 TREATMENT EXAMPLE (McDonald’s TV Commercial)
A Commercial Treatment by John Mastromonaco

“Chain Reaction” is all about how one simple moment

can spark a continuous, natural series of events. When
we open the spot, we’re mid-stride, a woman on her
way to work as she crosses the street. It’s morning, it’s
a nice day—we’re right in stride with her.
 TREATMENT EXAMPLE (McDonald’s TV Commercial)
A Commercial Treatment by John Mastromonaco
(cont.)

A simple camera move or cut reveals to us what she

sees—in the stopped car she passes at the red light, the
passenger is eating an Egg McMuffin. For just a
moment, we move in slowly—now we see the Egg
McMuffin in its wrapper, familiar golden arches
unmistakable.
 TREATMENT EXAMPLE (McDonald’s TV Commercial)
A Commercial Treatment by John Mastromonaco
(cont.)

Now we know it’s morning. Then when we cut back to

the woman, she’s at a subway platform, enjoying her
Egg McMuffin as the subway pulls into the station. So
with a few simple shots—we’ve started our Chain
Reaction.
 TREATMENT EXAMPLE (McDonald’s TV Commercial)
A Commercial Treatment by John Mastromonaco
(cont.)

From there, our job is to let our continuing series of

vignettes unfold as effortlessly and as simply as that. As
the subway pulls into the station, we see a teenager who
is inside, he sees the woman eating, enjoying her Egg
McMuffin.
 TREATMENT EXAMPLE (McDonald’s TV Commercial)
A Commercial Treatment by John Mastromonaco
(cont.)

When we cut back to the teenager, we’ve shifted time

and place again with minimal intrusion. Our teenager’s
now stepping off the elevator inside a large, modern
building—and he’s enjoying his Egg McMuffin. Cut to
well-dressed businessman who sees the teenager
steeping off the elevator.
 TREATMENT EXAMPLE (McDonald’s TV Commercial)
A Commercial Treatment by John Mastromonaco
(cont.)

When we next see him (businessman) he is sitting in a

beautiful European garden on a bench, eating an Egg
McMuffin. In turn, the gardener notices the
businessman then—chain reaction. The next time we
see the gardener he’s selling fresh flowers with one
hand, holding an Egg McMuffin in the other. And so it
goes.
What is a storyboard?

 A storyboard is a graphic
representation of how your
video will unfold, shot by shot.
 Thinkof it as sort of a comic
book version of your script.
