My group is doing a gum commercial for the brand Extra. Recent Extra  commercials  tend to follow a sentimental or heartwarming theme. Some trends include:   > Piano music , which  create s  a  touching moment between the people in the commercial   > Usually  people in close relationships or wanting to be in  close  relationship ; this includes  friends,  love interests,  parents, grandparents, etc.   > Props include Extra gum  in different flavors.

 I have decided to work with Adrian Ramser-Cuellar for this commercial project. Adrian and I have known each other since we were in fifth grade, so I know we would work well together. I know he is a hard working person who tries his best to get his assignments done and keep up with his grades. We also have worked on previous class assignments and were successful. Adrian is very good with technology and computers, specifically editing. I know this because he has a YouTube channel, which requires some sort of editing and filming skill to produce.

I have been doing musical theatre since I was 8 years old, always being in love with being on stage and in the spotlight. I have been in plays like Little Shop of Horrors, Once On This Island, Suessical the Musical and Aladdin...
