Group 8 :Sportmanship

This advertisement also atrract to me a lot.First, the background music is really match for the topic.And I think sportmanship is important for every sportman,so it's a good way to promote this topic by creating advertisment. Second, group 8 put a period of video in the begining,and then do some effect to make these video turn around, it's special!!

Group 12 : Animal Adoptions

Actually,the topic is familiar to our topic-pet care. They focus on animal adoptions,and I think they provide enough informations about how to avoid and solve the problem. In addition,their pictures are used in a good way. Besides, their prints are also creative.

Group 11 : Handicapped Help

I enjoy watching this advertisement!! In the video,the gorup filmed by themself,and their presentations are different from other grooups. All of group member were appear in the video,it's interesting! But they didn't put the URL on the PSA,it's really pitty.

Group 10 :Carpooling

Speaking of this advertisement,it's a fuuny one!! All pictures and prints are use cartoon characters,they are very cute and give us different vision feeling. I think they presented the topic very clearly,and the end of ad has a strongly effect ,it make me remember this advertisement deeply.

Group 9 :vandalism

In Taiwan, we can see a lot of vandalism every place,like tree, table, wall and so on.In fact,it's not suitable, so through the video, they tell us lot of drawback about vandalism, and pictures they used are very copious. I really enjoy this presentation because the ad and the introduction is detailed,too.

Group 7: animal abuse

"Stop abuse them" is the role gist they want to tell people. I see some adventages and drawbacks in the video.First, the background music is suitable ,and they put captions on the advertisement, it is good for people to understand what they said.
But the drawback is the connect of last picture between next picture is a litte delay, maybe they can pay attention next time .

Self-evaluation: pet care

yeah~finally we finished our final project:PSA. At the begining, we have no idea about how to creat an advertisement even though after we saw examples,we were thought about how to present our topic,in which way? After a long discussion,we decided to focus on dogs.

Many people saw movies about keeping pet like puppies and decided to have one, but when times pass, they just throw pets away,and in the end ,those pets have no place to live and no food to eat, mercy killing is their result.

We want to tell people souldn't throw pet away easily, we should repect life even they are just animals.When we make a decision to keep a pet,we should take care of them and regard them as our family,it's a very important term.


I want to say "thank you "for my group members,because of everyone's cooperation,we finished this challenge and got praise from Aiden!! WE REALLY DID A GREAT JOB!!


In the project,I took responsible for editing background music and storyboard.Both of them took me lots of time and really tired me,but actually,when I complete it ,I felt the sense of achivement!!

Group 6: Exercise

I think this PSA did a good job, and their backgroup music are very sepcial and shock!! but in the end of the advertisement, i don't know that it is already finish.
Through this ad, i considered that exercise is really important for us!

Group 5: childabuse

The childabuse is a serious topic nowadays,we can see this kind of news through television everyday. I think group five found a good way to express the feeling from the children who were abused,those photoes have strongly effect to show their helpness. The music they use are also attractive,and their prints are conform to the topic.

Group 3: Littering

"This is our dear home, not your trash can"
I like their slogan very much,it's creative. The topic is give animals a clean environment. From pictures, we can see that the enviroment where animals live is so dirty,so i consider that those photoes have warning effect.
To speak of prints, the slogan is not clear enough becase they use black color. But it's good that they put all informations on prints,including website and phone number.

Group 2 : Homeless

Actually, the PSA give me a feeling: this group didn't finish yet!!
why? you can see that from the storyboard, they didn't put on contents of records, they just put some pictures on storyboard.
But i don't mean that they did a bad job,i think the background music is good, and the content of discussion are plentiful.

Group 1: teenage suicide

More and more teenage suicide nowadays,group 1 provide some method to avoid it happen continuelly, in the end of PSA, they gave resolutions and i think it does work. Besides, i like pictures they used, they really warning us, and after saw this advertisement, i felt we must face the problem. on the other hand, their ad had an effect of remind!! But the drawback of this PSA is that the voice of records are so samll that i can'y hear very clearly.

Taiwan-TV-Programs

The main message of Group 10's podcast topic is Taiwan-TV-programs.This video is really interesting and successful.One host,two professors and tow audiences.TV programs in Taiwan has many kinds of them,each program has its own special points and advantages.
The quailty of this video is great,they speak very loud and clear,I can understand what they expressed,and this topic also attract me, the show invite two experts,they shared their opinions with the host,besides,there're also has two audiences,the reporter asked them what they are whatching.
The show did't use any background music during their talking show,but I like their opening music so much,and the ending music is also great.The part I like most is their advertisement times,it's so funny and let everyone laughing.
If Group 10 is given the chance to do another presentation, I would suggest Melissa,to speak loudly and slowly,it's a litte drawback about their presentation.
I want to share some programs that are socially relevant and I want to talk about raasons why I enjoy watch them,First one is ,"studio-classroom",this program is broadcast everyday on GOOD TV.When I have time,I'll watch it and reading this meagzine,this English-teaching program can help me improve my skill.Second,I like to watch"a college student yet?"This program also be introduced in ths talkshow,I enjoy this program because I can know a lot of thing that I don't know before.Everday they talk about different topics,and all of this topics are really relate with us,college students.Third,"大陸尋奇"is a good TV program for me.This program introuce the scenery and culture in China.We can understand more detail about China on this program.

On the hand,some TV program are useless and harmful.We watch them just for laughing and we can't get any advantages after we watch them.For example,"藍色蜘蛛網",there're many soapere playing on TV,I don't like to watch this kind of program,it's waste my time. Furthermore,I think the news in Taiwan is not worth to watch.Everytime I turn on a television and watch the news,I always see that many political person are arguing and declaim againts to each other,I'm really disappoint with those political person.

Taiwan_News

Team 9 is taking about the quality of news reporting.News play an important role in this day,but I don't like the news media in Taiwan because they are out of control,it's overflow.Let's talk about the quality of this show,their recording is very clear and I like their background music,it sounds really relax.I think they did a good job on this recording.But in the end of show,two host just said good bye and there is no ending music,it's a pity.I like their show and really interested in this topic,I think all of people should concern with Taiwan news media.


Yellow Journalism is a term first coined during the famous newspaper wars between William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer II. Pulitzer's paper the New York World and Hearst's New York Journal changed the content of newspapers adding more sensationalized stories and increasing the use of drawings and cartoons.Ironically, the term "Yellow Journalism" is partly credited to Pulitzer's involvement in the conflict with Hearst. As we are all aware, Pulitzer is now famous for his awards of outstanding journalistic achievement with the Pulitzer Prize.
