Sorry, I need some help again! D:

 

 

Hey, sorry to bother you guys, but I really need some inspiration right now. ;A;

Anyone who can lend me a hand?

Recently I have this assignment whereby I have to create a TV commercial. The duration of this commercial is 30-60 seconds long. I can choose any product or brand as long as I change the name of the brand. Like Macdonalds to Racdonalds or something. My teacher wants it to be more of humor-based, because he believes that 'comedic' advertisements are what really catches people, which is true, so we have to think of something in that aspect.

But, kid you not, I can't think of anything and I'm not even kidding. I've watched countless advertisements hoping to get an idea, but I can't break free from an idea that has already been used. It's like, I can't use the idea behind the videos as an inspiration of my own. I can't tweak it.

It's really frustrating. I need to pitch my idea for the commercial tomorrow, and I'm grappling now. Can you believe it? I'm graded for this! D:

But it constitutes 5 marks to the general score so it's not THAT important, but 5 marks is the difference from one grade to the next so I need to try my best, too. OTL

 

Right now, the concept I have in mind is to use a tagline of a particular product or brand and then do a 'parody' video.

I saw videos like this and thought it would be a pretty good direction to work in, just that right now I still have nothing.

Like, you know, KFC's tagline is/was, "finger in' good!' or something. So yeah, in the video maybe an exaggeration of 'finger in' good' like the person 'eating his hands' or something, then at last I flash RFC logo or something, LOL.

 

It's fine if you can't think of anything, because this is really hard, I know.

I'm just gambling for the chance that you know, someone out there has an idea that I can take into consideration. ^^v Because till the end I know it's still up to me since it's my own assignment.

Please note that I actually might have to do the idea I pitch (my teacher is going to pick the best 4 ideas for us to work on in groups) so try not to suggest something that's really hard to take like action scenes and stuff.

I don't need people to tell me exactly what to do for the whole video, I just need a brief concept.

Still, thanks a lot if you bothered to read this! :DD That really makes me happy.

Well, generally the basis of an advertisement is to make the audience want to get something. To understand the audience's desires, to make them want to buy something. I don't think it definitely has to be humor. But for humor, something unexpected is certainly nice.

Good luck!! :D

I think the RFC idea is good tbh!
Hmmmm.

My brother was saying Macdonalds. Since the catch phrase is 'I'm loving it', you could make this guy like obsessed with the burger. Like seriously obsessed.

Or........................................................
