Many folks watch videos these days without sound on (think mobile devices), so some on screen graphics with the information would help deliver your message. Editing is nicely done, but look to mix up your shot selection. Most of these are all eye level medium shots. Add some creativity into your shots to keep the viewers engaged.

Your efforts undoubtedly contribute significantly to their fundraising endeavors, showcasing the power of media in supporting community and educational activities. The creative adaptation of the "O'Reilly's" commercial jingle demonstrates your ability to engage audiences through familiar tunes, though I advise caution to ensure that your work remains within the bounds of copyright law, especially when it comes to parodies. Your project reflects real production skills, and the compilation of shots taken throughout the semester offers a genuine glimpse into the club's activities and achievements. However, to elevate the commercial's impact and professionalism, incorporating more studio work or pre-produced content could be beneficial. This approach allows for greater control over the environment, lighting, and sound, enabling you to craft more polished and compelling visuals that align with your creative vision. In addition to the visual aspects, the auditory experience of your commercial is crucial for capturing and retaining the audience's attention. Creating a dynamic soundscape can significantly enhance the overall effect of your commercial. Here are a couple of suggestions to help you develop this area further: Custom Sound Effects: Experiment with creating your own sound effects. This can be done through simple, everyday objects or digital sound creation tools. Custom sound effects not only add uniqueness to your commercial but also allow you to tailor the sounds precisely to the visual elements, enhancing the cohesion and impact of your narrative. Dynamic Soundscape: Aim to build a more dynamic soundscape that complements the visual flow of the commercial. Consider varying the volume, tempo, and intensity of your audio tracks to match the on-screen action or mood. Layering different sounds and music tracks can also add depth to your audio, making the commercial more engaging and memorable. By focusing on these areas, you can significantly improve the quality and effectiveness of your commercials. The goal is to create a balanced and immersive experience that captivates viewers both visually and audibly, thereby supporting your club's message and fundraising goals more effectively.
