PSA's

A PSA is a type of advertisement mostly shown in TV, Radio, or other media. They are similar to commercials because both are short, but they differ in many other ways. Commercials anounce a product in a funny, serious way; they leave you ceratin message so you would buy that product, and sometimes they are educative. Meanwhile the PSA's are more funny and weird (violent, gross, inapropiated). They are mostly for entertainment and at the end they give you a message like "don't play with the moon", they are talking about something unreal.
I would like to work with Xime or Debo because they have lots of imagination and creativity. Fer C. because she is very intelligent, and I know she will come up with something good. Paola or Priscila because they are crazy and very funny.
Use something of our interest like:
1. Technology
2. For girls, love.
3. For boys, sports or cars.
4. Parties
5. Music
I would make a PSA about a guy watching sports instead of being with his girlfriend or ginorng her or I don't really know. I have no ideas right now.
Maybe for technology it could be a commercial of how many silly things we do without noticing them because we are stick to our cell-phones all day.
I don't have good ideas right now, so I don't know how i could approach them if I were assigned that as an PSA.

Commercials

The three commercials I liked the most were Doritos-2011-House Sitting, Volkswager-2011-Darth Vader, and Coca Cola -2011-siege. It would be really funny to bring back to life everything we once loved just by spreading Doritos in them. In the second commercial, the boy is really cute trying to make everything work with his hands, just like the real Darth Vader. The commercial of Coca-Cola is really positive. I really like those commercials because they are very humorous and that way people can remember the product they are publishing.

I would improve All the videos by putting something that relates to the S.B. Non of the comercials have something to do with it. I would have included a coreback or a runner or a liner, or even the coach! Someone related to the teams or players. If the videos are called "S.B. comercials", well, they should make that statement true. Though, a video I thought was inapropiate was Pepsi Max- First Date. This video is not something a young kid can see because it talks about sex in not a good way. This commercials are the ones that doesn't inspire you to buy the product published.

The video I liked the most from my classmates was Jorge's. His video is very original and goes straight to the main point. The way he filmed the video was really good, the music fits perfectly, and it is really funny. Even though he was serious during the video, at the end he says something that really caught my attention and in certain way it really made me want to buy a coca-cola :) I think he really deserves a 10! He did an excellent job with the video. :)

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.
