Creating Commercials

As we begin our next project, your blog assignment for the week is to spend some time studying commercials and the process of creating them.
Read a little at this site: http://advertisingprinciples.com/creating.html
And then read #4 and #5 on this site: http://www.entrepreneur.com/advertising/adsbytype/tvads/article168390.html

Finally, your REAL assignment:
Watch 1 hour of TV. Tell what channel, what time, and list all the commercials that you saw in that hour. Be thinking of techniques that you think would work in your commercial.

Well on FX at 9 till 10 o'clock last night i watched part of x-men 2, and while i watched this movie i noticed a lot of commercials for other shows on that channel. I notices one would show a black screen with some text and then an action shot, which was pretty cool. I don't remember exacts but i do remember a lot for other shows and one of the whole station, you know the one that says fx has the movies and a bunch of short clips from a bunch of different movies

Many of the commercials I saw were very funny; is cutsey the theme lately? Almost every commercial had some sort of funny guy singing a song, or some cute little animated character. Other than that, catch phrases are big. Also, simple shots, but high impact and lots of effects.
