The below video from a previous
year is a Clemson English 103 project and it is to show the negative effects of
drinking the night before a test. The audience
supposed to watch this was college students because it brings to though how
much can one party the night before an exam. Overall,
it seemed effective in their strategy. It was
effective in how it compared three different ways to party the night beforehand
and the consequences that followed.
Simply
put the video showed a correlation between the amount one drank and the grade
they would receive on an exam. It is
easy to see the negative effects of drinking the night before an exam. They appeal to the viewer because the viewer can
relate to the problem that is present.
The video is also effective because the content is presented in a story
line format, making it easy to follow and to understand. Also the music choices helped with the mood of
the video. The music seems to be loud
and annoying over all during the parties to show that parties are loud and
annoying .
One thing the video does fall a
little short on is it’s a very example in a larger problem. It only shows the negative effects of
drinking before an exam. It doesn’t account
for the externalities that can follow. Also
I don’t feel that showing the effects of drinking the night before an exam was
the most effective. Most students would
be smart enough not to drink the night before something as important as an
exam. I feel that the argument would
have been stronger if it showed greater negative effects.
Overall, the video was effective in
displaying the message that drinking is bad in a witty and humorous way. And it is an easier video too watch because
the negative effects are minor. Which
this allows the appeal to a greater audience.
