Media/Movie Making - Insurance Commercial Unit

  • Instructions: The insurance companies have created some of the most memorable commercials of all time. Their loveable mascots, catchy jingles, dry humor and cinematic story-telling make them something people actually stop and watch in an age where nobody needs to. Understanding how to edit creative and clever ideas using optimal camera angles and special effects is essential to this genre in particular and to movie making making in general. Assignments have students making movies, but alternative assignments are provided for those without the technology to do so.
