PANTENE

1.) Name all the elements you see and hear.

       All of their products has Pro Vitamin formula that moisturizes the your hair so that it will look shiny and healthy. Pantene was the only hair shampoo which provide this kind of treatment wherein it makes your hair healthy and shiny.


2. Where is the setting?

      This was shot inside the Pantene studio where they covered all the walls with white cloth. In the middle of the place, there's a white stage that has a huge PANTENE name in the middle.


3.) Since this was shot using the camera, try to descern the language of the camera by listing the angles (long shot, medium close up, close up) and the corresponding scene that it tries to capture?

      The placement of the camera intended to capture a close up shot in the beginning. Then long shot and the rest was close up.

4.) What is the beginning, middle, and end?

    The beginning of the commercial: Selena was the main character of this commercial wearing a white dress and her hair is curly and silky. There's no music playing in it's background. While walking in the white aile, Selena talks about using the blow drier that makes her hair looks dry. After this, the camera seems to be a long medium shot wherein she was standing on a white stage with a hair blower facing on the side of her that made her hair fly away.

    The middle: The middle of the commercial is where she introduced the product which is Pantene. Saying that the Pantene shampoo was the reason why her hair still looks healthy despite the heat and damaging effects of using blow drier. The Pro V formula was shown in that shot, which locks a moisture inside her hair that makes it strong.

     The end: The ending was, there was no effects of 100 blow dry remain in her hair. She flips her hair and shares how much she loved the product knowing that the shampoo made her hair strong and looks moisturized.  This commercial ends with a tagline 'Strong is beautiful'
 

5.) A commercial is always selling a product. How is this commercial selling its product? what is its most potent way of selling the product?

          What made this product interesting to the audiences was, they chose Selena Gomez as their main in this commercial. The makers of Pantene really knows how to attract their audiences. What made this commercial interesting was the visual effects and the props that has been used. But for me the most potent way on selling this product was they should add more people that can serve as the background behind Selena. They should also pick an area which is more unique and colorful because the setting that they picked was dull for me.


6) Are there memorable lines or visual effects? What makes it memorabe?
     The memorable line for this product is "Strong is Beautiful". While the memorable effects was the blow dry wherein it made some of Selena's hair flew. I also liked how they made her hair more silky and shiny because this urged me to buy their shampoo.

THE LAST HOPE OF THE NEXT GENERATION

           The video that I watched talks about the destruction of our nature. Wherein the future generations are the ones who will suffer because of the present mistakes that we make. We are now experiencing climate change due to the destruction of our ozone layers and the main reason of it's wreckage was pollution caused by factories, vehicles, and fossil fuels. We people destroyed almost 50% of the trees every minute for the last few years. Without knowing it's effect to our environment. Maybe some of us knew but we rather stay aside the consequences because of the present benefits that we can gain like money. We thought that we made progress on developing our world but rather it was the total destruction. We never realized it's benefits until we destroyed everything of it. People will realize all of this when we can't restore any of it in the future. Animal are becoming extinct because of the loss of habitats due to forest fires, destruction of trees, and some of them got killed, skinned to death for the production of clothes. This is kind of sad knowing that the future generations will never get the chance on experiencing the lives that we have wherein there are trees, flowers are blooming, birds are chirpping, plants that can be made as medicine, fresh waters, and breathing a fresh air.

          The message was sent through a video created by a person who realized that our world was sick. He made a video that shows every horrible things that the mankind has done to our environment. He stayed on Africa for about a week, and there he saw how people destroy the trees for money. Almost 50% of the trees got destroyed and many animals lost it's habitat because of it. Let me give you an example: Does some of you know the Amazon Dessert? It was once called an Amazon rainforest. Did you see how much it CHANGED for the past years? Look at HOW MANY ANIMALS may have lived in there knowing how HUGE THAT RAINFOREST is. Oh right. None of the cared about a single one of them. The trees? that are the main reasons why we are still breathing a fresh air and provides medicine? We never deserved all of this in the first place and yet we continued to destroy all of them. 

          The audiences that the guy are referring to are us people who lives in this current generation. I believe that  we are the root of all the destruction that we made for the past years in this earth. Examples of these are: 1) Killing the animals. This problem may lead to the extinct of some species and  2) Putting down trees. Which can cause either a flood or soil drought. 3) Building factories that let’s out bad chemicals through the air. 4) Turning our waste into the ocean which causes water pollution. Water pollution are the number one cause why the fishes and other sea creatures die. We bought the destruction and we should restore it. In order for us to survive, we should let the nature revived. Betraying nature means betraying ourselves. Destroying nature means destroying us and our children. A little reminder for us is that NATURE SUSTAINS OUR NEEDS AND OUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

          Sending this message is very effective in a ways that this made me realize a bunch of things. This made me encourage to participate some of the organizations that helps to restore our nature. It is quite sad knowing that we can only fix the trees and oceans, not the animals that are extinct. But let us look at the positive side, that there is still hope on saving some of them. All we need is to protect them by sharing this awareness to other people for them to have more knowledge on what is happening to our present world. May this video serves as an eye opening and give hope to the people who are willing to help us restore what we've lost.

           The title of the video is "DEAR FUTURE GENERATIONS: SORRY". Which I highly recommend for you to watch this awareness especially if you are the kind of person who cares for our nature. Always remember that NATURE IS US because WE ARE ALREADY PART of it.
