Budlight Commercial

1. (Visual) The lighting in this commercial was a bit on the dull side. This was to really make you feel like it was a locker room. In the beginning of the commercial that camera angle started in close and moved out to a medium shot. Through out the commercial they edited the shots together to make it look like there were a bunch of mistakes and they were shooting a new one. The main character of the commercial was Jackie Moon “Will Farrell” the star player from Semi Pro. He is dressed like a basketball player and has on leg on a bench while he is standing there holding a Bud Light. He is acting cool and casual to tell you if you drink Bud Light then you are cool to. The setting does not change at all. The whole time it is shot in a locker room with lockers and a play board in the background to show that the movie is about basketball.

2. (Sounds) The only people that you hear is Jackie Moon and the director in the background. The music is very seductive to give a sexy kind of mood. The music is the same though out the whole commercial. The purpose is to be sexy and make you feel sexy when you drink Bud Light but at the same time be funny. The audience would be about 21 to 40 I would think.

3. (Apply Key Questions) Everything that I said above really sets the commercial over the top. Bud Light is a popular beer and the use a very funny well known actor to star in it. The thing that I really found interesting is that they advertised for two different things here all in one commercial, Bud Light and Semi Pro. This was a very interesting technique that they used, it really made the commercial interesting and funny. I really do not believe that this commercial would go over well with the older people just because they may find this to be inappropriate.

John Tucker Must Die is a movie that was made back in 2006 and is a comedy/romantic film. This movie is loaded with great scenes and alot of lessons. John Tucker who is the main character is the team captain for the basketball team, and the most popular guy in school. Then you have the head cheerleader, the smart one, the mysterious one, and the unnoticed one. I like how they used all of these clicks and showed how they are effected in their own ways by the popular people. This John Tucker guy is dating the first three girls that I said and they all found out and now they want to get back at them. So their plan is to take the unnoticed girl and get John Tucker to like her so she can break his heart and see how it feels. It's just like "The Merchants of Cool" the world looks at us and see's all of this drama that kids go threw and make it into a movie. We like to see the struggles that we all go threw.

That 70's show is one of my all time favorite's for alot of different reasons. The first reason is that I love how it can relate to our lives. I don't know what it is about that; maybe we just like to see how we are sometimes. The setting of it really relates also because alot of us have place's that we like to hang out just like Erics house in the show. Also this is a story about a high school couple that have alot of problems. Being from Port Edwards we see this kind of thing alot. Also the have all of your clicks in there. The thing that I like about this is that the all hang out together. It's not like The Hills where only the rich cool kids get to hang out. The only negative message that I get out of the show would be when the smoke pot in their little circle. Overall I love how this show relates to our everyday life so we can see what we are like.

This song for me has more to do with the emotional side of things. The reason I picked this song is because this is Katie and my song that we have for each other. The lyrics to the song is the reason that we choose it. This is the chorus that I personally like.

"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever i fall You say it best when you say nothing at all"

For Katie and I we wanted a song that explained how we feel towards each other. I'm sure that this isn't just the case for us but for others also. Typically I do not like music like this but when there is a reason behind it, it changes everything. The one thing about this song that I like is that she is speaking from her heart, and the reason that people listen to it is because they are feeling the same thing and they like to know that there is someone else out there like them.

Positice Negative Pictures

This is the image that I have picked for my positve image. This image I really wanted to show the more of the macho, sexy side. The first thing that I wanted to talk about is the camera angle. It's farther away and angles slightly up. The reason for the farther away shot is to show that he wants you to see all of him. He is not afraid of what he looks like. The reason for the angle up shot is to give him a bigger look, that is where the macho part comes into play. The next thing is the lighting. As you can see the background has alot of color and gives the photo a warm feeling. The lighting is also brighter in the face to give it that warm feeling also. The last thing is the clothes. As you can see the clothing is very nice and there is also a fishing pole. The fishing pole is to show that he is proud of what he does.

Positive Negative Pictures

This image I am using for my negative shot. The first thing that I want to talk about is the camera angle. As you can see the image is from the top and at the side. This is to show that you are looking down on him and the side angle is supose to show that he is trying to hide from the world. The next thing is the lighting. As you can also see with this is the lighting is very dim and the eyes have alot of shadow in them. This gives the effect that he is sad about something. The last and the final thing is the clothing. It is more on the slum side just to show that he doesn't care about his apperance.

Boys like Girls "Five Minutes to Midnight"

I listen to music all of the time. I would rather listen to music than watch t.v. because I feel that music is what influences me the most. One song that I love is Five Minutes to Midnight. This song is all about change and a new start. For me I feel that we all need a new start sometimes and this song really makes you think of everything that you would like to change in your life. I love Boys like girls because they talk about all of the struggles in your life but at the same time helps you get threw them. They talk about the negative side but then the positive outcome.

"Turn it upIt's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough
Shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
You see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop and come alive"

This is just a little bit of what they talk about in their music.

Family Guy "reality show"

Nothing is better than a good laugh before you go to bed. The other night while I was in Madison I was watching t.v. and noticed Family Guy was on. I love Family guy because they use hummor to get a point out. This episode down below shows how struggles inside a family happen and how other people get pleasure from watching this. Much like today's society we like to watch reality t.v. and we like to see the struggles that one family may go threw. One part of the episode I would like to point out is the part where Meg, "the daughter", feels that her family doesn't care about her feelings. So she takes them onto this show to try and help but that only makes the problem worse. Instead of listening to what Meg has to say they ignore her and start this reality show. Fame and fortune comes between the family. This episode shows a very important life lesson. Can't Find the Video Clip
