Think about your cast and who you need

You will present your commercial to the rest of the class in a video format.

There is video editing programs on your MAC (iMovie, some my not have this) there is also Adobe Premiere on the iMacs in the computer Lab.

I am NOT looking for a perfect product - but, I'm looking for creativity. Your job is to get this to a point that you can sell it to the client. The with a budget you will be able to produce the commercial.

If you need to make a product for the commercial - create it.

MOST OF ALL - If you need help PLEASE ASK! This project is ment to be different. More than just paper and printing. Use you imagination and creativity to complete this.
