Planning Blog

Today in class we are doing a planning blog for our commercial. We are doing a Nike Commercial. In our commercial, we are going to have Alex and Jack playing soccer while wearing Nike gear. I will be filming the action. We will even be using a Nike soccer ball, cleats, socks and jerseys to fully endorse Nike in the commercial. We will be filming at the school soccer field so that it looks more like an actual commercial. Our goal is to show that Nike Gear can help you be a better player on the field and outperform your opponents so we have tried to make this show as much as possible.

Here is a list of things that we need:

Props:

A soccer goal and a Nike ball. For our backup plan, we would need a jump rope to show us training.

Costumes:

Since we will be soccer players, our costumes would be relatively simple, Nike cleats, Nike socks, Nike soccer shorts, Nike soccer jersey, and a Nike headband. For our backup plan, we would need Nike shoes, Nike socks, Nike shorts, and a Nike shirt. The difference between our backup and main would be that we do not need strictly Nike soccer gear for our backup commercial.

Schedule:

First we did the conventions blog for the Nike commercial on 10/8, today we are doing the planning blog for the Nike commercial, On the 10/15 we are going to do the storyboarding blog for the Nike commercial, We are then going to do the filming and the filming blog on 10/22 for the Nike commercial, Finally on 10/24 we are going to do the editing and the editing blog for the Nike commercial.

Location List:

We are going to be filming at the school soccer field as well as the bleachers and other spaces around it like the sidewalk.

Back-up Plan:

Our back up plan will be used if it starts to rain. Since our idea is Nike, we don’t need to use the whole soccer idea, we can make it revolve more around training instead. We can go to the covered stairs that lead to the library and have someone running up and down the stairs as if they were training. We could also have someone do sprints in the outside hallway by building 17. We can use the running at the stairs and the sprints as footage for the training commercial, instead of having it revolve around soccer. We could bring a jump rope and take videos of that for the whole training theme.
