>> PHONE-PHONE-MAIN-KOTAK << In today’s digital world, the mobile phone is fast becoming the focus of everybody’s lives. It empowers people to do what they want to do and need to do from wherever they are, whenever they want to. Banking is no exception. Kotak Mahindra Bank was a pioneer in digital banking, be it with hashtag banking or services like mail money and Insta PIN generation. Over the last few months, Kotak has added several new innovative features, including message money, flight booking, buy a book via twitter, mobile and DTH recharge, internet-free mobile banking, and several other services. Today, there are more than 77 different things a customer could do using the Kotak mobile banking app. The campaign builds on the hugely popular ‘Kona Kona Kotak’ campaign that announced the coming together of Kotak Mahindra Bank and ING Vysya Bank. The multimedia campaign across TV, outdoor, and digital is built around the slogan “Phone Phone Mein Kotak”. It showcases how mobile banking using Kotak’s app and Hashtag banking features has transformed the way people lead their lives, in simple and profound ways, be it in large urban cities or in the smaller towns of our country. The campaign explores this change that is sweeping across India thanks to technology, innovation, and a customer orientation. The campaign pegs on three unique features of Kotak Mahindra’s Banking experience on Mobile: Instant Money Transfer, Tweet to Buy a Book and Flight Booking to give viewers a perspective on the transactions they can do on their phone. It tries to communicate that with the passage of time, the means of banking may be evolving but the emotions are just the same. Karthi Marshan, Sr EVP and Head, Group Marketing, Kotak Mahindra Bank, said, “Banking has truly evolved from traditional branch visits to anytime, anywhere banking on several screens, mobile being the most popular and widely accessed. The adoption rate of our mobile banking app is amongst the highest in the country. As pioneers in digital banking, we offer as many as 77 myriad services through our banking app that include mobile and DTH recharge, ecommerce transactions, etc.” “Phone Phone Mein Kotak campaign highlights some of our key mobile features such as flight booking, money transfer and tweet to order a book. We have seen a significant surge in in-app shopping and payments, and this momentum is likely to continue. Further, with ‘Tweet to Order’ we have integrated conventional banking and social media creating a revolutionary concept called Social Commerce,” Marshan added. D Ramakrishna, Agency Head, Cartwheel, said, “Phone Phone Mein Kotak is the second sequel to the highly recalled and successful Kona Kona Kotak campaign. This campaign highlights the far reaching impact that mobile banking has had on the dayto-day lives of Indians, be it in Chennai or Chittorgarh. Kotak was among the first banks to pitch its tent in the digital domain, with features like instapin, mailmoney, and hashtag banking. Today, there are 77 different things Kotak customers can do with their mobile banking app. This campaign seeks to help Kotak claim leadership in mobile banking by leveraging the utility, convenience, and efficiency of its digital features. With apps that work on smart and feature phones, Kotak is uniquely placed in staking such a claim. The campaign has 3 TV commercials built around flight booking, message money, and tweet-to-buy-a-book. The outdoor campaign highlights several other features. A bunch of youtube videos as well, talk about some of the 77 things customers can do.

>> AIRPORT ANNOUNCER SCRIPT << ●The film opens in the control room of an airport from where flight announcements are made. We see three girls hard at work making announcements, in front of a huge bank of monitors showing all the different parts of the airport. ●We focus on one of those girls – a pretty girl, about 22 years old. We hear her making an announcement: Last call for Mr. Shirish Verma…Gate 201… ●As she makes the announcement, we see her noticing a big, hefty guy in his late 20’s, with many bags huffing and puffing as he runs. Obviously, he is the Mr. Shirish Verma about whom she just made the announcements. She sees him as he stops, breathing heavily as he puts his hands on his knees and gives up. ●The girl takes a break. Spotting a 2F Kitkat in her bag, she takes off the wrapper, slides her finger along one bar. Still looking at the guy on the screen, she breaks a kitkat wafer and as she looks down at it to take a bite, she suddenly takes a second look at the mike in front of her. She plops the chocolate in her mouth and as she starts chewing a small smile comes on her face as she looks back at the passenger, still with his hands on his knees. ●She grabs the mike and announces: Mr. Verma…you in orange…(the tired looks up in surprise) come on, you can make it!!!! ●Then breaking out from her role as a serious airport announcer, she starts singing a version of the famous ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (Run, Milka, run) song to encourage the guy: Ab tu bhaag Vermaaaaaa…Bhag-Verma, Bhag-Verma, Bhag-Verma… (Start running, Vermaaaa (replacing a word in the song with the character’s name)…Run-Verma… Run-Verma… Run-Verma…) ●Hearing it, we see the guy starting to run again. ●Back in the control room, we see the other two announcers looking at her in complete surprise and shock. Obviously, they have never seen this side of her before. The girl plops the second wafer of Kitkat into her mouth, as she starts to sing with complete gusto and abandon, and does a little jig as she sings: Ab tub bhag, bhag, bhag, bhag, bhag…Verma… (Now you run, run, run, run, runnn…Verma) ●We see her colleagues starting to smile, impressed by her singing. ●We now see the man running hard, inspired by the girl’s singing that booms out of the airport’s speakers, as passengers around him also cheer him on. ●Back in the control room, we see the announcer’s colleagues have gathered around her, cheering. As the girl’s song reaches a crescendo: Bhag, bhag, bhag, bhag, bhag… ●We see the guy, breathless, making it just in time for his flight and raising his arms in victory. ●As the song finishes, we see the girl’s colleagues in the room break out into applause. The girl turns around and takes the applause with a little bow. We hear the voice over saying: Yeh tha inka main-bhi-rockstar break… (This was her am-a-rockstar break) ●Pack shot of both 2F and 4F Kitkat. Aapka break jaisa bhi ho…hai ek mauka, kuch naya kar dikhaane ka.Have a break, have a KitKat (No matter what kind of break you take…it’s an opportunity to do something new. Have a break, have a Kitkat.)

A financially stable company with sound investment expertise, Max Life Insurance has a strong customer-centric approach focused on advice-based sales and quality service. “Max Life Insurance has always stood for honesty and transparency in the sector which for the most part is seen as untrusting. They have built their equity and differentiation over the last few years on the value of ‘Honesty’. Earlier they highlighted the honest and straight forward dealings that the advisors have with their customers, seeding the proposition of ‘Aapke Sachche Advisor’.

{243}


>> CAMPAIGN << Max Life Insurance, one of India’s leading life insurance companies launches a new campaign ‘Sachchi Advice’. The new campaign emphasizes the importance and significance of honest advice which, usually comes from someone who has a genuine interest in your welfare. The central theme of the campaign is captured with the tag line 'Sachchi Advice sirf apne hi dete hain'.

>> STORY /SCRIPT << TWO BROTHERS, A GAME OF CAROM AND SACHCHI ADVICE The campaign brings alive ‘Sachchi Advice’ through an engaging story of two brothers playing carrom in their home. The older brother suggests to the younger brother to start saving instead of buying an expensive phone. This is followed a few seconds later with another suggestion to buy a less expensive phone and use the remaining amount to invest in an insurance policy. The younger brother casually shrugs off his older brother’s suggestions with a few tongue-in-cheek retorts and asks why his older brother, at his age had not thought it important to save for the future. The older brother answers saying that when he was younger he didn’t have a caring older brother like he is now to advise him accordingly. This one sentence is the very thread that weaves the campaign together. The film is built on our nature to consider the advice of those older than us, especially siblings, to be old fashioned and archaic and therefore in many ways irrelevant. The new TVC with the tag-line 'Sachchi Advice sirf apne hi dete hain' showcases the importance of honest or Sachchi Advice and the old adage that it's only those who care for you, who will give you honest advice

>> WHY SHRADDHA KAPOOR ? <<

The gen-next star, Shraddha Kapoor has been announced as the brand ambassador of Dulux paints. She has joined the league with Farhan Akhtar who is already endorsing the brand’s exterior and interior range. Rajiv Rajgopal, director of the brand AkzoNobel India- parent company of Dulux paints feels that Shraddha is a perfect fit for the brand. Because : "India with a large and young population has a great demographic advantage. The average age of the 1.25 billion strong Indian population will be 29 years in 2020. Hence, Shraddha Kapoor is a perfect fit as the brand ambassador to connect with this set of next gen consumers," he added. “Home decoration is a significant medium of expressing one’s individual style and Dulux helps consumers in finding that style along with great performance.” “Together with Farhan Akhtar, Dulux’s new brand ambassador Shraddha Kapoor will be supporting the efforts at increasing the market for this iconic and truly international brand,”

>> CONCLUSION << For any Medium, be it a Feature Film or a TVC, understanding the theme and objective is very important. If the Art Director’s set does not complement the Story or distracts the focus of the product then even though the set is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, it is a communication failure. Art director’s job is to convert the director’s vision into celluloid Reality and bridge the gap between the audience and the message to be delivered. It requires more realistic and detailed sets and sometimes requires it to be Art-directed : reality -glossier and glamorous. Understanding the story, Product and the situation helps one to design a space which is relevant and believable. For TVC’s : the focus is more on the realistic setting with a little un-reality. Today slowly the audience is becoming more aware and hence realistic settings are more in demand. Through this project I understood the Different requirements of different themes, genres and treatments. I was able to identify the objective and the target of the Set being created and contributed my efforts in designing for the same.

{292}



>> LEARNING << The projects helped me in symplifying the whole process of design. It taught various stages of design and how they are carried .It specifed that how a design is developed impeccably by analyzing all the feedbacks and reviews. I worked on more than 10 different live-projects projects, all with different scopes of work which helped me to explore my design abilities and push the envelope with each project. This was the first time I was able to focus all my strength on Production Design as a subject. It helped increase my sense of detailing as well as showed me how i could apply myself better in this area. It also helped me in learning time management. It sincerely taught me the knowledge required to understand the processfrom scratch to finish . The projects taught how to handle client and deliver a good result fulflling the clients requirements. I also understood the process from research to the fnal design. The whole experience was a turning point in my life where i learnt , I perceived and tried my best to deliver good results. Overall it was a lot of hardwork but a lot of fun as well !
