Creating a funny and engaging commercial that resonates with viewers is a significant achievement, as humor can be a powerful tool in making a product memorable and appealing. Your ability to craft an overall idea that captures the essence of the brand while entertaining the audience is commendable. Your acknowledgment of the need for technical refinement, particularly in terms of shot composition, is an important step toward elevating the quality of your work. Ensuring that each shot is not only thought out but also contributes meaningfully to the narrative and product presentation is crucial for a polished and professional outcome. Here are some suggestions to enhance the composition and overall technical execution of your commercials: Plan Your Shots in Advance: Before filming, take the time to storyboard or plan each shot meticulously. Consider the role of each shot in the narrative, how it contributes to the product's portrayal, and what emotions or reactions you aim to evoke. This planning phase can help ensure that every shot is purposeful and enhances the commercial's message. Focus on Composition Principles: Revisit the principles of composition, such as the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing, to create more visually compelling shots. Applying these principles can add depth to your visuals, guide the viewer's attention, and make each shot more aesthetically pleasing and effective. Ensure Consistency in Visual Style: Aim for a consistent visual style throughout the commercial. This includes maintaining a uniform color palette, lighting scheme, and shot type consistency. A cohesive visual style can significantly enhance the commercial's professional appearance and brand identity. Experiment with Different Angles and Perspectives: Don't be afraid to experiment with various angles and perspectives to find the most engaging way to present the product. Unique and creative shots can captivate viewers and provide fresh insights into the product's features and benefits.
