XV. Culminating Project: INFOMMERCIAL

Students are tasked to work in in pairs. They are required to conceptualize and execute a video following the format of
a typical television commercial dubbed as infomercial (information content + commercial format). The infomercial must
be at least 30 seconds long to a maximum of one minute.

Students will be allowed to work on their topic of choice (air, water, land and hazardous pollution) and must express
the technical knowledge gained during lectures into a simpler language that could be grasped by common people. The
video must be playable in DVD or PC format.

All infomercials must be submitted as a class in one disc (two copies) with a one paragraph synopsis, about 10-15
sentences long, which contains a brief summary of your concept, characters, message etc.

Format as per recording: infomercial title/ authors + actual infomercial run (30sec 1 minutes) + acknowledgement
(10 seconds max)

The DVD/ VCD should contain the ff. Details: "INFOMMERCIAL"/ course/ subject/ date submitted

Submission will be on January 21, 2014.
