TV Ad Analysis

Advert: Lynx

its just a guy who is staring at a woman while eating sushi. that is in short terms but this is extremely different to the other lynx adverts where the guy spray the deodorant onto himself and 50 half naked women charge towards him, also set in the present. this one is more slow paced and has a black and white tint showing this might be a flashback or set in the past. this is slow paced but saying that, it does speed up some segments of the clip. i really don't understand why they did this and mostly i don't get how this represents a can of deodorant. but i think it was a well put together advert but i feel like it has no message.

3 minute Documentaries (Three Minute Wonder)

Sleeping Rough

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Wua6gCcOY/

This documentary is about what it is like to sleep on the streets, it shows that it isn't the nicest thing to do. at the start it shows the rich estate with housing figures facts and comparing it to the one of the highest ranked places for homelessness in England, Bournemouth. he sleeps for one night on those streets to see what it is actually like. it turns out the experience wasn't very pleasant due to the temperatures and sleeping on the concrete floors. he is trying to promote what it is actually like to be homeless so people are aware.

pros of this documentary:

• Very Informative - contains numerous facts and figures
• actually experiences the situation - like some documentaries, they just talk through about it and don't experience it.
• the editing wasn't overkill - so now filters, no fancy text. it goes to show that he wants to provide the information instead of showing off his editing.

Cons Of This Documentary

• some parts i did struggle to hear properly - needs dialog
• huge transition gaps - one minute he is in the town center and the other minute he was at the beach

Free Running

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ch3L7N_SXc/ 

This documentary is about Free Running, where basically jumping and climbing over stuff. i really didn't extract much information out of this, it was really difficult to learn anything from this. what i did understand that he is in a group of Free Runners and he is teaching others how to Free Run. only a few facts were mentioned. i think he is trying to promote Free Running and just its pros. which as mean as it sounds, in a documentary, you have to look at both sides!

Pros of this documentary:

•  No overkill editing - nothing too fancy
• visually shows what the documentary is about

Cons of this documentary:

• Lacks facts - has a huge limit of facts
• Was difficult to understand
• was all over the place, so one second he was talking, the other second he is climbing a wall and the other second he walking?

Life

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0fy6plSOk0/

This documentary is about life, at start i thought he was going to go on about how bad life is for our humans but over the basis of the minute and a half, he was actually talking about extinct animals and constantly throwing questions at the audience. with this one, it is all audio based, the video was literally him looking around a museum looking a artifacts. personally i found this documentary very boring and not catchy at all. great information and great questions but it  has not kind of effort in my opinion.

Pros of this documentary:

• it was deep - some of the questions were deep and got me thinking
• it was on topic - he wasn't talking about life while providing us with information with cars.

Cons of this documentary:

• He didn't express well on what he was going to talk about
• the video wasn't interesting - it was just him talking over a video of him walking around a museum.
• He was stuttering too much - not judging but he was stuttering too much in this video. when i commentate over a video, i keep doing it until it is perfect, which i feel like there was a lack of effort in this documentary but i can feel like he is trying to tell us something.

Documentary Proposal + Research

Documentary Idea: Video Game Addiction

A addiction is where a person or something has a stuck mind set of a certain topic. so in this case video games. as it is easy to get stuck into gaming. its to the extent of the equivalent of being addicted to heroin.

first thing i did is google "video game addiction facts". the first thing that came up is 8.5 percent of Americans between the ages of 8-18 gets addicted to video games. so that is roughly 3 million people.

THE GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDED TIME INTERACTING WITH A ANY SCREEN IS A HOUR A DAY

Link: 1

the first thing it says is that if a game who is addicted to video games shows a irritable behavior so this includes, nagging and forms of aggression. this can be verbal aggression and physical aggression deepening on how bad the person is.

can cause eye strain. can really damage your eyesight.

poor personal hygiene. depending how bad the person is again, the person would prioritize pretty much over anything for gaming. so lets take a scenario. you wake up, your room is a mess and you need breakfast. the boy/girl has a console/pc waiting to be played.

a normal person would: get dressed and wash etc. and have a decent breakfast without cutting corners or rushing and sit down for a hour and play a video game. come off it without getting fixated.

A Addicted Gamer Would: just get up, depending oh how lazy the person is, get dressed (no properly) and mostly forget about breakfast. then mostly spend most of his day on his video games.

these long term effects can be, failing you GCSES (which happened to me), destroy your social life (happened to me) and don't have the skills to work etc.
not sounding mean or anything but i know some gamers who literally have no life can't even create a non gaming discussion and are life stuck into playing video games. also lack of drink can cause dehydration and dry mouth (where you can get your words out clearly).

The worst part of gaming addiction is that overtime, you can get extremely depressed and end up doing self harm, suicidal thoughts and you just feel like you don't have the will to live.

playing video gaemes can lower your temper span causing you to flip out very quickly

the clip below shows how angry some kids get over a video game. here we have a adult recording gameplay of a famous game known a minecraft. it is a server so multiple people can play on it and this kid gets so angry and end up smashing his mums laptop.



the second video is where a addictive adult who skipped college for months and his dad noes all of this guy's video games

(completely staged by the way but it does reflect well how some people would act in this scenario)



this last video is of a kid that refuses to come down as he is fixated to paying his xbox one. the parents had enough and grabs his xbox and literally takes a shotgun destroying the xbox one. this is a extreme punishment but this is maybe the best way to deal with a kid who is overly obsessed with their video games.



Survey
i did a quick survey to find out how much people play video games. i got 4 responses on the survey and i also asked how much money they spend on video games a month!

secondary research

i would class myself as addicted to video games. but i wouldn't say i'm bad to the extent of needing to mow over my video games. i usually spend around 3-6 hours a day on video games. i do other stuff like the genial thing but i mostly dedicate most of my free time to video games. but i have seen people in face who are life dedicated to their video games and they are sometimes hard to socialize with .
