direction-embellishes the story board,
notice how everything that is accomplished in communication related carrers is done as a member of a team,
music, little less expected, novely, a beautiful melody, looks like a little overkill to me, tailor the music to the picture, strenghten the picture as much as we can, tone timber, and ptich of the voice is not left to creative whim, hteh want a intelligence, soft-spoken voice-all strategtic decisions
selection of an advertising agency important-have to listen to the expert advice

JELLO
General Foods
health realted advertsing for Jello
research-get epople to talk oepndly and honestly about your product
give jello a contemporary spin, focus on health,
probe focus groups, collect data, analyze research
don't want to conflict with existing advertising, will this jeopardie our current positioning, our main positioning message is that jello is a fun desert and you can share your childrens's childhood,
may conflict with no fat no cholestero, man conflict with fun, hard sell vs soft sell,
the cholesteroal approach,- tested on focus groups, which is more meaningful, more creidble, most consistent with the jello personality, products have personality, I wonder what kind of personality a rectal supoository has, how would you like to lead a ad team tiven the chanellenge of desiging ads for a rectal suppository, oh no back to the video
may be opporutnity to attract new customers, research in focus groups, target one specific targe audiences, rather than appealing to general audience,
no fat no cholesteral message, attitudinal change we are trying to effect, start with campaing that is focused on making public aware of beneifts, keey the message focused, don't blend to many different approaches
generate potential print ads
present them to client
initial campiangs
cleints-visual jello needs to domainte the add, antoehr execution back to the drawing board, jello long realtionship with the advertising agency, almost like a marriage for over 60 years, alwasys, conflict, always work, revising and rethinking
entirely new approach prepared two wekks letter
one line-this little kid has high chosleteral, this little kid has none
reall direct, and real simple
the magic words-take it into production-the creative idea is frozen, now move into production
the simplier the add, the harder it is to film
ad may be simple in concept, but difficult to execture in creative, prodctions
three weeks later the add is ready
2 simple images
20 words of copy
"good advertising flows from good products", try to develop product people want and like, than advertising it effectively
Coca-Cola Classsic
goal-coke is part of summer like nothin else
new to do something new
lets do it, why, never been done before, starts as a whim
science fiction- 2 people from outer space
spot about alients coming to visit the earth, create a felling for summers, and make a statement about the brand, the summers, the beac h, fun, this is our territory, it becomong to cocaa-cola
being with storyboarding-
meet with creative production people to coordinate
they seems themselves as officers in the cola ware, if this is war, strategiy and tactical decisions, everyone has a job and knows exactly how to do it, once again the important of the team,
don't become too artsy, this is business propositions rather than an artistic creation, it is the clients commerisal, not the creative production's people's commerical,
The Shoot
alients studying humans in an ethnographic way,
Film In Can
Go To Editing Room
Create Impression Of Single Sequence
Gap between storyborach and rough cut
how the heel did they do that, sounds like a creative person driving the commerial, rather than the client/product people
not quite like anything
client-disapointed of the the clarity of point of view, translanting strategy into commerical ideas is a unique skill, have to be preparted that it might not work, prepared to take risksh, and preatpted not to succedd 100 % of the time
good
quick
resislent
ideas get killed by the dozen
for every idea you see on teleivsion there is two dozen in a waste paper basket, that wree just has good and maybe better.
