Invention Commercial

Hello Internet! It is me again (Kasiah Vercelli if your new here and/or didn't read the blog tile :) with a new blog post all about the project we just finished "Invention Commercial". On my team I had Maddie and Kyler who I have both worked with before. In this assignment we had to come up with an invention that solved a common problem and then make a commercial about it. I think it was a really fun project. Enjoy reading everybody!

When we were doing this assignment, my team and I focused mainly on getting the audience to fully understand what the invention does. I think we communicated that really well and got our point across. Our product was called the Stick-It Bowl and was an attachment that would keep your bowls on tables/trays. We needed to solve a common problem and let's be honest, there is never going to a cure for klutzy-ness. So we made the Stick-It Bowl (this item is not available for retail sale ;).

During this production, our best "team moment" was probably when we all agreed on what problem we would choose to solve with our product. We were having a lot of trouble choosing and coming to a conclusion that would appease everyone. So when we finally came together and decided on the Stick-It Bowl, it was a cool moment. Also our idea ended up being a really fun one to talk about and film so we made the right choice. I think we all felt good about the way it turned out and liked the idea.

When we were doing the post production editing we all switched off with what jobs we did. Kyler, Maddie, and I all like to edit so we took turns everyday. We tried to make everyone happy when making our decisions and when we didn't, we would try to form a compromise. Sometimes it is really difficult to work in a team, but it eases the workload and (usually) gives everyone a fair share of things they need to do. It also makes it easier if you have a problem you can't solve by yourself because then you can have multiple opinions and solve said problem faster.
