This is a video I created, as an afterthought, from an assignment in my Oral Communications class at New England Institute of Technology.
The assignment was a 4-5 minute commercial, of an imaginary product or service, following two sets of rules which make up an effective advertisement: Monroe's Motivated Sequence (attention, need, satisfaction, visualization, action); and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (physical, safety, belonging, esteem, self-actualization).
We were to deliver this fake ad in front of the classroom. The original lasted a full 5 minutes, but for the sake of the short-attention-span folks who typically roam the internet, I've reduced it to 4 minutes.
The script, the placards with the images of the people, the sock puppet, and the flashing pen were all used in the live presentation. The music is public domain from Muse Open.
