Storyboard Blog

Today, we finally managed to complete the storyboard for a
Gatorade commercial, a step that will ultimately make the filming
process much easier. Storyboarding was quite the group experience.
Coming together and allowing our creative juices to flow from our
minds, intertwining with one another and spawning even more ideas,
resulted in what we saw as the best path to take for this project. In a nutshell,
our commercial will go as follows: The commercial will begin with a
full Gatorade bottle displayed on the screen placed on the field of grass
and and instrumental music will start playing. For our score we decided to
use the song “Hot” by Young Thug as it coincided with our vision for the
commercial. Then, it will transition to 3 different scenes, each carrying a
dull, dim atmosphere. This works to give the impression that the individuals
in the scenes are tired, completely deprived of the energy and unable to carry
out the tasks at hand. With this, slow transitions will be used in order to have
the effect of the sluggishness that our actors will have. Transitions like slow
pans and slow tilts. This develops the idea of a problem, which Gatorade will
soon provide a solution. After this, each actor will take sips of Gatorade and
this will be shown in a three-way split screen. The colors would change to a
more vibrant setting and the music will be at a more up-beat tempo. Then, the
same tasks that were attempted before will be attempted again, but performed
better, illustrating the ‘liquid power’ of the Gatorade. As typical conventions
used in Gatorade commercial, faster transitions and dynamic shots will be used
in order to get the attention of the audience. To end the commercial, an empty
Gatorade bottle will be placed on the same field at the same spot.
