Uncanny Valley Short Film

This was a short film about people who ignored society and just lived inside this virtual game. They found that they felt more themselves in the game rather than in real life. They didn't like people and reality looked like a bore compared to this virtual reality. The film shows us two different outcomes of virtual gameplay, both frightening. One where they show the consequences of becoming addicted to the game play. And another where there is the possibility where the game is not just a game.

REFLECTION OF MY SOUL

Group Opinions

1. Make it look more professional by adding a background and maybe saying more facts about the party.

2. The acting could have been taken more seriously because that would of added a more professional and serious vibe that could have made the video better.

3. Make sure that the setting is more controlled because you can clearly see people walking in and out of shots that have nothing to do with the video in general.

Personal Opinion

1. I personally think that I should have not acted, I'm not very good in front of the camera and the video probably would have been a lot better if my being was not in it. I do much better behind the scenes.

2. I think we should of giving ourselves more time to do the whole project, we didn't due the majority of the project until the last few classes and I think that if we were given ourselves more time we could of checked over things just to make it over all better, such as better audio and etc.

Propaganda in Politics

1) Bandwagon: Makes it seem like a lot of people have already joined and there would be great advantages if they joined, an "in your face until you join" method.
Scapegoating: uses guilt to blame one certain group without fully investigating the situation
Lesser of two evils: putting up the idea they want to succeed next to an idea that more worse than their idea
Down with the kids: changing away from the entire truth in order to be noticed by a certain group
Assertion: stating something as fact, whether it actually is or not, with enthusiasm, a modern technique in advertisement
Transfer: effort to transfer from what you respect and approve of to whatever the propagandist wants you to respect and approve of
Omission: leaving out certain facts to make something work in favor of a certain way 

2) Bandwagon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgXL-5z8Cnw; He wants everyone to come together to secure a better future for America.

Scapegoating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoPAOFg2Ig8; Ben Carson blames Obama and Hilary Clinton for the melt down in the middle east.

Lesser of two evils: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqdR6-5_EQ0; He compares what Obama did to what he would have done.

Down with the kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY4y3y_2LOg; He's specifically doing this to get people who are against planned parenthood on his side. 

Assertion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be-WFguCaX8; You can't be positive that what he is saying are facts and not just statements of what he believes.

Transfer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q26LCfLtTBA; Tries to transfer your views on religious liberty.

Omission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYVIu3AHGJ0; He doesn't go into much detail about the events and facts of what he speaks of so for all we know the situations are completely different.
