Photo Analysis

                        madonna magazine covers

This is the magazine cover that I chose for my photo analysis. The model for this magazine cover is Madonna. I think the emotion that the picture is trying to show is inspired, the director wants us to be inspired by Madonna. There's three variables of photography: lighting, proximity and angle. The lighting is coming from above because you can see the hard shadow on her neck, the proximity for this magazine cover is medium long because you can't really see her full body and its not to close to her, I think the angle would be at eye level. The background is simple, I think they used white for the background because she stands out more. She's wearing jewelry like earrings, necklace and a ring I think they show that Madonna is wealthy person.

Commercial

     I chose the T-mobile phone commercial. This commercial shows people dancing while they're walking down the aisle, the company celebrates the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The techniques used for this commercials are: wealth, humor and fun. I think the most dominant technique they used for this commercial is wealth because the people in the commercial were wearing hats, nice clothes, nice shoes and they're in a nice place. This commercial used fun because the people looks so happy and they were laughing. They used another technique for this commercial: humor, i think people will laugh or giggle when they see this commercial because it's weird to see the royal family dancing in the aisle. I think it was a good commercial because at that time the royal wedding was a really big topic.

Persuasion

     Persuasion is when people tries to convince some people to do something. Companies like to persuade too, they want people to buy their products. Theirs many ways companies can persuade people for example advertisements. In class we played a game about different ways commercials can persuade people: humour, macho, friends, family, fun, nature, sexy, cartoon, celebrity and wealth. Our teacher  gave us an envelope, it contains topics about "Persuasion" we need to find commercials that can fit the topic that we picked and we're going to show our partners the commercial and our partners will try to guess what topic it is.

Techniques:

Humor: commercials that can make people laugh.
Macho: showing muscles, usually guys.
Friends: Group of people doing things together for example: playing board games.
Family: showing a family having fun.
Nature: outdoor, commercials that shows a lot of trees, grass and many more.
Sexy: showing bodies, usually girls.
Cartoon: animation of people or anything.
Celebrity: Famous people.
Wealth: expensive jewelries, big houses, fancy places.

Concordia Hospital

        The topic that I chose is Concordia Hospital because many people have been helped by volunteers and other workers there. My sister volunteers at the hospital and she does fun activities with the patients. She really enjoys volunteering. "We believe that we have a mutual obligation to care for each other." (Henry Tessman) Concordia Hospital has been helping people in many ways and I can explain some.

        Concordia Hospital provides health services like home care programs, an emergency department, laboratory services and spiritual care. It originally started as a four bed maternity hospital, in 1928 and now it has expanded to a much bigger organization. This includes Concordia Place,Concordia Hip and Knee Institution, Concordia Foundation and Concordia Village for all the patients. The pharmacy is open 7 days a week, which is convinient to anyone who needs help. It provides multiple types of medicines for diseases like heart disease, renal disease and respiratory disease. All the workers at Concordia Hospital cares about all the patients, they do all their best to help people.
   


         "absolutely we will recommend to anybody, the people there are so wonderful they're truly God's angels on earth" (Barbara Reid)

         "The redeveloped Concordia emergency department means improved care for patients and their families, and leading-edge medical tools and facilities for our front-line health professionals".(Doer) I think its a good idea that they renovated the emergency department because theirs more space for the patients and workers and they can help more

         I think Concordia Hospital is a really good hospital because they care about everyone in the hospital. They renovated the hospital so more people can go and and they provide medicine and place to live for the patients, i think that shows how much they care.

Former Food Network Host Arrested for Trying to Get Homeless to Commit Murder


"On Friday May 7th, police officers were contacted by homeless individuals who said the suspect solicited them to commit murder. The homeless people agreed to help officers in an investigation, in which Cruz revealed to officers the murder-for-hire method, where and when the individual was to be killed, and the terms of payment." via


    Juan Carlos Cruz (host of food network show "Calories Commando") was arrested for asking homeless people to murder. He is being bailed for $5 million. I think that he deserved to be in jail, because he can't just ask anyone to murder. its not right. TMZ has reported that he has tried to  get his own wife killed.
