Storyboarding...

Like I said in the last post, me and hannah have been discussing ideas for a new and improved storyboard. We were half way through completing the drawing up of advert 3, so i took the responsibility to take it home and finish it, whislt hannah took the responsibility to draw up advert 1 which we also discussed. All these will be ready to be shown next lesson :]

The two adverts which we decided to change are now as follows: (basic/main outline of what happens)

Advert 1: Couple meeting at house
-Girl is holding an animal, preferably a cat.
-Couple are talking, and boy smells something nice
-Boy goes down on his knees and says 'you smell gorgeous'
-Girl is flattered, flicks her hair, thinking the boy is talking to her
-Boy picks up and strokes cat and talks to it. 'I can't beleive how good you smell. you're so sweet'
-Girl is in a huff. She notices she has bad breath
-Either the girl says/voiceover where she takes mint
-'Shake click fresh ahh' she has fresh breath
-Boy ends up complimenting her
-End screen (showing mints once again)

Advert 2: Couple at the park on bench
(see outline of this advert in older post)

Advert 3:Couple meet the parents
-Couple approach the house, boy is nervous about meeting his girlfriends mum
-Couple ring doorbell and adjust themselves as they wait for door to be answered
-Mother lets them in and greets her daughter with a hug
-Everybody goes in for a hug = awkward moment.
-Everybody laughs it off and girl introduced her boyfriend to her mother
-Mother happily greets him, but as they hug she smells his bad breath and holds her nose.
-Walking off and fanning her face, the mother blurts out a comment 'Do you guys use protection?'
-Couple feel aukward thinking that she is reffering to something which should not be talked about! and they exchange awkward faces
-Mother then says 'Mints that protect against bad breath...'
'Couple are relieved then it goes on to 'shake click fresh ahhh'
-End screen (showing mints once again)


At the moment im a bit worried about advert 3 as it seems a bit long winded, but we will see.

Overall, we want to create humour in our adverts as this makes audience's remember it more. Also, i think that the mint adverts that I have watched are more effective when they add humour. I also think that the adverts will relate to our target audience through the humour and the use of a couple.
