Screen shot.

I was thinking about what to put up for my screen shot.   but last minute I decided to change my mind on the direction for the commercial.   I think with the product I am going to do an infomercial type.
     I am taking a series of pictures and going to be transitioning from shot to shot.   With me talking in the background.   Simple.   Making it to complicated will, in my opinion confuse people with the product.

    Below are the pictures I will be using.  







All of these photos will be photoshopped.

Storyboard




Apologizing for my extremely horrible art work!    I decided that I wanted to keep it simple, where there is a good understanding of what I am trying to explain and sell.   I want it to be kind of corny, and over the top.  

--  It starts off with a man sitting in front of his computer with bills in his hands.   His face obviously shows that he is upset about it.  -- there will be a voice over throughout the entire thing.
--- Then it goes to a shot of him standing next to a table saying how he needs help, that he is over spending.

--   THen it shoots to him trying to get onto a shopping website and it is locked.   He has a confused look on his face.
--  The next shot will be an explanation of the product and what it does.

-  and the final scene will be him standing happy with thumbs up and some cash in his hand, because he isnt broke.


Again, I want it to be simple, not too complex but get to the point of what the product is.   I guess you can look at it as an infomercial.
