Commercial Analization

Commercials are usually annoying as in one day they are reapeted an infinite number of times. Nevertheless, if you were to watch them once on the internet, they might amuse you. This way of seeing them I actually like to do so. you appreciate them more because on the internet you can search for funny commercials and not some boring thing on the tv. The fact that I now search them for being funny makes them have less impact on me because I take them as a joke. For example, the Pepsi commercial is kind of funny and I know that it is still a bad drink. So what I do is watch it, laugh, and then I move on. This one goes with probably all commercials I watch.

After watching some commercials on the internet, now we are asked to create one of our own. This is going to be real challenging as for the moment I wouldn't know what appeals to the audience. I would probably use a comedy tone for my commercial. I await many challenges for this commercial. I expect that in one point I will not know what to do. This is going to be the greatest challenge because getting stuck with no definate way to go or as there is nobody guiding you, thinking of what I will do next will be something that I would probably spend a lot of time doing.


This is my favorite of the commercials because of the work put into it

One Day at Earth Video

My video is taking a little more than expected to finish. Nevertheless, a theme can be extracted from the video can be extracted. Moslty, my pictures were of nature and pollution. You can guess from what I just told you what the theme is. Life. Life is in its beginning of its end. The message trying to be delivered in this video is that life is to an end and we as humans should do something about it. I know this is not a very original theme as many have been done with probably some of the same pictures as I used, but what the hell, I am trying to help the Earth so yeah... Ill probably have the video in 18/Nov/10 so if there are any followers of my blog posts (which I doubt), then wait for it.

Making a video is harder than it looks, just like many other things. First of all, for this type of video, you need to do things in steps. First of all, you need a theme of what you are going to do, and thinking of an original theme that you like is way to hard. Second of all, you need many images. Now, gathering the right images for your specific theme gets really boring and therefore making it harder than it is as you don't want to gather more images. Later on is the actual video. In the actual video, you put the images in a certain order but, the images should go specifically in some order if you want to make them more interesting. For this you need an audio track that fits your video theme. Now, right now you can begin to understand how hard it is to make and "average looking video". Now, just imagine trying to do one with real good quality (content quality). I don't even want to talk about it. So, if you are going to make a video, you must have a lot of free time on your hands

One Day to Tell All

I think the video entitled One Day On Earth posted on Youtube is a very touching video. I really liked the video. So many things happen in one day you probably only know less than 1 % of what really happened in the whole world just that one day. Most of the things that happen are horrible and tragic things like death yet not all is sadness and grieving. A small part is happiness but nevertheless, you don not know when those things will happen to you so you should enjoy every second on your life. I guess that is what the message of this video is. You should enjoy every minute of your life and if you are one of the lucky people who have not suffered real grief, then forget your problems and enjoy your life. For those who are in grief, understand that there is only one life you live and you should enjoy it at its maximum. In my personal opinion, I think every person should follow this message.

In the video there was some guy with one leg but he is high jumping. This was a very powerful short clip. The guy who was legless comes to show you that no matter if you are somehow crippled, you can still achieve many things and by doing so, enjoy them. One video that I did not enjoy looking at and that it did not gave me such feeling was the busy corner in the city. There was really no feeling but nevertheless it was a great video.

L/100K per Car

Last day I was instructed to find out how much L/100K my parent's car used just to get me to school. Apparently, my car waste pretty much gasoline. Also, this is just for my parents drving me to school. My parents are busy people and are always on the road. I cant imagine Just how much is polluted and wasted.
We were also instructed to find out the L/100k of an energy efficient car. I was ashamed of my car when I found out about how much my car wasted compared to the energy efficient car. Now, imagine all the cars in the world doing the same or more than I do. My only comment is that this is not going to end well.

Apparently my car uses 16.8 L/100km and the nergy efficient cars use 7.8 L/100k. They use half as I do.
Also, I can see that oil sometimes is wasted like in the past year's oil spill. I do not consider this when I go into may car because I know that even if I get into my car or not, oil is still processed and might be spilled again. It would only be another incident in which I dont have authority of any kind.

Fuel Wasted


Every year I go to school about 185 days throughout the whole year. Mostly, I use a Chevrolet TrailBlazer. I've calculated how much many litters of gasoline I wasted per day approximately going to school from my home to there and from the school to my home. That result was multiplied by 185 and apparently I found out that I wasted 1087.8 L of gasoline approximately. My dream car which is a Mercedes-Benz (a city car), wasted even more than the TrailBlazer. The Mercedes wasted 1172.90 L of gasoline per year. This is 85.1 more litters than my actual car. With gasoline prices now, I approximately waste 1,000 dollars per year, and that is just my folks driving me to school. I can only say that it is no wonder the economy is so low.

2009 Mercedez-Benz (dream car) 18.1L/100k 3.17L 15.85L 586.45L 5278.05 pesos
Trail Blazer 2002 Chevrolet 16.8L/km 2.94L 14.7L 543.9L 4895.1 pesos
Ford Escape Hybrid 2011 6.9L/100K 0.5L 2.5L 92.5L 832.5 pesos

Mazda Tribute Hybrid 2009 7.8L/100k 1.36L 6.8L 251.6L 2264.4 pesos

JOY

Recently, I bought a bunny as a pet in Mexico. I think that the most joyful thing I have done this year is play with th bunny and so on. Nevertheless, I would have liked to go skydiving and feel danger right next to me. Sadly, not everything becomes reality. So, if I weren´t to do these things and I should spend time with you, you might notice that I am a very good listener. These are some joyful things I have inn mind for myself.
