Cool Video ...

I'm from the 80's generation. I just loved this video from How I Met Your Mother, one of the greatest fake music videos in sitcom history (not much competition there, but still...)

Documentary

As an educator at the UPR, one of the classes I teach is a basic freshman course. The students in this couse read some essays on identity and the new life that they will encounter in college. It has been my intention to create a documentary which we can use in class in later years when discussing this topic. My idea is to interview several 1st year students on the first weeks of class and to interview them again at the end of the 1st semester and at the end of their secnd semester as well. Then , if it were possible, interview these same students on their last semester before they graduate. The purpose of these interviews would be to have the students reflect upon their identities, how they perceive and project themselves to others and to have the new students who will see the documentary years later know that they are not alone and were not the first to feel how they do.

Questions on identity might be asking them:
How they see themselves?
How do they think others see them?
Into what category would they place themselves if they could.
(Ex. Popular, geeks, nerds, all these categories of teen-age culture)
Whatis the importance of being in one or other of these categories, if any?

I would also give them free time to express themselves freely.

Activities I would include aside fron the indicidual interviews would be gruop interviews, recordings of groups around campus, "normal" campus life and activities.

I don't think I'll have difficulty capturing the "truth" and reality in the activities recorded. Teen-agers are true to themselve spretty much on or off camera. But, the group intervies might cause a bit of doubt, since we all know how some students can me influenced , intimidated or cohibited by others. But the whole point of the group interview is just that, to observe teen-age life and reactions at it's true context. The individual interviews have more of a possibility of being more honest and true, if the student is really being hin/herself.

I felt that most news were not thorough enough and that there was a lot of advertiseing. I also noticed a pattern in the commercials the first and the last were always the same in each segment. Thre interruptions of commercials.

Advertisement-for Parents

advertisement-Parents

This ad is definitely targeted toward an adult audience,specially parets or future parents. It's another language academy stressingtheimportance of learning English. Discourses- white mid-size family,age(30's40's, maybe older) It could also be targeted towards grandparents. It's tellingthe audience thatignorance can be 'dangerous'. Or basically telling the audience to NOT be ignorant or be made fun of.

Advertisement- Porfessional

Berlit'z great funny way of telling young men and women that if you wnat a good job, or to retain theone you have, you must learn English. In a way it is saying that it is a responsability to learn English.

Advertising Auto

This car advertisement is mainly for a adult (25's30's)audience. Directed towards people who work, since the characters are getting ready for work inthe morning, or at least that's what it looks like. he's in a suit, she's dressed for the office. Dicourses here-White professionals, who went to college, live in the suburbs, love action or are driven (do whatever it takes) to reach their goals. It's funny, therefore it implie sthat it's okay to be adventurous or even believe in the saying that "the means justify the ways" The song "Happy Together" should also make you think that the car will make you )and your relationships) happy.
