Things that Sing

What do we need?
Household items, fishing line, goo-goo eyes, glue, camera, laptop, and music

How do we do it?
We are going to glue goo-goo eyes onto some objects and tie some fishing line on top of the head. Then we will record each object to move it's 'mouth' and sing to the tune we choose.

Script Write

Effect - Camera will begin in a head shot, then zoom out. It will then switch from scene to scene as a full body shot.

Location - Anthony Elementary

Description - Driving down the street and when the male character gets a text message which enrages him while he is driving, he wheels his tricycle off to the side and hits another tricycle.

Dialog with Description:

Man pretending to be a Teenage Girl: (Text Message Alert Rings) I'm a teenage girl. Man rides down the street while repeating his lines to the camera. This will be a head shot at first, to hide to fact that he's riding a tricycle. My Bff Becky txts me that she's kissed Johnny. He then gets a text message and proceeds with his lines.Well that's a problem because, I like Johnny. Now I'm emotionally compromising. Whoopsies. After reading the message, he crashes into another tricycle out of rage. Then the owner of the tricycle (woman) comes up with a few grocery bags and sees the damage. The man driver is shown again speaking into the camera then winks. OMG Becky's not even hot. And if you've got cut rate insurance you could be paying for this yourself. So get Allstate you could save money and be better protected from mayhem like me (wink).

Then a poster flashes in front of the camera with the Allstate logo, name, and information. Then the narrator speaks and the commercial ends.

Narrator: Dollar per dollar nobody protects you from mayhem like Allstate.

Commercial Keeps and Changes

Keeping: We're going to try to keep the same basic script, but probably change a couple words. We're keeping the same idea of the character.

Changing: Instead of being in a vehicle, the character will be driving a tricycle. We're changing the scenery from a parking lot to something convenient to us.

Commercial Alter

Melissa Avila and Aliya Hernandez

We'll be altering the Allstate commercial of "Teenage Girl on a Rampage" to "Wee Toddler on a Tantrum."
We'll be changing from a teenage girl driving a pink car to a small child riding a tricycle.

Favorite Commercial: Cheetos - Piano

Why did you pick this commercial?
I picked this commercial because I find it very entertaining to watch. I think whoever watches this commercial would agree with me.
What are the important parts of the commercial?
The important parts of the commercial are when the Cheetos Cheetah is playing on the piano. He and this piano sales lady are playing a five second tune over and over again. This repeating annoys another sales man who is eating cheetos. He then asks them, "Don't you know any other songs?" And what do they do in response? They play the same tune, in a higher tone.

What I'd Like To Do Someday

If there was one thing I would like to do someday in my future, is probably travel to some parts in the world I have only dreamed of visiting. I'd like to go to Egypt and see the pyramids and giant Sphinx. I wish to visit England to see Big Ben and maybe get a glance of the queen. Europe in general has always been a tourist spot for me. I want to visit Canada because a friend, may he rest in peace, said that Vancouver is one of the most flourish and green places in North America. The weather there is nice and cold, and I love that type of cloudy weather. I would also visit Washington, just because it's weather and climate would at least be close to that of Vancouver, if for some reason I couldn't visit Canada. Boston would also be on my list because I would love to have floor seats to a Boston Celtics game. There are too many places I'd like to visit, and hopefully I'll get to see at least these places, if I get a good job that would be able to afford these trips.
