   Hello, On October 5th me and my group filmed our commercial. My role was one of the actors in the film, as well as Natalia Sorbo. We started off the first scene with a video of me and Natalia sleeping in a bed. Harley was the director in the short film. She did not act in it, but she did film every shot. She gave us direction and instructions. Marlo played the mom in the film, and me and Natalia played the daughters. The Next Shot was an alarm going off and I picked up the phone. I then continued to shut the alarm off and the next clip shows us going back to sleep. Harley then filmed an over the shoulder shot of Marlo walking in the room and waking us up. This is where you see us shoot out the bed. The next clip shows us running to the bathroom, followed by another clip of us brushing our teeth. We then walk over to the living room which shows us throwing away a Starbucks bag. Me and Natalia both pick up a donut and coffee. As we taste the Dunkin donuts, we are transformed, looking brighter and better. We are then called by Marlo (playing the mom) to come leave for school. The final clip shows me and Natalia walking out the front door to leave, and Marlo finishes off the clip by saying "America Runs on Dunkin". We filmed this film horizontally, aka wide shot. Throughout this filming process, it went very smoothly, taking only around an hour and a half. I had much enjoyment making this film and being an actor.
