  Slide 1: The first shot is of an eye level shot on the main actor. He has an anxious look on his face as if he is waiting for the bell to ring, his eyes focused on the clock. The sound of the ticking clock ringing in his ear. The actor is wearing a gray Nike hoodie. As this scene ends with the camera starting to pan down. Slide 2: The camera pans down to see the tapping of the main actor's foot. He is wearing black shorts and his white Nike shoes. With the Nike logo being the most obvious in this shot. His anxiousness is really shown here with the fast tapping of his foot, with a close up shot. The rapid tapping of his foot and the clock still ticking are the most prominent sounds.  Slide 3: The shot will zoom in slowly on the clock. It will emphasize the ticking waiting for it to ring. Each tick will take a second so there will be a total of 2-3 before the bell rings. Cue the bell ring at 1 o clock. When it rings, the music will come in. This will lead into the cut to slide 4.

  Our group will be doing a Nike commercial. Typically these commercials follow multiple people ranging from average joes to famous athletes partaking in some physical activity. The costumes they wear are Nike branded apparel whether it be shorts, windbreakers, tennis shoes, sports bras, or headbands. Many of the props used were sporting equipment, specifically basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, towels, water bottles, or gloves.  Almost always the actors are fit and drenched in sweat or more accurately spritzed with water right before the shot was taken. It's almost mandatory for a Nike commercial to have a slogan at either the start or beginning with their most iconic one being “Just Do It” The theme throughout these commercials are fast pace action with exhilarating music to make the audience excited and motivate them to get out there and “Just Do It” Nike commercials connect to the masses by showing world-class athletes or famous figures using the product that the average per

      For the commercial project, I will be working with Zack Zimmerman and Luke Mehroff. I have known both of them since sixth grade. We were put in advanced placement. Throughout the three years we were in the same classes. Because of this,  I got to know them individually throughout our time together in junior high. I've worked with Zack on multiple projects and we have always worked really well with each other. We both are very creative thinkers, and our assignments usually turn out really well. He is more extraverted whereas I'm a lot more shy. It's a perfect balance where I can work behind the scenes while he can be the forefront of the acting. Although I have less experience working with Luke, I have no doubt that our working environment with be very productive. Zack's natural charisma will prove him to be a good subject/main character for the commercial. My creative thinking and recording knowledge/skills will allow me to be the camera man and director.

    My name is Bliss DeServio. I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I'm really looking forward to Media Studies and the projects that come with the class. I have always had a love for movies and TV shows as well as the process of how they come together. A couple years ago I wanted to be a script writer but I never pursued it realistically.  I'm torn between my love for literature and equations.  Math has always been my strong suit, but reading is my favorite hobby. As of now, I want to have a career in either accounting or publishing. My favorite genre, whether it be through a screen or on a page, will always be romance. Even when I was little, I was always swept up in the magical feeling of falling in love presented in fiction. One day I hope to experience the love I have looked up to for so long, if only I wasn't so busy. My time is split up between school, marching band, and spending time with the people I care about. I've had a love for music my entire life
