  First Scene In the first scene, I will have a bowl of cheerios dropping to the floor in slow motion. Music will be playing in the background while the camera captures the cheerios spilling everywhere and making a mess.  This scene will be filmed from two different angles in two different shots. The first shot will be a high angle shot and the second a low angle shot. Second Scene The second scene will capture the aftermath of the bowl of cheerios spilling everywhere. This shot will capture the mess that was made and that now has to be cleaned up. This will be done by using a pan shot to overlook all the cheerios on the floor. The use of zoom will also be incorporated into the scene to further point out the mess of cheerios that are on the floor. Third Scene In the third scene, the actor of the commercial will appear holding the Bissell vacuum in a heroic looking way.

  Planning Blog Props: For this commercial I will be focusing on the Bissell Zing Vacuum. Some other props I will be using also include a bowl of cereal and a rug.

On October 27, 2020, I will record all the shots and scenes I plan on having in my commercial. after that, I will also write my filming bl...

Research Blog: Commercial Conventions       I decided to do a Bissell Vacuum commercial. These types of commercials usually take place within what would be considered a typical household and feature the vacuum while in action. These commercials usually include shots of the vacuum in use on different surfaces. These different surfaces  include  surfaces like tile, wood, and carpet. Props for these types of commercials often include spilled items such as a cereal, pet food, etc. These commercials also many times use samples of a certain type of flooring. For example, a sample piece of carpet that isn't necessarily installed. Many of these commercials also include a shot of someone trying to use other vacuum cleaners that are not their brand and struggling with it. This further emphasizes to the audience that their vacuum is better than the average vacuum from their competitors. Many commercials about vacuums include a scene in which someone makes a mess or spills ...
