PSA

Ok, well PSA is very different than a daily commercial. PSA means advertisement in television or radio. For me , the main difference is that a PSA mostly teaches you something and a commercial doesn't. For example, a PSA could be of only a commercial of selling things, and a PSA is a commercial but of drugs, or alcohol, something similar. Another difference is that a PSA is mostly about safety, ways to prevent bad happenings, and a commercial is not about safety. They are similar because they both can be on TV, radio, etc. Another similarity is that they show something, or sell something but one to ware and the other one to use in your house. In conclusion, doing a PSA is much interesting than a regular commercial, you know why? Because you can provide stories and it is much more mysterious.

In my PSA project I would like to be with a lot of people, but I am only going to choose 3. The people that I would like to work with is Fernanda Corzo, Paola Fregoso, and Ximena Mendez. The reason why I choose these 3 people, is because we understand each other, and we work hard but fun at the same time. We are very creative and special in doing these stuff. I think, we would make an amazing project or video. It would be funny and it would definitely have a important fact or teaching in it. Another reason is because we live very close, well not Paola, but it's ok. I think we are going to make and amazing project in this quarter.

List:
-Alcohol
-Drugs
-Safety in Homes
-Driving Drunk
-Trusting the correct people
-Anorexia or Bulimia
-Low Self Steam

OK, honestly I love all of my ideas because they are interesting, and they provide a lot of learning and interesting facts. My 3 best ones though are Alcohol, Drugs and Trusting the correct people. The reason I choose these 3 is because they personally relate to me. Not that I do them, but my friends, etc. Another reason is because I know me in my partner are going to do an excellent job with these themes. We would make a very reasonable and interesting video that provides amazing examples.Trusting other people, is like trusting your friends and making sure they don't actually use you for what you have. I am experienced with this problem and I would love to make a PSA, in alcohol and drugs too. Well, I hope my teacher chooses the correct PSA for me. I am 100% sure that we are going to do an amazing job on it. I am so excited.

3 PARAGRAPGHS

I had a lot of favorite Super Bawl commercials, but I only can choose 3 of my favorite and explain why. My first favorite was the Volkswagen-2011-Dark Vader commercial, (http://www.superbowl-commercials.org/3561.html).
The reason for that is because it's quite funny and interesting. Like seriously, who would come up with a great idea like this one. This commercial made me think of my young age, which was a great memory. My other favorite commercial was the one called Brisk-2011-Eminem, (http://www.superbowl-commercials.org/3125.html). The reason why I love this commercial is because there's a famous person in it and it's very unique. There is not a lot of commercials where you make people look like cartoons. Another thing is that this commercial is very funny and weird at the same time, its says that he hates commercials but he is doing one. My last favorite commercial is called the Doritos commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjaOUjUPUc
I liked it because its very funny and it surprised me. The reason why it surprised me is because the dog wanted the doritos so bad that he broke the door to get them. This shows that you have to fight for what you want. In conclusion, these 3 commercials are absolutely fantastic and well made. I hope I could do one like those some day.

I would definitely change the Volkswagen Dark Vader commercial. I am not saying I don't like this commercial, actually I like it a lot but it is the commercial that I would change a little to get better. First, I would change it to be more funny. For example, instead of the little kid just turning on the car, I would made it follow him or something similar to that. Another thing that I would change is the song of Dark Vader, I would another one, something more mysterious and loud. The last thing I would change are the faces of the mom in the video. I would make her look much more surprised and happier. I think, definitely that if the video would change a little like I said, it would look much better. It would look more funny and satisfying.

There was a tone of commercials I loved. The most satisfying one that I liked was Hope's commercial, the Monster commercial. The reason for that is because as you herd before, I love funny commercials, and this commercial was definitely funny. I understood the commercial very well, because there was a lot of commercial that I really did not understand. Another reason is because it had very good explanations to why you need to buy the drink Monster. For example, when Courtney can't make a "goal" in basket ball and she drinks Monster, and she makes like 10 of them. Yeah, the commercial would be much better if she put more explanation, but it was great. At the end, she made a quote that said: "Unleash the animal" or something like that. I loved that quote and I definitely loved the "RAWR" at the end. In conclusion, I loved Hope's commercial, it was great and very nice to see.

Commercials

There is a lot of commercials that I like and don't like. The ones that I really loved are the Dove and Apple commercial. They were very funny and they left me thinking after watching them. Another reason was because they make u feel better (dove). The ones that I did not like were the car one and the language one. They did not leave me thinking or something similar. I really did not understand them. Some powerful commercials are the ones that have music as the background that matches the moment. Another thing is that powerful commercials have to leave people thinking, have to have examples of a person or something, it would have funny moments, or it would illustrate an emotion. Honestly the one that stick out in my mind was the dove commercial true colors. I find it very interesting and satisfactory. It was amazing and very true too. I really loved the dove commercial, people should make more of them. These commercial is a great example of a satisfactory commercial, it leaves people thinking. It leaves a great message to women. It makes them feel very good. It has a really nice music background that goes with the moment, etc.

My commercial is going to be similar as the Dove one. The elements that I am going to use is funny, satisfactory, surprising, truthful, etc. There is a lot of challenges that I aspect like who am I gonna use? or how am I going to make it look surprising or that it leaves a message or people thinking. Another challenging is the effects or making it look like a real commercial, or making it look professional like the majority of them. My commercial is going to have music as the background, it is going to illustrate an emotion and it is definitely going to look professional and satisfactory. In conclusion, I am going to try to make my commercial the best one ever or making look professional.

Rome & Juliet Paragraphs

I really think this Rome and Juliet project was really fun. Priscila and I did act 4 scene 1-5. It was a very interesting and important part in this play. The process was sometimes easy, and other times difficult. First, we started to read the play, we finished and we lade out all the most important parts in act 4. We did the tittle, took all the necessary pictures and we finished the dialog. After we started to edit the pictures, organize everything and insert the dialog where it was suppose to go. We checked if everything was great and we finished. I loved everything we did in our project, mostly the way we edited the pictures and how we did the first page of our comic, it was awesome. Honestly, I did not dislike something in our project, we were organized, everything was neat and perfect. Doing the comic was easy, the only difficult part of everything, was the time. We did not have a lot of time to do this project. If we had more time, we were going to do it beyond perfect. I really do think we deserve to put our project in the library classroom. Everyone that sees it is going to feel a lot of emotions, laughter, happiness, sadness, madness, etc. Everyone is going to absolutely love it. I think Priscila and I deserve a very good grade, we put so much effort in this project.

Comics are definitely a way to learn about serious literature. I have a lot of reasons why and how. First, well when you do a comic it needs to have a dialog of what the people are saying, and that is complete literature. Another thing is that people might write like a box describing the scene. For example a general explanation of what is going to happened in the chosen part. Obviously, when you finish the comic, the person who did it is going to re-read or check everything again. Reading is a part of serious literature and this is another reason why comics are a way to learn about literature. In your comics, to make it more entertaining and better, some people put animations, pictures, etc. For me seeing pictures and animations is definitely a part of serious literature. In conclusion, for me serious literature is learning how to write, read, and see. That is why comics are a way to learn about serious literature.

Paradise Video

A Day in the Bay

I am going to talk about the amazing A Day in the Bay videos. So, first of all I wanted my theme to be unique. So I thought of unique themes, and the only theme that pop in my head was PARADISE! I choose this theme because a paradise is beautiful and it bases on the setting of things, something I absolutely love. In my video their is a paradise of my house, the beach, Cancun, a picture of Vallarta from an airplane, etc. In my opinion the theme "paradise" is the best theme ever. I am going to be honest, I did not consider other theme, as I said before, the first thing that pop out of my head was the theme paradise. It just spoke to me. In conclusion, I really loved my theme, I think its the best one of all. It unique, awesome, and incredible.

The process was easy in some ways and hard and other ways. First you start by choosing the idea of the video, what theme? etc. After you choose if you want to do it in your mac or in the school computers. After that when you choose does 2 things, you start putting the tittle and making the video. By putting photos, video clips that last no more than 10 seconds and the music you choose. You start putting the transitions, and making the video look awesome! You put as much photos you want and video clips. And after, you finish it and you export it. In my opinion it is easier to do a video in a mac than in a school computer. It is funner too. In conclusion I had so much fun doing this paradise video.
