Today in West Civ. we watched and then compared two different commercials advertising for Baltimore, Maryland and Los Angeles. They both left out a lot of information that would affect the tourist's decisions. For example, if the visitor would have been told the crime rate and the poverty population of the city, they would most likely change their minds. But Los Angeles's video was more detailed, vibrant, and colorful resulting in a pleasant appearance. It was creative, showing an entire days worth of activities. While Baltimore showed a few different places in a different color scheme creating a less appealing look. They both tried to appeal to different age groups, while the commercial for Los Angeles showed activities for all the age groups.
These videos gave our class, examples for our own video advertising Athens or Sparta. We are allowed to create a poem, song, commercial, tri-fold board, and etc.
