Script

For this task we had to make our own product and try to sell it through making a product, before we could start making our commercial we first had to make a script to describe what we’ll do and say in our video so that’s what I wrote just below here.

For my commercial I won’t be filming anything, I’ll just use pictures that go with what I am saying at that moment so that it will make people understand more what I’m talking about and how my product will help and to, of course, show how amazing it is.

At first I will have a blank screen that will display my company and a little introduction about my product, this will be 10 seconds.

When I start to talk I will show a picture of something that has to do with hypnopedia. I’ll say this: ‘Maybe you’ve heard of it and maybe you haven’t: hypnopedia, also known as sleep-teaching or sleep-learning, is a way that people have figured out to be able to transfer information to a sleeping person by for example playing a sound recording while they are sleeping, it has never been proved whether this works or not and I personally don’t believe in it, since if someone has been sleeping while hearing for instance a recording of a math problem being solved and the next day they have a test and they pass it, it could also easily have been because this person actually is smarter than they think so a way to prove this is impossible Now I can already hear the question flying around ‘what even has this to do with your product?’, I will be telling you that soon.’ This part that I’m saying is around 46 seconds.

I will first be explaining the problem and after that I will introduce my extraordinary product and tell how my product will be able to solve this problem.

I will now show a picture of a person seemingly having a nightmare.  ‘Nightmares, we have probably all had them at least once in our life; such as those nightmares we had as a kid about monsters chasing us and we woke up crying for our mother or those nightmares about trying to run but never getting anywhere, I think I’m speaking for everyone if I say that nightmares are the absolute worst things about sleeping. I’m pretty sure we all want our nightmares to disappear don’t we? So why would you ruin your sleep any longer when I have an amazing solution to this, guaranteed to work out!’ *drum roll please* ‘Now I will be displaying a picture of a person sleeping. That’s right I have figured out a solution to this on-going, sleep devastating problem. My product is called the Dream Machine, this is a machine that will be able to make you choose whatever you would like to dream about. How perfect is that?’ At this moment I will show a picture of a thumbs up. ‘So you are all presumably wondering how this will work out if you will be needing to stick any weird needles into your head or if this will harm you in any way, I can guarantee you none of that is the case and it’s actually quite simple; all you need to do is set this tiny box-like device, that looks like one of those old desktop screens, next to you bed and choose on the touch screen what you would like to dream about that night, after that you’ll need to lay the connected wire underneath your pillow, this will send waves into your brain to manipulate your thought process and what you think about the moment you’re in the state of dreaming so that it will make you dream about the thing you’ve chosen before going to sleep.’ I will now make a picture of a person peacefully sleeping with a smile on their face appear. ‘Of course this machine isn’t able to exactly work out what you dream about since your brain needs to be the one to entirely plan that out in the end, but you will be able to choose a nice topic to steer your brain into the right direction. After everything I said another positive perspective of this machine is that it will assure you a great night rest so it will work stress relieving and a good sleep can also help you be better in school or work since it will help you focus better. After all of these positive aspects I said about my product you can see that this product is not only a good help for people who occasionally have nightmares, but it can work for everyone, it seems to me that everyone would like to be able to choose what they would want to dream about and I think the idea of sleeping better at night and then being able to work better is also a plus. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make this amazing machine all on my own so I will be needing the help of some people, sponsors to be exact.  So do you want to be a part of a phenomenal, life-changing project? Then you can help out by sponsoring this project, just think of all the possibilities this product will have, if it will work out really great then we might even be able to ask hospitals to prescribe this as a medicine. So everyone just remember: want your problems to go away? The Dream Machine will save the day!’ The thing I said at this moment will probably take around 2 minutes and 20 seconds to say in my commercial.
