Individual Blog Post #2

Since we started some work with broadcast. I decided to find some old media, and write a broadcast script on it.
THE LARGEST AND LAST STATE, ON THE CALENDER IS UP FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTIES GRAB. PENNSYLVANIA'S’S 158 DELEGATE VOTES HAS CLINTON AND OBAMA IN A RACE TO RALLY SUPPORTERS, AND WIN THE MAJORITY OF UNDECIDED VOTERS. IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE CLOSE OF THE PRIMARY CLINTON HIT IT HARD WITH A COMMERICAL DEPICTING HISTORIC IMAGES IN OUR COUNTRIES PAST, AND QUESTIONS THE CAPABILITY OF OBAMA INDIRECTLY, SAYING “WHO DO YOU THINK HAS WHAT IT TAKES?”

ON THE OPPOSING SIDE OBAMA CAME OUT USING A HARSH, CRITICISING TONE TOWARDS CLINTON, AND THREW IN A FEW EXTRA DOLLARS FOR ADVERTISING IN PENNSYLVANIA. OBAMA’S BIG QUESTION, “WHO IN TIMES OF CHALLENGE WILL UNITE US-NOT USE FEAR AND CALCULATION TO DIVIDE US?”

PENNSYLVANIA, FOR NOW, HAS TURNED INTO A PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION BOXING RING. CLINTON WILL HAVE TO WIN PENNSYLVANIA IN ORDER TO STAY IN THIS RACE, AND MOVE ON TO INDIANA, AND NORTH CAROLINA, ON MAY 6. EVEN THEN IT STILL DOES NOT UNSURE CLINTON’S PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

This weekend I decided to step outside of my regular routine. The weekends, I believe are for fun and friends. I normally will hit up the coolest nightspot with my best girls and have a crazy good time. However, last weekend I was given the opportunity to do something very different. I went to a Latin salsa club. I found the hardest part of the experience was making it in the front door. I was extremely nervous because I was going into a place I was unfamiliar with. In addition, I was not at all comfortable with my salsa dance moves. After my friend and I went in we mixed it up with some of her friends; who were all very welcoming. After the evening was over I released my preconceived notions were completely untrue. I thought I would be walking into a very ‘hard’ bar, where people would not be very excepting of an outsider. In the end I was extremely comfortable, and had a blast.

Cosmetics and Advertising...WOW!

Chanel Advertisements

I was surprised to these Chanel cosmetic ads. In particular the one on the left. The girl in the ad appears to be extremely young, which I find appalling considering the explosive sexual nature of the advertisement. In addition, IT’S LIPSTICK! Why do our cosmetics need to be rooted in sexuality? I had pretty similar feelings concerning the ad to the right.
