Blog #19: Critique a professional example

1. the most successful element of this work sample is when the narrator is talking the video matches what he is saying.

2. The message of the work is how dolphins are being slaughtered in Japan, and the Japanese people not even caring or paying attention to what is going on. I know this because the government isn't even doing anything to stop this and in the video the narrator talks about how the school kids just walk on by as the dolphins are getting slaughtered.

3. The audience could be anyone who cares about dolphins ranging from teens (like actress Hayden Panettiere who tried to help the dolphins) to old people (like director of "The Cove" Louie Psihoyos, the film is about the dolphin slaughterings in Japan). I know this because many people love dolphins and who would want to see them get hurt and people young and old are trying everything they can to save the dolphins.

4. They show really sad and grafic images of the dolphins being taken away to get slaughtered while the narrator says how the mother and baby dolphins cry out to each other while being carried away, it just makes it sad.

5. they used alot of images and information to capture the audience's attention

6. I chose this piece of work because it delievers a good message and gets people interested in the topic and makes people want to learn how they can help (which was what I did 5 years ago, and now i am a member of the Save the Whales Again! a campaign of The Whaleman Foundation.)
