Alli Rising- Messy outline


The 2012 presidential election is quickly approach as the presidential candidates are buckling down to gain all the votes they can obtain to achieve their goal of becoming the Leader of the Free World. There have been multiple advertisements that are being produced by each candidate to get their word out about what they will do for our country. Most of the advertisements, however, state what the other candidate may do that would not make him an ideal choice for our country. In one particular advertisement, that was created by the Mitt Romney campaign, gives a negative look on what Barack Obama has done in his four year term.   

Other detailed that enforced that impression was Obama speaking to those that worked at the plant because he was making the promise that the government will make sure that the plant will be there for another hundred years.  The more important part was Obama made the promise twice. The second promise was when the Janesville plant was on the verge of closing. Also having many promises made during Obama’s campaign were broken during his time in Washington.  The images directs the viewer’s eyes by showing Obama speaking and pictures of the people that worked in Janesville showing how disappointed they looked. This reinforced what was important by showing Obama actually speaking about his promises and what it did to the people in the town. The text that was included was words that were just reinstated what was said in the video.  Such as simple promises made, simply broken. The argument that is being made is that Obama made multiple promises during his campaign four years ago but while he was in Washington his promises were broken.

The first thing that grabbed my attention was that it showed the Janesville GM plant and that it had a promise that was simply broken. The color was black and white for most of the video and to me that is very gloomy so it seemed more of a depressing feeling throughout the video. The style also went along with the gloomy feeling which made it difficult for me to watch the video.
