Week Summary
For our first day, we decided to discuss what product we want to use for the TV Advert Project from the delivered
Unilever Re-branding presentation. For this day, we didn’t encounter any problem as we only discuss which product we
wanted to use. Also, we started planning roughly our schedule for the whole production process to make sure everything
goes well as intended, as well as allocated pre-production paperwork to everyone. Lastly, we roughly planned our shot list
ready to be finalised the week after.

Week Summary
We planned to do everything in a one-week window, which we thought was doable. However, the editing process took as
another week or two to finish. It wasn’t much of a problem as we are up-to-date to everything. It didn’t run to deadline
date, as the deadline would be at the end of the month. We are confident to finish the whole work done before the
deadline.
We didn’t encounter any problem when we started filming the production, however, we did amend a couple of things such
as the using the dining hall instead of the living room. It wasn’t a problem; it was a quick decision to make on the day.
However, we would try to avoid unplanned actions because we might encounter situations that could lead to slowing
down our production work or such. Overall, the week has gone smoothly with little to less problem.

Initial Ideas
Synopsis: The main character ‘Maia’ sits with her friends in the living room (Mid Shot – from behind the sofa)*, all looking
bored (Dolly from left to right – to show bored expression). Maia rises from the sofa and heads into the kitchen** (tracking
shot from behind), she retrieves a Magnum box from the freezer (Cut-in shot to the freezer and the Magnum box). From
the moment she opens the fridge, Maia hears faint music coming from somewhere, as she opens the freezer the music gets
louder, confused (Extreme close-up to Maia’s eyes to show confusion), she closes the fridge and the music turns back being
faint. She repeats the process of opening the fridge (camera inside the fridge), which she gets the same outcome.
Maia takes the Magnum box from the fridge and the beat stays sound-levelled (Mid Shot). She takes the Magnum box
back to the living room to share with her friends (Tracking shot), as they open the box the music gradually gets louder and
when they finally open the packaging of the Magnum ice cream (Close up to the ice cream), the music burst into festive-
music and the friends***, as well as Maia starts having more fun rather than being bored.
Note: (camera direction), * - read amendments below.
Amendments:
* We used the dining room instead of the living room (Medium Shot) focusing on the group of friends who are busy using
their own phones and not communication.
** Instead of Maia coming from the living room, we placed the camera inside the fridge, therefore, it’s pitch black until she
opens the fridge. From inside the fridge, she stands in front as she opens the fridge (Mid shot and the changes angle to
show the fridge. Using the same shot she sits back down.
*** The shot came in the position where we started in.
