The Good, The Bad, And The Photo
The Good
This is the good photo i believe, because it has all of the key elements that i explained in class today, it has clarity, focusing on the cactus. Contrast , lots of nice different colors, and light. Emotion, it reminds me of a nice relaxing day at home, and finally Perspective, it was taken a little sideways, from above, and in macro mode on the camera to emphasize the cactus
The Bad
I think this is a rather poor photo, it is blurry for one, it has no contrast,or good angles. Although it does have an emotional style of dreary or glum. i also think its a bad photo because it has no good lighting, and its really boring. you cant also really tell what it is, unless you are a guitar fanatic, or you took the picture. but then again the interpretation is up to the viewer.

Van Halen 2007 Tour Commercial
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xIntpv66EgI
1. What do I see?
I see all of van halens old music videos, EVH, david lee roth, wofgang van halen, and alex van halen all jamming as if it were the 80s. The video is in black and white for the majority of it, and there seems to be almost no new pictures of the band.
2. Who created this message?
Van Halen, and Live Nation Productions
3. What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?
they use a monster truck guy voice to get me pumped for a van halen concert, even though i think those voices are really bogus. they also use the fact the eddie van halen is one of the best guitarists in the world, to make me wanna go and buy van halen tickets.
4. How might different people understand this message differently than me?
People who arent interested in van halen might not care about this message, or they might just turn off the tv. thats the thing about advertisement, if its an awesome ad, it should have the ability to totally change someones opinion on another thing.
5. What values, lifestyles or points of view are represented, or omitted, in this message?
Rock and roll is definitely a key value in this commercial, but where isnt it a key value?? i thought so. another value is entertainment, if people werent entertained by the band then there would be no need for the commercial.
6. Why is this message being sent?
this message is being sent to advertise an upcoming concert tour for van halen, so basically they are trying to sell me tickets.
7. Finally, how can I review my insights and summarize my ideas about the message?
The commercial was made for the sole purpose of getting me to buy tickets for a van halen concert.
