Research: Commercial Conventions and Codes

 I am doing a Tesla commercial. Tesla does not have any commercials for themselves, so I will create one based on the lines of regular car advertising. In typical car commercials, there are shots of the vehicle in motion. - Angle shots from high and low are taken to show off the car. This allows a dramatic effect making the car look more desirable. - Voice-overs detailing the vehicle are common in many car commercials, providing a storyline. This could be used to add more information on the advertised product - Sometimes people driving inside with a family to demonstrate safety. Other times it is done to show off the nice interior. 1.

I included a drone scene that took a bit of redoing to perfect it completely. I drove around to different locations for each scene and worked around the script/storyboard. Some of the clips did not have the actor completely in the shot meaning no wardrobe change...

I learned a lot about filming from different angles and how to create a proper storyline. I look forward to my production skills growing positively. Overall, I am very proud of my first commercial!
