Final storyboards

Here are the scanned images of our storyboards: (if you want to see the storyboard bigger then just click on the picture :])

Advert 1 The couple and the cat
Page 1: Page 2:Page 3:

Senario: Girl thinks that boy is talking about her when he smells something 'gorgeous' but she is mistaken because he ends up picking up the cat! = Aspect of humour

We decided to have the girl with bad breath for this advert because our mint is for all sexes, therefore it is important that both the boy and girl makes use of the mint in at least one of the three adverts. We may need to tweak the dialogue in this advert because we cannot have a silent moment in the advert therefore either we add more dialogue to fill up the gaps, or we find music which will replace the dialogue when nothing is being said. This disadvantage that we could encounter when filming this, is that the cat may not do the things that we want it to do!! (however, hannah has tricks up her sleeve to make the cats do as she says! haha) We could also possibly include more shots into this storyboard if we find that it is not long enough. The advantage that we have is that we can film at Hannah's house, and because she lives near the school then thats a bonus.

Advert 2 Couple on a bench

Page 1Page 2Page 3

Senario: Couple are on a bench, fooling around. (as couples do!) The guy tries to kiss the girl but he is rejected :(

I changed this storyboard slightly by adding extra shots to make it slightly longer. I think that this will deffinetly appeal to our target audience. Humour will be creating more through the acting in this advert, meaning that we may have to make some of the acting a bit more exagerated to make it funnier. The disadvantage of this advert is that we will be filming outside therefore it will be hard to get the lighting exactly the same if we need to re-shoot. We need to be careful about the location of the bench because if we want to use the original sound, it will sound bad if all we can hear the background noise when its something like cars passing!

Advert 3 Couple meet the parents

Page 1Page 2Page 3Alternative shots

Senario: The boy is meeting his girlfriends mum for the first time, things don't go to well when she questions them about whether they use protection or not.

Humour is created in this advert mainly through the dialogue because the way the mother says the statement is something which everybody hopes never happens, however when they find out that she's reffering to mints it creates that humour. We have including quite a lot of shots in this storyboard, and had two possibilities for this idea (see alternative shots) however we decided not to use the alternative shots because this woul over complicate the whole thing. The main problem that we have with this is that we need somebody older to play the part of the mother, as if they look the same age as the couple it will look weird! Therefore we are considering asking our drama teachers if they wouldn't mind sparing some time to help us in our adverts. Also, we need to shoot outside a door for the start of this, and then we are in a living room. If we manage to get the drama teachers to help with the acting, then we will film in the drama studios meaning that we will have to have good use of mise en scene in order to ensure that it doesnt look more like a cosy living room and not a random school drama studio!
