Grrrrr.



I can't believe this little piece of advertising I saw yesterday that my school just put out. It's terrible! I was appalled when I saw it. The lighting is so-so and the camera movement! The camera movement its terrible has the maker of this clip not heard of cutting? Those are just some of the issues I have, an advertisement should not be more than 2 minutes in length. This feels more like unsolved mysteries than an ad for the school. OH AND LETS NOT FORGET THE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS! The song at the end is on a CD that has not even been released yet. I doubt they asked the artist for the use of the song. DENNIS! You like your reading the whole time, DO A VOICE OVER!

I'm not going to go into what I think the Sociology course at this school does to the students enrolled in it but from the ones that I have witnessed I don't believe there will be any 'better helping' coming from them. These systems that they want to be fixed generally can't be fix by us 'western folk' unless we go and invade the country, and well we all know what happens then. Honestly it saddens me to know that the guy who made this thing is one of the senior film buffs in the communications program here. But that's what we get for not specializing I guess.

did the college approve this or did that teacher do it on his own? There were a few pts that make you think however this seems to be rather one sided and if that is how he teaches that is a shame.

Yea I believe they did because its a new major. I have only had one class with him so I can really say how he teaches

It was horrible hey? If they wanted to advertise for it, they could have done A LOT better of a job. At first, I was like "cool" then the zooming in and camera shake really bothered me. Couldn't they have just put the picture and did that voice over to eliminate the distracting shake? Ah well, what do I know? It would have been 10x better if it was A LOT shorter.

Not a fan.

Good analysis. The camera work was shoddy (not compared to my own skills, but then, I'm not all "communicationy"), and... well, you covered it pretty well.
