Week 8 Blog Project

For our blog project, we ask that you watch this short youtube video to test your awareness. It was used as a commercial for raising awareness for motorcyclists. We ask that you pay very close attention to the video the first time, because it really is amazing how many people are so unaware of something so obvious. So go ahead, take the Awareness Test.


***Please watch the video before reading the rest of this blog post!***

So what did you think!? Was it what you expected? Majority of the people that watch this are completely oblivious to what is really going on. How does this relate to class you ask? We simply want to raise your awareness. To look beyond the obvious, and focus on subtle details that you might not see the first time around. You can apply this towards your papers, or life in general. So, we have to ask, did you fall for it? Do you think the ad does a good job at making you realize you need to be more aware? Or does the advertisement actually have nothing to do with being aware? Do you think there are any other ways you could apply this to your papers or class in general? What did you think the video was trying to point out? Do you think the audience got the message?

Week Five Blog Project (fixed and updated)

Hi, Everyone,

This week my group will be showing a video called Black Hole? It’s a great film.

What are the messages you get from this film? Do you think the man got what he deserved? Did that help him? What would you have felt about the commercial if the man had gotten away7 with his crime? What do you think the black hole mean? What would you do with a black hole? When given great power how do you think most people will respond?  Try to answer these questions and tell us your thoughts about the film.

Fourth Week Blog Project

Hello everyone!

This week, our group is going to present a short film named Partly Cloudy to the class. The video is 5:02 minutes long, and was included in the Animation Show of Shows in 2009.

You may get puzzeled the first time you watch it, try to watch it again, and think about the underlying meaning of the story.

I would not say anymore before you watched in order not to affect your judgement. Different people may see from different standpoints, and there is no only correct answer.
