Treatment/ script/storyboard - homework

Today in lesson we analysed and read/ acted out a 60 minute TV advert script.
We looked at and tested shot types to establish the best ones to create a certain atmosphere.
We thought about audio - slightly - digetic and non-digetic sound.

Your task is to:

1. Analyse one of your  three TV adverts from the last homework and type up a script of it - use example to help. Remember scene to scene - like in class.

2. Create a treatment for a TV advert any theme/ product can be used. Word doc/ name/ etc
Advert is to be shown before the 9pm watershed so it must not break any ASA laws.

3. From your treatment you will type up a script for a 30 second advert.
You must include shot types / voice over and uses correct codes. You will be re-inacting scenes on Monday in lesson.

I have added all paperwork for you below as examples. Some of you took photographs to help you.

Think about all of the adverts you have seen and use them to create a strong advert for you.

Summer Projects ....for completion in the Summer

You have nearly completed your first year of Digital Media (ish)

One of your units is to have an impressive on-line media profile

We don't want all profiles to be the same - we would expect that merits and distinctions are personal, creative, informative and embrace media issues and growing technology.

Add a post ( with links ) for each of the following :

1) Some form of  creative outcome using technology - this might be  using  an app to make a video, add effects to photographs, digital drawing package, animation- record the process - record the outcome as it progresses, evaluate the software , evaluate your outcome- again make this creative as possible for example maybe a you tube tutorial piece to camera, maybe a short demo video,

2) Review a media product/ .
again this can be as engaging as possible, you could review a gig you attend, a pop video, a film review, add campaign that grabs your attention, a new game that out. trip to media city, tour round a media company, an interview with some one involved in the above.

As always the TWO  tasks are starting points and are the bare minimum for a pass, we get merits and distinctions by expanding on these, making them high end outcomes.

I'm hoping that this will get you into the habit of looking wider than S11 for your media course.
You can use your blog to really personalise and show the examiner the creativity/ interests you have beyond the work we set.

A 30-second ad during ITV's breakfast schedule between the likes of Good Morning Britain or Lorraine costs between £3,000 to £4,000 on average. 
For a daytime slot, ads of the same time length come in at £3,500 to £4,500, while a peak rate alternative can cost anything from £10,000 £30,000.

On average Channel 4 is cheaper than ITV. A 30-second slot on daytime TV can cost between £1,000 to £2,000. Peak rates during shows like Hollyoaks or Catastrophe clock in at £10,000 to £20,000.

Channel 5 is the cheapest national ex-terrestrial channel to advertise on according to Guerillascope's estimates. The typical cost of a day rate ad is £800 to £1,600. A peak time slot - which can be purchased for breaks during programmes like Neighbours or Big Brother - can cost between £2,500 to £4,500.
