My Comercial

Comercials

Comercials are very stiky because they talk about the same thing always. Their only pourpouse is to convince people to buy their product. They make this by creating a small stiky song, repeating over and over what they product is capable of, or putting it in offer and giving free things that will come along with the product. Some other comercials try to create an impression on you so you can start making conscience about a problem the world is facing. The comercials I've watch so far are really effective. They really make me think about things that are going on around us and no one seems to notice. For example, the comercials of Dove talk about the girl's self-steem, how girls are not comfortable with the body they have and how they wish they could be blond, or brunette or skiny. They also think they're ugly so they decide to cover their real face with make up and create a fake person using fotoshop.



In my comercial I´ll try to convince people about something. It could be quit somking, use protection while having sex, or love theirselves, their body, what they were given and have.

Self-reflection

To create our comic, we went through many steps before having it perfectly done. First, we chose the most important dialogues and cut the most important lines or phrases. After having the dialogues done, we wrote them in comic life in separate pages, which were different scences. After having all organized in comic life, we took the pictures. The pictures were based on the most important scenes of the entire act. When we finished with the pictures, we uploaded them in the computer and started to organize them depending on what dialogues said. Then we double check every thing, did corrections, and submited. I did like the project, it was something fun to do; however we worked really hard to make it look perfect. The most difficult part was working with my teammates. We had a lot of arguing and disagreements which made the work a little bit hard. However, the comic we did was good, though I don't think it's that good to be available for sign-out. It was totaly something fun and stressful project to do, but I'm really happy with the final draft.

I do agree with the fact that comics are not a way to learn about serious literature. The reason is because comics are mostly "fun", short, and not well explained. many people make the comics as something fun or as a joke towards a novel, movie or play. This makes the literature or whichever thing less important. Also when they make them short, they take away some of the magic and submit many parts. They try to put only the most important parts, though they miss a lot information and sometimes they are not understandable as in a text book. Comics are better to have a good time not to study or learn about something big. However they can make it a little bit entertaining. Even though I'm a little bit lazy, I prefer to learn more complete and good information than incomplete and bad information. Literature can be fun but we have to understand that it's something serious in some way.

One Day With Friends :)

My video was about a day with friends. I tried to show people with pictures how fun a day with your bestfriends and friends is. All the things you can do and create in just a few hours. My song was One Love from Bob Marley. I chose it because friends are like family, and they are part of your heart, of your life. I thought it would be nice to put a song that represents that love between your friends, and well, as the song says, "one love, one heart, let's get together and be all right". That's what true friends do, stay together forever and ever no matter what. Honestly, I'm very happy with the work I did and I wouldn't change any thing from the video. I think that all the pictures and the song fits very well and the video can't be more perfect ;)

Video Reflection

The video we saw in class was awsome! I really liked it. It talks about a day in the world. It has images from all over the world, images that are some impressing, but most of them familiar. Waht the message probably be is that many things can happen every day, 24/7. It is very impressing how in everywhere there are billions of people working, and doing the same thing daily. They go to the same places every day, they do the same thing every day, they do the same routine every day.

The images that most cause impact on me were the little boy with clutches, the thunder, the bomb exploting. They are pretty strong images that I didnt event thought of before. I never imagine seeing a little boy without a leg. That's so sad :s and really made me feel thankful of what I have, and of never complain because of innecesary and stud stuff. There are so many poeple out ther that doesn't even have a quarter of what I do and live happily without complaining.
