Comment for Group 12 PSA

I like their last music, the music is lovely, however, the recording quality is bad. I can hear some noisy of their PSA. Those narrator's sound is different, some narrators make their sound loud but others are have small sound. Some of their pictures duplicate of Pet care group, more than one picture. Nonetheless, their lines are meaningful and they arouses us not to desert our pets. I think if people looks the PSA, they would think twice before they desert them.

Comment for Group 11 PSA

They plays those handicap people is fascinating. And the narrator's sound is pleasant, and the video is fluently. Moreover, they show many methods to help those handicap people. The way of the acting is vivid, but the lines of their PSA is not clear. However, the music coordinates with the sound of narrator and the photos. But the two poster is not creative, they just took pictures. Furthermore, the words of the poster is unable to understand very well. Because the form of word is vague.

Comment for Group 10 PSA

The sound effect is too noisy, but I like their music. Their music is lively but the music is louder than the narrator's voice. They should make their voice louder so we can hear clearer. The pictures are various, and it makes the PSA like an advertisement. I think the narrator's speak is fluently and clear. If the music didn't cover the narrator's voice, that would be better. One of the poster is funny, it uses cartoon to show their slogan, but the word of green color do not coordinate the background, so that it isn't clearly. The other poster is no interesting, I felt nothing to this poster. I think their poster should be improve.

Comment for Group 9 PSA

Many people are done this before- vandalism, included me. This video arouses people to maintain our homeland beautiful. They puts short news into the video , it makes the PSA more vivid. Also, the narrator's sound is like a sense of justice people's voice. And the sound and the voice are connected very well. The video are fluently. Although I like their video, I don't like their posters, it looks a little bit ugly, and even rough. So they need to improve their poster design, or they would have perfect words.

Comment for Group 8 PSA

The sound effect is funny and the B sound is very interesting. I think this group is very creative so that they use the effect to backward. They're most full of many good computer players, because they puts many different videos and also pictures together. And the music is enthusiastic and powerful to show the sportship. The two posters are very good, they uses the muscle hand to represent a athlete and the colorful background symbolize drugs. Another poster is also interesting, an injection shows drugs and the shoes are humans. Those poster are very delicate. Moreover, they are full of creativity , and I like their PSA most.

Comment for Group 7 PSA

I think those pictures are horrible, it shows people's cruel. When people saw those pictures, we want to protest it rather not hurt them, it rises our sense of justice. Nevertheless, the recording quality is bad, because it intermittently stop and then it start to begin. On the other hand, the narrator's sound is full of emotion, I like this voice. The other post is too horrible to see, so I can hardily see those pictures. If they can make those pictures not so frightening, I think it would be better.

Comment for Group 6 PSA

Although the color of words are rough, the music is very wonderful. They puts the energetic sound and sound effect to make this video fascinating. Moreover, the sound makes me want to exercise and the pictures shows how fun exercise is. But I think if the narrator can make her voice more energetic , that would be better. She also needs to make her voice louder, so that the music won't cover her voice. Those pictures what they puts into the video shows humans ability to strengthen body figure. Those poster are positive and encouraging people to liberate our self. Just like Aiden you said that the words are uses in the right ways, the soft words are good for girl and the strong word are good for boys. They shows how happy those people feel when they are exercise.

Comment for Group 5 PSA

Those pictures are good to put into the vedio. They puts lots of children who suffer abusing and the others are the innocent child who looks at us. It is very good to express the children feel. However, the narrator's emotion puts too much, so that I feel a little bit weird, and some words are pronouncing wrong. That needs to be improve. The sound and music is clear and good, but I think the voice is sort of loud. Besides, one of post is strange, because the child's shadow looks like ET. For the black sky and the lightning, it looks like ET. And the other post is not good enough, they puts a baby's photo, and the baby is smiling, which symbolizes a happy family. If the child uses an innocent eyes or begs us, it can show their emotion better.

Comment for Group 4 PSA

I like to watch this PSA, and this PAS is so cute. The slogan is good, pet is not your toy , it is your family. I think everyone should think this way if they want to throw away their pets. They puts a lot of stray dogs and some of dogs live in the ditch. I think people will feel sorry for them because their environment is too poor. The narrator is very cute, sometimes she rises her voice and sometimes she makes her voice soft. The emotion is changable and rakish. There are two posts , one of combined four photos togeter, but the color is not good-looking. However, I like the post that two stray dogs in the box most, since we will pity them due to their eyes, it shows how innocent those dog are.

Comment for Group3 PSA

The quality of the recording voice is not good, because there is too many noisy, and the music not combined with the recording sound very well.
But the narrator puts a lot of emotion into PSA. And the most interesting way is that they try to stand animal's way to tell us what animals feel. The post is very good, the quality of the photo and the words are mixed with the photo clearly. And those photo are meaningful.

Comment on Group 1 PSA

The theme of this PSA is to warn people not to commit suicide. This vedio tells the consequences of commit suicide, after a person commit suicide, the problems are still their. Furthermore, families and someone who loved the person will suffer more surrow. So it tells us try to think twice before a person is going to commit suicide.

This vedio use questions to make us think deeply, and the voice is soft, so that we moved by the vedio.

Two of the poster is good, because it looks like a photoraph, the color is bright enough and the word are very clear.

But I don't like the other two poster, one of these is bule post, the word is unclear and the color is n't special enough.

Evaluation

I love this work, although our work were not the best one, but this time, I saw a huge improve on ourselves. We disscussed it for over 10 hours, and we also changed our plan many times, however, one of our group members gave us a great idea- to creat this film by playing a drama.
We wanted to make funny effects, so we used some funny custumes to play by a humor way.
However, a fluent show were not so easy to make, we had rehersaled it for 13 times. It was a tired time of making this film, because when we got home, it almost 10:00 p.m.
Although we felt tire , after the bitter time passed, we received a sweet fruit- a good work.

Our choosen toipc is about divorce, at first, we found many good peoms of divorce, however, the last choice is strongly moved by our group members, why did we have the same agreement? Because we saw a real life and a pure sadness of this poem. This poem is about a divorced family and it was written by a single-parent boy. Through this poem, we could feel his emotion clearly by reading it, though he uses simple structure and simple words.

A_Picture's_Worth : My birthday of being 18

That day was January sixth, 2008, and that day before I cried all night, because I knew my my friends couldn't celebrate my 18 years old birthday because a huge exam was coming soon. Therefore my both eyes are so swollen like a cattle's eyes. I had a bad day and a bad moon that day, however, when the nightfall came, one of my good friends took me to our study room and we entered there , at that time, all of the dark was expelled by the pulling firecrackers, I saw my friends there and a ugly cake and my presents. This photo was taken by one of my good friends, and the girl who besides me in this photo is my best friend.

That was the best celebration of my birthday I ever had, and I received the most unforgettable cake because it was baked by my good friends : two boys. The cake was made of some cookies and MM chocolate, it is so ugly outside, but the inside is very tender and good tasted. I moved by them because they dropped two classes for making cake,and they made cake twice. Because of them, I experienced the most unforgettable night, I was moved and cried that day. I was full of happiness and gratitude for them to prepared this surprise during the important exam, they didn't forget me. After one year I saw this picture I still could picture it in my mind.

It is a meaningful event for me because it shows how wonderful and precious my friends are and it captured the moment of being an adult. When I saw this picture, the smile always appears on my face, I can recall the great time of my high school life through this picture and the best memories between my friends and I. Those friends are very considerate and understand who I am, so I loved them so much. And whenever I got vacation, We certainly hangs out together. This picture captured so many things, which included friendship, growing up and the tough time for the enrolling exam for university. Speaking of the time, it was very hard, because we studied almost one year in order to go to a great university, however, it enhanced our memories, because the tough days mixed bitter and sweet time together. Through this picture, I can feel that moment again!

I Am Nobody

"I Am Nobody" by Emily Dickinson(1930-1886)

I am nobody,who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there's a pair of us.
Don't tell-they'd banish us,you know.
How dreary to be somebody.
How public-like a frog-
To tell one's name the livelong June
To an admiring bog.

2. Did their show provide solutions to the problem? What are they?

Of couse. There are two solutions provided, one way is choosing and telling good news to be choice, an d the other way is avoiding some bad effect of news like violent or suicide news. Because we have the right to choose what we watch, telling right from wrong news carefully.


3. Comment on the group's podcast.

Basically, this show is a good show to hear, especially at night, because the host and guest both 0wn sweet voice. Speaking of two hosts, their speed and fluency is good, so I can hear very clearly. On the other hand, some of the guests have to improve their speed and pronouce, actually, some of the guests own clear voice and well speed, one of the guests have sweet voice, but the problem is unclearly voice make her like eat someting. Furthermore, the backgound music is interesing and correspondent beacuse they combined the topic and lyrics together, for example,they played the music and the lyrics had"doctor" when they talked about doctor. They do not have too much funny place so make me a little bit feel boring, maybe they can add some funny part to make us refresh our mind. The commercial they played is not enough, I expected more. Mention to the commercial, I think the voice of the actor is too high, if she change the weird way to show, the show should be more cofortable and hormonious to hear. By the way, I like the voice and the engergy of one of the host, and the pronoucing, pacing and fluency all great.



4. What do you think?

4. 1 Search the Internet and look for the meaning of 'yellow journalism'
- What is the definition of 'yellow journalism'?

Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers. It may feature exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, sensationalism, or unprofessional practices by news media organizations or journalists. Campbell (2001) defines Yellow Press newspapers as having daily multi-column front-page headlines covering a variety of topics, such as sports and scandal, using bold layouts (with large illustrations and perhaps color), heavy reliance on unnamed sources, and unabashed self-promotion. The term was extensively used to describe certain major New York City newspapers about 1900 as they battled for circulation. By extension the term is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion, such as systematic political bias.


This news is a typical sensational news of idol, we nearly watched the news related to the First season of Super Star Avenue every day last year. It is the media too exaggerate played and the frequency is also too much.
