Commercial
Client: Peterson Homes, Salt Lake City,
Utah
This is the outline of a television commercial I
created for this homebuilder/developer to promote its three residential
communities in the greater Salt Lake area. I created five outlines; this
is the one they produced.
COMMERCIAL SKETCH #1
THEME
Woman in her late twenties/early thirties, slightly full-figured, not
model-perfect, encounters various situations in which “fate” takes
control. Yet as we see, she has taken the ultimate control in her Peterson
home.
MUSIC is rushed, agitated, uncomfortable
OPEN WITH
SCENE: She runs with an armload of clothes to a dry cleaner’s front
door – sign says SORRY, WE’RE CLOSED
CUT TO
SCENE: She’s standing outside under some kind of cover, surrounded
by people and picnic supplies – it’s raining, and nobody’s
happy
CUT TO
SCENE: She’s trying and failing to zip up a dress that’s
clearly too small
VOICE-OVER
“Sometimes, you don’t have a choice.”
CUT TO
SCENE: She’s stuck in traffic – it’s backed way up
VOICE-OVER
“Sometimes, you do.”
CUT TO
SCENE: Door sweeps open to reveal a beautiful Peterson living room
MUSIC Is sweet, comfortable, invigorating, creating the impression of
awakening
CUT TO
SCENES: Various areas inside and outside the home are highlighted
VOICE-OVER
“Peterson Homes would like to show you how easy owning
your own home can be. Exceptional communities . . .”
CUT TO
SCENES: shots of the communities; community names/locations on screen
These shots should include live people doing something – cook-out,
walking on property, talking with neighbors, etc., rather than just static,
dead photos. Point is to show viewers that life is good in a Peterson
home, not simply what the place(s) looks like.
