Fred's V-Day



The world can be very depressing so there is nothing better than watching something that can make you laugh. So to get in the spirit of V-Day I wanted to find a video that celebrated V-Day. What I found when I was searching for V-Day video's were videos that mocked V-Day. I can totally relate to this bacause even though I have a significant other I dont see the purpose of setting one day a side to tell or show someone how much you care about them. I think that you should show someone how much you care about them everyday. But oh well it's just one more day to get you to spend money. So that is why I will be spending V-Day at home with my honey, eating a nice non-expensive romantic dinner.

Anyway enough about me lets talk about the video! First of all I liked it because it was funny! I laughed a lot. The reason that I laught was because of the voice over that was used. It reminded me of helium from a ballon after a person sucks it into their mouth and talks. But whoever did the editing did not do a very good job of maching the voice over with the mouth movment. I really like how the shots never really had the kids entire head in the frame. This type of framing made for a good visual and was the same ole, same ole. I really like the story and how present day it is by using texting as the form of communication. I know from self experience that I say more in word form than I do talking, say like over a phone. So it makes sence why the girl was made very mean in text form. What I really like about the video is how it makes fun of V-Day and brings to light how V-Day, if you are not in love can be so sad for some.
