Commercial Experience

Well some of you may know I have been talking about the Lip Fruit commercial and how I have been practising. Well on Thursday we had had presentations and I was sort of nervous and I was trying to take a deep breath and calm down after I did that I felt ready. But then I heard that the order for the presentation and it was starting from the bottom up and I was so upset because that meant I was going up first. That's when I started to get nervous again because I have to go second and iI like to watch other peoples performances so I get a feel of things. When I was talking to Eshe and telling her that I don't feel ready she told me come on I know you can do this. When she told me that I felt all better. Now it was my turn to present in front of my class. I don't know what happened but what i practised at home i couldn't deliver to the audience and that's what made me upset, I think my nerves got the best of me. I was even more shocked that i got a level 5.

Now that I was done and finished with my presentation for the commercial I was able to watch other people in my class present what they have been practising for a week. As I was sitting down and watching I would notice that Mrs. Thomas would stop the other performances and help them out a little to show them what they could do better and what they can improve on. When she was doing that I felt like I was at a real audition and she was the casting director. For the commercials there were three that stood out to me the most and they were Eshe, Celeste and Schanelle Campbell.  Eshe commercial was very believable she had an excellent costume because she was advertising a brand called “Pink” so she was dressed in all pink, and just the way she delivered her commercial was really good to.  I really liked Celeste performance because she didn’t show that she was nervous and I like the way she presented her commercial because it had a lot of attitude and it was fierce. For schanelle’s commercial I thought it suited her very well the way she did it looked like she had a lot of experience with the camera.

When I went home I told my mom how the commercial presentations went and how I felt about mine and what I could have done better. But I was really mad at myself because when I went home I did my commercial in front of the mirror with more action and I wish I would have done that in front of my class.
