• Part of my take on a Drug commercial
    20 replies, posted
Im applying for a drug commercial, they were very especific about this part so this is my take. I need my own idea for some 1:30 extra minutes though, but i know what i will do. the actor is my theather teacher. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnDZ6aX4hMg[/media] to be honest is generic bullshit, but still, any thoughts?
I think your theater teacher is a very handsome man.

I have to ask, why would you create a piece of art with a message you don't agree with?

The lightning and camera are pretty good.

Whilst the camera work was very good and the cuts and sequencing was very abrupt and jolting (that's a good thing in the context of the trailer) The rough text which bounced around felt out of place and made it look a tad on the "edgy" side, Far to much like those "pirating stuff is bad" adverts used here in the uk which just made you laugh. I feel that a faded in adult font presented in a bold manner with a bit of VHS distortion as it appears in time with the flickering of the sound, A bit like what you see in some cheesy horror commercials, would have felt more appropriate to the message. Kind of like this, but obviously in monochrome and in motion. [img]http://i.imgur.com/1K9yxPQ.jpg[/img] I guess an example would be the way the EA and DICE logo appear at the start of every battlefield 3 commercial. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1C2JSqNRxs[/media] Or just simple faded in text when it goes all silent, the moving teared out font seems out of place when its silent. Overall though, I liked it though, I'm just voicing my opinion of a very small part of it as the rest of it was superb. Just I would have changed the way the text was presented.

concept is good, but the acting has to be improved.
The text could use some sound effects if it is portrayed like that (swooshing in, moving around) Personally I would like the text to be still with a less silly font (like that guy mentioned above; it reminded me of those silly anti-pirating commercials). [editline]7th February 2013[/editline] Also, the acting is good, but you should fade out with the shot at 0:20, imo. Otherwise he looks sorta crazy in a bad way with that other shot, maybe
will do!
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSygTW1UKoA&feature=youtu.be[/media] maybe do something like this. It's simpler and doesn't scream at you. I think it should end calmly considering it's an anti-abuse video. you wouldn't want the viewer to feel like the craziness continues, or something (that's what I felt like anyway). [editline]7th February 2013[/editline] also the font i chose is just an example (i hate it personally) but something similar to that
thanks for the advice, maybe you are right
Maybe even add a ringing sound at the end (sort of like an explosion just set off) when the screaming stops that fades out with the text.
