This month’s activity comes from the Silver Level. We’ll be focusing on Activity 4: Celebrate FBLA-ML from the category Leadership: Team Impact.
This activity asks you to “Work in a team to create a 30-second promotional commercial advertising your chapter’s plans for American Enterprise Day or FBLA-PBL Week. Play it at a local chapter meeting. (Save a copy the commercial).” Linked is information about both events.
This is an activity that you can have fun with! Grab some friends who are also members to be your production team and start bounding around ideas! Once you have your ideas, there are a few steps to completing this task:
- Create your script/storyboard- this project will be easy once you have a plan. Hash out all the details in this step regarding what is going to happen in the 30-second film.
- Pick a set- The space you record in needs to be related to the story happening in your film. Pick a place with good lighting and relevance to your message.
- Make sure your camera is ready to go- The most frustrating thing that can happen when filming is have your camera die on you or your memory card become full halfway through. being over prepared is better than being caught in the middle.
- Go for it!- This is when you get to put all your work into action. Have fun with it, and be proud of what you have done! Set aside enough time so you don’t feel rushed. Make sure you have time to edit, and show it off!
This activity is probably one of the most time consuming, but it is one of the most fun activities there is. Put in the work, and you will be proud of the result. Show off your work, and be recognized for what you create!
