Ideas for location of filming advertisement
As part of a task set for our group, me and Amber went around the school looking for potential classrooms to film our advertisemnt of the chest of drawers.

Whilst out looking around the school for rooms that would be a good place to film in, we had each 2 sheets to fill in. We had to check the lighting is suitable and if there are any safety objects that could make the room unsuitable to film in. This is called the recce. We came across these and shortlisted these rooms for the filming to take place in them.

- Classroom
- SDC
- Library
- Drama studio
- Atrium
- Study room
Then we completed a risk assesment form for each room and wrote down what we need to consider for filming in each room.
Things to consider when in locations. (RECCE)
- Lighting
- Avaliability
- Health and safety
- Getting permission
- Hazards
- Suitability
- Sound
- A second plan
- Repeat visits to check.
Working title and Product description.
In our group consisting of Amber, Elliot, Rianna and myself, we had the option to chose between two products to advertise for our advert we have to make. Those options were a chest of drawers and a saddle testing seat. Our group chose the drawers. We came up with this decision because we all agreed that they would be wanted by a larger audience as nearly every household in the UK have drawers, so our advert will be more successful because everyone may need drawers. Also the drawers that Steven designed look new, fresh and modern and this fact will help sell the product because it will appeal.

This is a picture of the chest of drawers our group is going to advertise.
Project name; Our group have decided to call the chest of drawers we are advertising, Blockmiester drawers.
Product Description; The chest of drawers are a brand new, hand made, shiny and white product that features one main drawer where you can put items in. On top of the drawers there is also space to store items on. For example a woman/ teenage girl would put their make-up and Mirror etc on top. Other examples you can put on the drawers are lamps or a laptop. The drawers contain a long, slim silver handle to open them up with, and it will be easier because the handle will be easy to grip. These drawers would fit in well with a house and look suitable for a living room / bedroom. A bad factor of the product taking up a lot of space could make it decrease the amount of potential customers for the product because they may feel put off it takes up alot of the room.
The reason why our group choose this product to advertise was because it looks appealing and is something that people would be interested in buying as it is a vital object in nearly all homes around the world. The design would suggest that it was produced for the use of teenagers and young adults. This is because it doesn't look as if an older age group would find this interesting.
