Final Blog

What is said in the commercial: James Patterson has once again written a fantastic book. “Sail” is a fantastic book that grabs your attention and keeps you reading. Catherine Dunne is a 45 year old heart surgeon with three kids. Her cheating first husband died while sailing, and she's goes on an extended sailing trip to reunite with her kids, each of whom has their own problems. The oldest boy smokes pot, the daughter is bulimic and the younger boy is insecure and unconfident. Catherine believes a two-month sailing trip will reunite her family. She's lost the relationship with her kids since the death of their father. She was consumed with grief and the responsibilities of the funeral. Almost immediately, the boat starts having problems. Thankfully, her brother-in-law Jake is there to help them. Peter Carlyle, Catherine's new husband is a rich defense attorney. He urged Catherine to take this trip and was very supportive. But, as soon as she leaves, you find out he isn't all he claims to be. This story would be a great beach read for summertime mothers lying in the sun. The mixture of suspense and corruption keeps the reader dying to find out what’s next.
Actions in the commercial: The setting of this commercial would start out in a high scale docking station with yachts in the background. The family would board the boat and settle in. The audience would then get a quick look at each character, The too skinny daughter, the high son, the chubby younger boy carrying a laptop and walkie-talkie, a ragged but pretty Catherine, and a very handsome but rough looking Jake. The journey would then begin. After the boat pulled out we would shoot a scene with the husband in a room with his girlfriend. The girl is a dumb airhead but that is an act as well. After getting a brief on him and his conniving ways we would return to the boat to see the elder son getting high and the daughter jumping from the boat. Jake of course will rescue the girl and bring her back to the boat. I would end the commercial with Jake and Catherine standing on the deck looking out to sea with terror on their faces.
