Today I am going to talk about the 3 variables of photography.
The first variable is camera angle.This effects the image because if the photo is taken at knee level it will make the person look big and strong while they might be the nicest person on the world
Next variable is lighting.Lighting plays a big role because if you shine the light on someone from the right their left side is going to have hard shadows and it will make the person look like their on the dark side.
The 3rd and final variable Is proximity. This will change how much of the person you see and how much of the details of their face,clothes etc you see.

The camera angle in this photo i think is face level but to the side a little bit. This will make the person show one side of itself. The lighting is above his head to the right. This makes the other side of him dark and seem mean.The proximity is is cut of just below his chest. This makes the picture look almost like a id photo.It looks like this photo is in a battlefield and he is in the army. He also wearing a grenade on his shoulder.Seems like he is looking far in the field for his enemy.

I really don't know what message they want to sent to the viewer but to me he looks like a mean person that has a lot of power.

This is an advertisement about a energy drink called Cheetah. Cheetah had a contest where people could make a commercial about the drink and upload it to youtube and this commercial came in 1st place!
The commercial starts off with a boy looking on his mid-term exam answers when his dad shows up and starts asking him if he is cheating, then the boy tells the dad i am drinking a "Cheetah" than the dad slaps him and walks away.




The techniques of persuasion i thought were:


Humor:I think they did use humor in this because the dad used the banana as a phone.


Family:The 2 people were related as son and father


Celebrity: The person that played the dad is "Jus Reign".






I think the technique that is the most dominant is humor because the way the that the boy fools his dad that he is not cheating on his exam.






They used humor to get people to laugh that's why the dad used a banana as a phone. They used family because they wanted to.They used celebrity because it was a home made video and the dad organized it all.


I really don't think that this helped the product that much but it was a good laugh but at the end they do talk about the product a little.

Need For Speed The Run Review

There's a whole lot of America between San Francisco and New York City. Need for Speed: The Run's greatest achievement is the way it sometimes captures the thrill of hitting the open road and experiencing the varied beauty of the American landscape, from the mountains and the prairies to the small towns and skyscrapers. Unfortunately, issues arise that sap some of the momentum from your cross-country trek, but The Run spends enough time doing what it does best to remain an enjoyable journey.

.

You play as Jack Rourke, a racer who has gotten in way over his head with the mob. His friend Sam promises an end to his problems if he can win a cross-country street race and the huge payout that comes with victory. Sadly, The Run's attempts to make you care about Jack's plight fall flat. The talents of actors Sean Faris and Christina Hendricks as Jack and Sam are wasted; their voices emanate from character models with mouths that move oddly and faces that express no emotion. What's more, the story doesn't even make sense. Certain rivals whom you pass early in the race show up again when you're in the home stretch. Thankfully, after an early cutscene that sets up the premise, the game wastes little time with its flimsy storytelling and lets you focus on driving.

The cars in The Run feel good to drive. The wide range of vehicles on offer includes sports cars that respond tightly to your every command and muscle cars that are tough to tame, but regardless of what you're driving, racing in The Run is about balancing speed with control. Sure, you've got highways on which you can gun the throttle and cruise at top speed, but more often than not, you're on stretches of road with some tricky turns. Using your brakes effectively, maintaining a smart racing line, and speedily exiting the turns is crucial to maintaining a good time, and it feels great to put these powerful cars through their paces.

Unfortunately, you may sometimes find yourself in the wrong car for the job. With a few story-related exceptions, Jack can only change cars at gas stations, and in some stretches, these are few and far between. As a result, you may get into a muscle car to power through a stretch of highway, only to wind up facing a particularly twisty road that the muscle car is not ideal for in the next event. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that there's no easy way to return to an earlier event that offered a gas station and choose a different car. If there's no gas station in your current event, you're stuck, and must make do with what you're driving.

Blogs have three purposes, to entertain, to inform and to persuade. I have made a list
of some blogs that fit into these categories. 

http://www.eurogamer.net&1000awesomethings.com. These are blogs to inform people.

I chose these two blogs because they both tell people what is going around the world. The first site has information on newly released games and The second site has pretty much what the URL says, it has one thousand random facts that are very entertaining, some are funny, others are just plain weird. 


lifehacker.com and www.engadget.com are both blogs that are to inform.

I then chose these two blogs because they have a lot of good information. The first link is about how to take the easy way or shortcut in life. The next site keeps you up to date on EVERY technology news in the world it has every thing from cell phone releases to new laptop technology.


   
redstate.com and http://www.michaelmoore.com/blogger/mmflint/ are both blogs that are to persuade.

These two blogs are both blogs are to persuade because the people are telling there own perspectives on some topics. The first blog is about people that reflect on news posts and give advice in how to take action. The second blog is about a guy named Michael Moore, he posts about his life experiences and helps people with those experiences. 

Hey World, my name is Darashdeep. I was born in India,But now I am in Canada and I have been living in Canada for 11 years. My hobbies are martial arts and sports.

I joined martial arts when i was in grade 5 and I have been playing martial arts since and I am hoping to go to the yearly tournament in Toronto and hopefully take home gold.

I really don't like to play video games that much even though I still have a PS3. I think its sort of a waste of time.

So far I really like this school I have even made some new friends.


Thanks for reading
