1 -15 second spot and 1 -30 second spot. (First show)
1- 15 second spot and 1 30 OR 45 second spot in the SEQUEL

8 commercials total for both shows

-Limit your show to two types of transitions
-A voice over must appear in the first show
-You must use two tutorials in each show....These must be indicated in each script
-A list of all music must be turned in
-You may have two outtakes in each show....not required.
(The rest will be filmed in the studio)

-You must assign a position to ALL members of the class.
**May I suggest selecting carefully...You will be graded on the production...so, if your directors don't have a clue, your grade will reflect their abilities.

-There must be a pre-production meeting with entire staff. Inform camera people, graphics, studio people, directors, etc. of their jobs and the particulars of the production being shot.
_EVERYONE MUST HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR SHOW, SHOOTING FORMAT AND PARTICULARS.
