he process we went through

My video was actually pretty good. I did liked many things about it, I thought it was very entertaining, and you could really understand about the issue about being more careful with the internet. Personally I thought it was very funny, and that it had true stories about what really happen in real life. How people really get kidnap by meeting a total stranger through via internet. Me and Priscila, planned our video very well, each seen we wrote what we were going to use and the dialogue we were going to say during the video. Our video was great!

Priscila and me struggled a lot in the video because I missed one week of school and then she left, but we could record some part of the video. Most of the video was at school, which I didn't liked at all, but as I live very far from Nuevo Vallarta, which we were planning to do it there, we decided if would have been better if we recorded at school. Basically you could say that those were the only things that we had trouble and the thing I would have changed would have been to film it at other location, but our video was totally awesome!


The class did a great job on making the PSA videos. They were simple awesome and very original. Although there was two of them which I simply thought they were the best. Y choosed Debora's & Jade and Fernanda Corzo and Adri's. The reason why I choose Debo's & Jade's was because they were very original because they were actually filming in a real party where the was alcohol, and they could really demonstrate the issue about how does drinking affects you and others. The video was funny, and my favorite part was when Jade was supposing vomiting in the toilet. The other video I really liked, was Adri's and Fer's. Their video was about anorexia & bulimia which I thought it was a great topic because many young girls suffer this terrible disease. The message they give in the video, really makes you think about making the right decision. About finishing with this terrible thing, that leads you to death. All they videos were great, but some them needed more work or effort. I would have seriously not recorded my video at school, because it seems kind of lame... So probably the ones who recorded their videos in school should have done it somewhere else.

PSA

A PSA is an advertisement that is on television , radio or another media that its basic use is to inform. The objective of a PSA is to raise awareness or change behaviors and attitudes on a social issue. Public service advertising relies on donated media. In other words, a PSAdo not purchase paid airtime or space. A PSA “ask” that a media outlet - whether it’s a TV or radio station, magazine, newspaper, internet provider, or billboard company - run our PSAs for free. PSAs are always sponsored by a nonprofit or government agency whereas a commercial is paid for by a private company who then purchase airtime and space to run their ad. A commercial's effectt of is to advertise upon the viewing public and persuade people. They are very different in many ways because a PSA is actually giving you a message and is teaching you something, while a commercial just informs and you don't learn anything from it. They can be similar because they can be presented by the same sources, like tv, radio etc. As you have seen a PSA and a commercial are very different ways of informing, but they also share common characteristics.

I would like to work with many people in my class, but specially with these three girls: Adriana Rizzuto, Priscila Garibay and Ximena Mendez. I would like to work with these girls because I really get along with them and they are very dedicated girls, how always try to achieve good grades. They are also creative and they know how to work in teams.

List:
sex & proteccion
sexual transmitted diseases
anorexia & bulimia
trusting people
drinking and driving
teeange drinking
drugs & alcohol
low-self steem

If I had to choose three of these topics I would probably chose teenage drinking, anorexia and bulimia and low-self steem. I would like to choose one of these topics because this are problems that most of the teenagers suffer right now. They go under very rough and important decisions in this period of time, so these problems are essential. For anorexia and bulimia I would probably try to make girls to become secure about their body, and not be all ashamed or stressed out. Helping them to undergo eating disorders. On the other hand, if i had to choose teeange drinking will be persuading teenagers to not be drinking before they are underage, because seriously they don't know what they are really doing. Last but not least if will be about how mostly teeangers have a low-self teem, because maybe they feel nobody understands them, and how they have trouble making friends. This is a very important topic I would like to discuss.

Commercial

Super Bowl commercials

Today in class, we got to see a variety of the Super Bowl commercials. They were ones who were good, and they were others who weren't that awesome. I had some videos who were my favorite ones. They were very original and some of them were very funny. There was one video, which a totally thought it was amazing. The video is the Volkswagen Commercial . This video features a pint-sized Darth Vader who uses the Force when he discovers the all-new 2012 Passat in the driveway. It leverages humor and the unforgettable Star Wars. My favorite part in on 0.47 sec. This video is very humorous and original that's why is my favorite video. You should totally watch it.

On the other hand, as I said they were some videos who were not good at all. An example is the Android commercial. This video is an advertisement halftime show football green bay packers. Basically it tells you about all the new technology the phone has. In my personal opinion the video was not entertaining at all. It takes a long amount of time, to really understand what the video is about. Also I found it a bit disturbing, because the end is kind of freaky. I would have change maybe the last part, and take a less amount of time. They should have gone straight to the point.

Last but not least, my classmates videos. Sincerely they were all awesome and they all did a great job. Everyone tried to make their videos very unique and entertaining and funny. In my opinion my favorite video was Jorge's. Jorge's video was simply amazing. It had the exact amount of time that the teacher asked. It went straight to the point and it was entertaining and extremely funny. He's video was about doing an advertisement about coke, while you are doing exercise. Seriously it made me laugh so much, because he's a wonderful comedian. Well done Jorge, you did an amazing job!

Commercials

Today in class we saw a variety of videos that for me were very interesting. I liked that some videos were humorous, shocking etc. The videos had many different themes, that were trying to be explain. Some of there were about to quit smoking, learning English, and natural beaut. There was a video that for me was very shocking. It was the DOVE-EVOLUTION. This video demonstrates reality. How they really don't care about natural beauty. We saw the reality. How companies don't really care of natural beauty. This video show the extreme photo shop all companies like Dove use in their models. In the video we can see a model before they start with all the makeover. She is not pretty at all. But after all the make-up and the photo-shop she looks great. So we can see the no one is perfect. Even though when we look up in magazines or tv we see people who look perfect, but apparently, they are not. This commercial really has a profound effect on me, because it was very surprising to see all the changes and how they fixed the "real you".




They are many elements that I'm going to use in my commercial. I want to have a lot of reality in this video so people will get a profound effect on my commercial. Maybe it can be humorous by I assume that people will take it more seriously if I have a deep message about reality happening now. Give a message to everyone, maybe I could talk about global warming, contamination, raping, 2012. Some interesting topics. I will put a intense background music, so it can cause an impact on the audience. I will have many challenges in this project, because ill have to make it interesting and entertaining. So the audience can really understand something about this specific topic i want them to learn. I really hope that the commercials are in partners, because seriously it's a lot of work for only one person, and if two people work on it, it will make everything so much easier. Can't wait to do this project!




There is a video I really liked about anti smoking. For me it was deep, but you really have to see it as how smoking or doing drugs can really change you as a person. The message is to stop being a selfish person and live up to your responsibilities. You brought a child into this world, now it is your duty as a parent to raise this child and give them your love. The right kind of environment to grow up in. If you die because of cigarettes and leave your children behind, than you've failed as a parent and as a responsible human being. link

theme and process

During this week, we started planning all of our "Bay in day" videos, which were absolutely great. I had tons of fun, uploading the pictures, and creating effects on it. My theme in my video was Everyday life. All of my pictures based on every people's lives. The new and creative things they have to experience everyday. I choose this theme, because this is what every people goes through everyday. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you are located, what matters are the moments, the adventures you have daily. For my my theme, is the most important thing in this hole video. It's the idea about what I have about life. We should always be happy and demonstrate how wonderful is life. Just remember live every day like if there was no tomorrow. Live, laugh love.

When I started creating my video, I had no idea about what my video was going to be about. I had no clue. Than I remembered about how fun and adventurous is life everyday. The process of my video was a bit hard. I choose pictures about me and my friends, and I tried to choose the pictures in which we looked very happy and having lots of fun. I choose pictures from school, parties etc. My song, was LOVE TODAY- MIKA which I think is the correct one because of my theme. Last but not least, I uploaded a video of some friends having tons of fun, which really symbolizes the everyday life. This project is one of the best and most interesting projects we have done in this class. The process was absolutely fun.
