Costume and Props

Actor/Model profile

What I have learnt:
Fom doing this piece I am now able to give the characters more of a background than just two people in the gym and two people on the running track. By giving the charcters more of a background the advert itself will make more sense as you can now understand why Glen is in the gym and why Tom is out on the track rather than just random coinsidence.

Script: Ancillary Task

By doing this script it has saved me time and also made our radio advert a lot better because we had a script that we could read of rather than making up our script as we went along which would have made the advert not a smooth as well as waste time in the radio studio which we couldn't afford as it is being used frequently and we only had a small half an hour slot so by writing a script we could just go in set up and then record the advert without wasting any time.

StoryBoard for first advert

We made a story board so that when we did our filming we both had a idea in our minds to what shots we wanted to get and how we wanted to set our advert out. This helped us to save time when filming. We made a short film to show the shots and planning of our first advert.

Shooting Schedule

By doing a shooting schedule I have been able to keep track of the time I had to film and by planning shoots it meant if something was wrong we had time to go out and film it again such as when we forgot the shaker for the ancillary task we didnt panic we just filmed the last 5 secocnds the next day.
