Week 3: Topic 2

Topic 2:

The two commercials that I have seen on TV the past few days that really stood out are the Flex Seal commercial and a drive sober ad. The Flex Seal ad has a guy with a loud voice yell what the product does. They also show a demonstration where they cut a boat in half and use flex seal to put it back together. It actually looks really cool on the commercials. The drive sober ones show a story of kids who go out and don't think that anything will happen when they drive with a little alcohol but end up killing someone. That commercial is really moving.

The target audience for Flex Seal is anyone over 12 years old who would like to have rubber in a can to help fix things around the house like plant pots, gutters, etc. The target audience for the drive sober ad is for anyone that drives a car and thinks about drinking alcohol and driving.

The persuasive techniques used in the Flex Seal ad is, having a loud good speaker be the main guy and showing cool examples like cutting the boat in half and putting it back together with flex seal. That is what caught my attention. For the drive sober ad it was making it look like a real situation where a family was killed in a car accident and how it affected everyone around them. How that one kids action affected tons of people. That will persuade anyone.

I believe that they have both worked because of the message that it has put across. Flex seal has been extremely successful and well known for their commercial. The drive sober one has made big impacts in keeping the road safe and has put out a great message to the people.

Week 5: Topic 1

Topic 1: 1)          After watching the video, the first thing that really surprised me and caught me off guard was how many groups and artists have stolen the beats from older songs. When he first plays the loop of a Led Zeppelin song and the loop of a Muddy Waters song, you can tell that Led Zeppelin used some of the beats and words. Also the Rolling Stones taking some from the song “this may be the last time” recorded by a folk group in the late 50’s. These are two top bands that are widely known for their music and some of them isn’t even their original stuff. I love these bands and to see that kind of ruins the originality of their music. About a minute farter into the video it talks about the “happy birthday” theme song being a copyright issue, where if you play that in public you technically own royalties. I myself would owe tons of royalties. The next surprising information I learned that personally effected me, is the shut down of Napster. I used to use Napster back before i

Week 1 Topic 2

Topic 2: My three main source of information are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. These are my go-to resources because they are so quick and easy to access. I am also already on those websites to connect with friends. While I am on there to do that there happens to be access to many different areas that I can pick up on the latest news. People tweeting about it or posting about something that happens in the world. I log onto twitter and it pops up the top streaming topics through hashtags. It could say something like #chicagoshooting and all I have to do it click it and it takes me to tons of different areas to read about what happened. If I am watching the news or something to her this information, I have to go through commercials and wait for the juicy news details. When answering the question "How reliable is the information?" it becomes difficult. I do not believe everything I see on social media because a lot of information put on there is very bias towards what is h

Week 1: Topic 1 (About me)

Topic 1: My name is Colton Cosner, and I have just left my two years at LBCC. My major is business and I need these last credits to complete my AAOT. I am at LBCC for baseball and have really enjoyed my time here. My career goal is to become a business owner or graphic designer one day. I am most interested in learning about the impacts that social media has on society. With how fast it is growing and how little we fully know about how it has effected us, I am excited to learn more about it. I am most passionate about baseball as my outside hobby. I played for two years at Linn Benton and am currently playing in Bend for the summer. Baseball has given me many opportunities to do great things and meet great people. It has opened doors for me, and I am excited to see where it takes me next.
