Answer to Question 1

The number of people involved in the making of a television commercial is very large, and many of them are highly skilled. A production crew may charge anywhere from
5,000 to 10,000 per day. Equipment fees also figure into the often staggering cost of producing a spot. Travel, lodging, casting, and overtime costs, often within short timetables, increase the price of production.
Specific examples of commercials will vary, of course, depending on the television spot described. However, the student's answer should touch on some of the issues noted above regarding expenses, and should outline the extent to which the commercial meets at least two of the following guidelines:
First, does it use an attention-getting and relevant opening? Second, does it emphasize the visual?
Third, does it coordinate the audio with the visual? Fourth, does it persuade as well as entertain?
Fifth, does it do a good job of showing the product?
