Creating a Commercial

Promotion - Creating Commercials and more!

Part of our Promotion Unit requires the students to prepare a video commercial for the local conference center.  The students visit the center, learn about how the center promotes events, then create the treatment, storyboard, and video tape their commercial.  This is presented to class.  The students use the flip video cameras and Movie Maker to create the commercials.  Although this technology is becoming obsolete (the flip video camera), the students still seem to enjoy creating the story line and then manipulating the elements to create video and sound, incorperating their "acting"!
