- FILM!: Create a 2 minute infomercial including most if not all the elements we talked about in class : problem, your solution (product), how to use it/explain why it’s useful, testimonials (why do other people like it? You can use as many actors as you want, but you MUST be in it!), how to order, free gift?, finish strong with the main reason to buy it.
- CHECK: lighting (is your video bright enough? Can we clearly see you and the product?) sound (is it loud and clear enough? If you want to sell your product we need to hear you! Make sure there is no loud background noise!) key words (EX: Order now!). Music? Color? Background?
