Fastfood commerical suggestions (KFC)

[Nba185]

My group is going to do a project on KFC like a short commerical.

We have to tell the audience our favorite KFC products and why.

How would you film it? Suggestions please..

Right, I don't know why this popped into my head (other than it's late and I'm sleep deprived), but I would shoot it very seriously (parody of course). The only example I can come up with to describe this is those commercials you see where the announcer discuses some fact (usually with some sort of acompanying diagram), then you cut to footage of person giving some somber testimonial (something like: "I didn't even know I had contracted an STD. This footage is invariably in black in white, or against a white back ground; or even both. It came as a complete shock when my doctor told me"). So I think what I'm trying to say is, shoot it like a herpes commercial. So for example I'd have a very slow tracking shot of a box of KFC with the medical-snake-curling-around-a-staff-thing superimposed in the background (tracking in the opposite direction for optimal effect) with a voice-over (must be a deep, commanding voice): "It's a proven medical fact that Kentucky Fried Chicken is goddamned delicious", then cut to one of your actors (and they must to this completely deadpan; maybe so far as to have the beginning of tears in their eyes) looking into the camera saying: "I just can't get enough. I can't stop". Continue this process ad nauseum.

Holy Christ I'm tired.

Good idea but i don't get this:
medical-snake-curling-around-a-staff-thing superimposed in the background (tracking in the opposite direction for optimal effect)

"The medical snake curling around staff thing" is a description of the coat of arms/logo (called the caduceus) of the medical profession, here's a picture and info on wikipedia:

The rest is film talk.

Thanks mate, that's the one. Don't know why I didn't bother looking that up before posting; probably would've made things a little easier.

You should let the world know the fact that 100% of people who eat KFC die!!! You can look that one up, its true!

Lol. It is true.

The image (the Caduceo) is:



or this...which basically just a different version (technically the star of life)...

And people who don't eat KFC become immortal...?

[Jperson]

Precisely.
