Got a Clue?

Remember when I published a post saying that I had a great idea for my individual advert which included my Cluedo board game? Well here it is ladies and gentlemen... The final product! :D

For this part of the project, I felt like getting a little bit creative! So I grabbed my camera and made my own little photography studio... In my kitchen :D

Tools Required:

1. Cluedo board game, with the little people and dice that come with it.
2. Camera
3. A couple of cigarettes and a lighter (I had adult supervision with this part, I promise)

Method:

1. Set the setting :) Layout board game, put Miss Scarlet on her face in the ballroom, and place the dice and case file envelope in the ballroom too to set the mood of one taking chances with ones life and the also to make it clear that the advert is a sort of parody of Cluedo.
2. The key ingredient: Place two burning cigarettes in ballroom.
   
3. Take a photograph of the crime scene
4. Edit the photo so that it becomes an advert

The End Result: A message that leaves an impact (I hope!) - Got a Clue? Smoking Kills!

This was second to filming the Charlies Angels TV advert on the top-awesome-parts-of-making-this-English-project list :) I really had fun with this.

Coming to the end of this project, I realise that a lot of making this project happen was fun. From procrastinating at sleepovers, making radio advertisements with fake bands ("Hi we're the Parlotines"), eating Zoo Biscuits and getting addicted to Rooibos tea, to dressing as a giant cigarette and getting kicked in the butt ;), cramming in the many blogs, and really discovering how useful our Blackberry cellphones are when it comes to keeping organised! Looking at all of this, I can truly say that this was one of the most fun projects I've worked on. And it's definitely thanks to our crazy group. Tarryn, Nina, Jade :) You guys are awesome.

Sigh, it's good to know that this project is nearly out of the way though. I'm looking forward to having finished presenting our PowerPoint presentation so we can have a chance to relax :)

I think that as a group we have created a great campaign against smoking and that this project will be a success :)
