Commercial Treatment

You will write a detailed treatment to the coach or advisor of your club/activity/sport you have chosen to make a commercial for (this is a terrible sentence). You will also send me a copy (CC) of this email.

List of advisors:
http://schools.shorelineschools.org/shorecrest/asb/index.php#list

Treatment questions you must answer in COMPLETE sentences.

What group have you selected as your subject?
Why did you select this group and why do you think you can make an interesting commercial for this group?
What is your original concept? How are you going to SELL your subject?
What will your tag line be? It needs to be something catchy and memorable.
What kind of music will you use in the background?
Do you need to schedule time to shoot with the coach or advisor? If so, ask permission in your email.

Remember to send me a copy of the email. This is due today.
