Science Commercials

What makes a good commercial?
They're informative, eye catching, short and to the point. Sometimes they are surprising, or funny. Most of all, they're memorable.

Your mission is to create a series of commercials about Newton's Laws and the Universal Law of Gravitation. Each commercial must meet the following requirements:
  • between 30 and 45 seconds in length
  • be created in iMovie and eventually hosted on your blog
  • have a title slide including your FIRST name and your law
  • use at least one transition
  • include a narration
  • utilize a prop, either through video capture or imported from the web (ie still image or video clip)
  • include credits, where appropriate
Before you start creating your commercial on iMovie, you must complete a storyboard (like an outline). You might consider using Comic Life to do this. We will have a couple of class days to work on our commercials. Today you should focus on getting your storyboards!
