Infomercial

Anatomy Comments Off

Sep 242009

Your group will design its own infomercial for a product of your choice. The product may already exist or you may invent your own. The infomercial and product must be rated for television, so keep it clean! This assignment is an opportunity for you to practice your terminology so you will remember it better. Therefore the infomercial must contain at least 35 terminology words. These words may already exist or you may combine your own prefixes, word roots and suffixes to make up your own words. You can also use body regions, body planes, body structures etc… These words should flow throughout the presentation, not be clumped into one part. Additionally, you should follow these rules:

Presentation is 8-12 minutes. You will be penalized if you go under 8 minutes or over 12 minutes (even by 1 second!) – television time is precious and adhered to strictly – the tv station would cut you off.
Your group must type the final script and hand it in before your presentation. Each terminology term should be in bold and underlined.
You must memorize your parts – you may not have your script in front of you.
A group member may hold up cue cards ‘off camera’ but they must also participate on camera
Everyone must participate!
You should accentuate each term when you use it in your skit.
Optional – you may videotape it ahead of time **
You should be excited about your product – I should wonder how I ever lived without it!
