Students in Smyrna High School’s TV & Film Production program have an opportunity to create commercials for a local business, with the goal of seeing their work on television.

Fourteen students will form seven teams to compete for the chance to develop an advertising campaign for Blue Coast Burrito, a local restaurant with 11 locations in Middle Tennessee and three other states. Shortly after returning from fall break, students met with Blue Coast representatives, who shared the company’s marketing needs and target audience.

Between now and Thanksgiving break, each team will develop a commercial concept and pitch it directly to Blue Coast, instructor Kyle Dietz said. The top two teams will produce official video campaigns for the restaurant, including a 30-second commercial, a 15-second version for social media and a six-second spot.

Sophomore Aaron Alvarez said he was excited about the opportunity, particularly because most students in the class are in their second year of AV Production.

“(Dietz) emphasized how important this is, to be working with a business during high school,” Alvarez said. This semester, students have worked on projects ranging from movie trailers to mini-documentaries.

Students will gain more than camera skills through the project. Dietz said the experience will help them develop communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills while learning to meet professional expectations.

The partnership is a natural fit, as Blue Coast Burrito sponsors Smyrna Today, the school’s student-produced daily news program.

“This is exactly the kind of authentic experience we want our students to have,” Dietz said.
