Here is what you will need to produce, be sure to read the requirements and follow the samples for each item:

The Website: You can use Google Sites to create a decent website that will also look good on a mobile device. If you are not sure who to create a Google Site, look up "Website Wrap Up" on my site for instructions.
The design of your site is up to you, but your website needs to have the following PAGES (see some sample example links below):
Pages Your Website will Need
Product Introduction/How it works page (include your infomercial)
Product Pictures/Designs/Sketches
About The Company & You The Inventor
Customer Testimonials (need two)
Free Website Builders: You are free to experiment with some online website builders. Some may ask you to register your email, which is ok, but don't pay for anything, there are plenty of free services available. You can also just use Google Sites.

The Commercial:
1. Story Board: BEFORE you start any filming you will need to show me your Story Board. (see example).
I NEED TO SEE YOUR STORYBOARD BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM!!!!
The point of this is to help you think things through and have a plan before you start wasting time filming stuff you won't need. Your commercial will need to have 4 different scenes (see story board example).
For each scene in your storyboard, have an image representing your ideas and then briefly describe what the audience is seeing, hearing etc..
2. Filming The Commercial: You will film your commercial your Chrome Books. You will need to use Green Screen. Be sure to get HD quality images from Google for your backgrounds.
Think about what props will help you in presenting your product to the audience. If you don't have a physical prototype, then you will need to use sketches and imagery to represent your product between your video shots; this will be done in WeVideo.
Commercial Requirements
1. Four different Scenes (approx 15 seconds, for a 1-minute commercial)
2. Complimentary background music (not distracting)
3. Call to Action (someway for people to buy your product).
4. Use a Green Screen
5. Edit using WeVideo
