"Lifestyles of Clemson"

I watched a video that was done showing how there are all different kinds of lifestyles at Clemson. The three featured types of kids were "the gym rat", "the average joe" and "Hefty Lazy Kid". The video showed different times of the day for each student and the differences they had in their lifestyles. The overall message conveyed was that although all of the boys were completely different they were all still Clemson Tigers. This video attempted rhetorically to show that everyone is different in college and there are a lot of different lifestyles that people have. This video comically showed three stereotypical lifestyles and given the limited resources in my opinion did a good job. The music used was very popular at the time of the video and added a fun feeling to the video. The rhetoric strategies used were mostly logos and pathos because the message conveyed is pretty straight forward but at the same time relays the message by mostly using comical strategies.
The way that the video is split up into different sections reminds me of the comic book type style that our class is doing. By comparing each stereotype doing what they normally do at the same time of the day makes it easier to compare and point out the obvious differences in the characters. The ways that the kids were compared mostly had to do with eating and exercise habits which makes this video also have a message that has to do with a happy medium between too healthy and not healthy enough. So this video has messages, to maintain a healthy balance and to realize that everyone is different. This video has a lot to do with showing stereotypes compared with one another and will help my group figure out how to compare stereotypes in an effective way.
