PSA comments - group 11 - Handicapped Help

The topic is about Handicapped Help. I enjoy their video. The emotion which narrator express is good, and the background music also match their video. Through the video, we can know how important that the disable people need help, as same as their print ads. It's a great work.

The topic of group 10 is about carpooling. I was attracted by their topic, but not the video. The background music is not matched, it also started and ended suddently. The transition of the music is a little bit strange. I think they still have more rooms to improve. As for their poster, I don't get any messages.

PSA comments - group 9 - Vandalism

There theme is about vandalism. Their video is attracted to me and I really enjoy it. The speaker spoke in the right emotion and clear, but it's not aloud enough. Vandalism is really a serious issue we should care. We can see it everywhere, and people just do it for fun, for commemoration. However, they really hurt the original environment.

PSA comments - group 8 - sportsmanship

Group 8's topic is about sportsmanship. And I am one of the member in this group.
Through this video, we want to tell people what the meaning of the sportsmanship, and it also connect to the Kaohsiung World Games in 2009. As for the poster, we present it in two ways, one is positive, and the other is negative.

PAS comments - group 7 - animal abuse

Group 7 's theme is about animal abuse. Their video still has some rooms to improve. The voice of narrator ended up suddently and it is same as the background music. Moreover, it showed too many negative photos, it will make audience feel frightened rather than take classes to help the animals. And, I don't like their print ads. The contents of the print ads is too complex. It seems that it still have something want to say, but they cut it up.

PSA comments - group 6 - exercise

The topic of group 6 is exercise. The music they used in the video is lively, and matched the theme. But, it ended up suddendly, it will let the audience feel too astonished when they watch this video, so I think it's a pity. Moreover, the tone of the narrator is too soft, I suggest that she can speak more lively. It will be more persuaded. The rest is ok. As for their print ads, I like it. It really gives me a idea to have some exercise after I see the print ads.

PSA comments - group 5 - Child abuse

Group 5's topic is about child abuse. I like their video, and I think it's a great work. The voice is clear and loud enough, the background music is matched, the tone which narrator used is approriate. Anything is great. It seems that it's a real ad which have play in TV. However, I don't like their second print ads. It gives me a feeling of warm, and gives me a wrong idea on child abuse, so that when I see the child abuse, I won't call 113.

PSA comments - group 4 - Pet Care

The theme of gruop'4 is pet care. I think they did a good job and I really like it. I like the plot they used in the video. It is impressive. I also like the tone which narrator used. When I heard " no body ", my tears almost fall down, it really gives a strong message. By the way, the video didn't give the contact information at the end, it's a pity. As for their print ads, it didn't attract me, and I think it can be more simple.

PSA comments - group 3 - Littering

Group 3's topic is about Littering. I like the way that they use first person, speaking as animals. Besides, the backround music also matched the video, and the narrator spoke in the right tone. That's good. I also like their print ads. They use the red color on "not" which give a strong warning to us.

PSA comments - group 2 - homeless

It's group 2's PSA project which is about homeless. I think their PSA video is ok but not appealing to me. I found that there are some grammitical mistakes in the video. I think they should be more careful for the reason that this video is going to be showed in the public. It's not allowed to have this kind of mistake in the public video. Their print ads is ok, it connected to their topic and video.

PSA comments - group 1 - teenager suicide

Group 1's theme is about teenager suicide.They use many pictures to enrich their video. It's good. However, I think that some pictures is not necessary to be used. Besides, the background music definitly match their theme, but I suggest them that they can use the function " fade in " and " fade out " , so that the audience won't feel too astonished when they watch this PAS. I like their print ads, it connected with their video, and it also gives us more space to think about the teenager suicide.

poem - To My Friend

funny photo story

Hello, This is Vivian. Mmm...., I am going to tell you something.



Actually, when I was a child, I'm very ugly, just like golem. The hair is sparse, and had a ears like elf. Becase of this, my childhood is cheerless.

In order to make me live colorful, my parents worked hard and earned a lot of money. They stored those money. Until I was 18 years old, they uesd those money to let me have a face-lift. Then, I became the most beautiful girl in the world.



After I had a face-lift, it strated to have the scouts asked me to sing the contract with them. After I considered for a long time, I decided to join the TV show -- Top model, because I wanted to prove I am the most beautiful girl in this world!

At last, I succeeded! I am the NO.1 of those girls! And I became the super star!

LooK!!! I am on the cover of magazine. Oooh, by the way, the reason why I had a big belly is that I had constipation, not pregnancy.

Besides being a entertainer, I also played a role that is a hero who protect the earth. I often help the police to catch the terrorist with my bow when I had free time.





Look! I am so famous that you can see my pitures everywhere.
