What to do different

Collectively:
1. Our group could have all acted together in the ad as opposed to one person.
2. We could have included more informative dialogue.
3. Our video could have also included better audio quality.

Individually:
1. I could have spent more time editing the video.
2. I could have allowed my group to do more work so there was an even distribution.

Lesser of two evils: Using two examples of problems or even solutions and showing the lesser of the evil as the better opinion rather than trying to fulfill the problem.

I Matter

Propuhganduh

1) The dialogue in my film will consist of multiple people being interviewed and saying how inspired they were by my speech and how excited they were to be in my presence. Other shots will include me speaking in a speech but not exactly any real dialogue.

2) My film will be narrated in the style of an old silent movie in that there will be slides to fill the dialogue in some points along with establishing setting.

3) My project will consist photos, photoshopped photos, videos shot for the project, internet photos for background of green screen videos, slides for the old film feel.

4) My project will only have one song for the musical score, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sxTbfeYdO0

5) I created my story board for an outline. I have created a propaganda poster, a $10,000 bill of myself, and recorded sample footage in attempt key out the background (slightly successful(delivering valuable information to Doug Kelin)).

6) I have taken a few pictures including a $10,000 bill template, filmed sample footage, remade a propaganda poster I made last year. I plan on getting more footage and other photos off the internet.

7) The plot of my film is a parody of an old communistic propaganda video. It starts with images of me such as currency and a poster. It then fades into a video of me giving a speech. In between there are interviews of the crowd and their opinions on the speech. After seeing footage of my speech it shows an astounding support from the world. A newspaper that spins in shows I was elected world leader. Clearly not obsolete. The premise of my video is that I matter because the world adores me as their leader and I clearly contribute to the world as a dictator-esque ruler.
