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.

VIDEO EVERYDAY LIFE

Life in a Day

Today in class, we saw a very interesting video about life. In the video we can observe different scenes that we experienced every day. I did like the video because its funny how all the scenes that appear are things that we do in real life. If we really think about, life's a routine. We do the same things over and over. Sometimes we might do different things, but it's still the same stuff. It all starts at day light, thousands of people interacting with each other. The message in this video is that everyday for every person, is different and in the video we see what other people experience or see. This video really made me think a lot.

The "chunks" that I found very powerful from the video were when people were interacting with each other, and people exercising. It is very powerful because that's what most of people's routine is. Most people exercise and work every day. That's what happens almost everyday, its a routine that people do. That's a great example in the video because that's really Life in a Day.

Investigation

Today in class we worked on our project about fuel efficiency, and about our transportation and the gas we waste etc. I discovered how to measure how much to I waste of fuel, and how much fuel I waste by walking, using an electric bicycle etc. For example, by walking I use 14.8629.
By using an electric bicycle I use 19.4805 and by bus I use 565.665. This really makes me think about really using cars, because I'm really wasting a lot of money, and also i'm not helping the environment at all. We really should try to considerate more of wasting fuel and money. We should really safe more.

Fuel Sufficient


Have you ever wondered how many liters of gas we use only by driving small distances?
In my case, we use our cars for everything. To going to school, going to Galerias etc. My mom uses her Maxima car and only from my house to la Marina,( my school ) we waste 1610.388 $ per year. On the other hand, there's my dream car, which is an Infiniti. I seriously love that car is so beautiful. It is worse for me to have the Infiniti car because it uses 1701.297 $ per year. Which really is not very good. Now that I did the result I figure out, that if I have my dream car, it will be worse than have the car I use right now, because I'll definitely waste more money.
