid in the program inside of a classroom, displaying the daily things they will endure. This plan was actually our original idea until Fright Night became apparent to us. In our backup  though we were going to use a voice over with some hand held camera action. Using different editing techniques to make a good commercial. The idea was to have the voice over display all the good qualities of being a student in the program while the actual image displayed was a kid sleeping, being late to class etc. Kind of showing the reality of highschool but doing so in a funny way.
