Planning Blog for FLHS Commercial

      Today my group partners and I planned an outline out for the final product of our commercial for the school. The commercial will start with a stalk shot giving an overview of Fort Lauderdale High for the viewers to see how our school looks. Our commercial will include props, costumes, and different locations. We planned our film today in order to decide what to use for each of these categories. Planning is important because it allows you to focus on everything you want to mention/include in your project efficiently so that when the time comes we won’t forget anything in the actual product. We also discussed our schedule and back-up plan for what we are working on. This is important to ensure that we don’t make any mistakes and makes our filming process a little more organized. If we did not make a backup plan, if something were to occur that interferes with our idea and we didn’t think of something ahead of time that would be hard to come back from since we would need a new plan.

• Props: School IDs, Backpacks, Food (Emphasizes that we are on school campus)
• Costumes: FLHS merchandise, Blue/Black/White clothes, Blue accessories, Blue and White face paint (School spirit)
• Schedule: 10/10 - Planning our commercial 10/14 - Storyboarding with our ideas 10/22 - Filming day 10/24 - Editing commercial to revise mistakes 
• Location List : Fort Lauderdale High School - Building 5 Stair case, Senior Patio, and Bus loop (Shows a variety of places located on our campus) 
• Back-up Plan : If it rains, instead of filming at the senior patio we will film at the picnic tables outside of the cafeteria. We will extend the scene at the stair case instead of the bus loop as well. If someone in the group is absent we will instead use another student that is in our class.
