Response to Videos

I can see that the students from the last class put in much work on their projects. They all turned out quite nicely. I found the Rich Rodriguez Press Conference the most effective. It presented a clear message that Rich Rodriguez does not know what he is doing, and it was pretty funny seeing the two actors taking his words out of context and putting on a humorous spin on them. The “interview” was easy to follow, and it had a professional quality to it. After the interview sequence, there was also a conclusion that summed up the purpose of the video to make fun of Rich Rodriguez. Finding a purpose was helpful for seeing the point of watching a two-minute-long video.

In addition, I also liked the zombie apocalypse video. First off, I could understand that the video was about a zombie apocalypse, so the clarity of the message was there. In addition, I liked the music that accompanied the video since it had a catchy tune. The theme of music also plays into the Joaquin video, since I liked the background music. Thus, I like videos with music. I particularly liked the sound in “The Conversion” because it was so dramatic and made the entire video dramatic. It was also humorous that the actors made “The Conversion” so serious, as if this incident would end life as we know it.

In conclusion, I liked the Rich Rodriguez video because it had clarity of purpose and humor. I also liked the fact that the Zombie Apocalypse, Save Joaquin, and The Conversation video clips had music in the background. Overall, good job to all student videos.
