The audience usually sees people walking around the store or enjoying the music from the records.   - I ncludes colorful visuals/graphics (often sticking to one specific Triadic/ complementary color scheme ex: red, blue, yellow)   - M ost of these commercials took place in the ’90s and can be described as” vintage ”   - T here is a very upbeat moo d/ setting.   - T here are voiceovers and music in the background most of the time   - P rops include records, cassettes, CDs , turn tables , and sometimes instruments and posters.

 Props Since our commercial will be based on a record store, the central prop for our commercial will be vinyl, or anything that can be normally found within a record store, such as turn tables, CDs, and other music related items.

How did your production skills develop throughout this project?  This project helped me develop my filming skills since I was m...
