    GE Genaral Electric commercial-Wind Energy

    1.The message being presented is that GE is making wind turbines to transform wind into energy, and they are making it useful. This is because of the message they gave at the end of the commercial, “Capturing the wind and putting it to good use.” They also put a picture of wind turbines while they were saying that which produce wind energy.

    2.Yes, it was effectively presented. This is because you could clearly see that they were talking about wind. They did this by showing that the little boy was trying to capture wind in a jar. At the end of the commercial, you can tell they were probably talking about wind energy, because when the boy opened his jar, it blew out all the candles on the cake, which was caused by the wind.

    3.This stood out to me because you can’t catch wind in a jar, and I thought this was an interesting way to make an advertisement about wind energy.

    4.Here are some of the things that are being left out of this commercial:

    •The cost to build and install the wind turbine.
    •Wind turbines can be quite loud at times.
    •The blades of wind turbines can be dangerous to birds.

    5.This video was made to promote GE and its wind energy/turbines.

    Aashi…Your inquiry inferences in #4 were very interesting. I thought it was a cool ad too…very effective and funny at the same time.
    Thanks for your hard work!–Mr.Woods

    The message being presented is that they are using the solar system to get the electrical energy to run the car.
    The ad was affective because it was showing me that it came from the sun and it showed me how the car gets the fuel. And it shows me it comes from the solar power.

    it stands out to me because it helps the environment, the animals and the plants.
    It helps to stop global warming.

    They could have shown more things for example a house, a boat and an airplane running on solar power.

    The video was made because to show people that use the solar power.It serves to all human being and to environment.

    Tesla Model S
    1. We need to buy cars that doesn’t hurt the environment by using gas. It promotes us to renewable sources of energy such as sunlight.

    2. This advertisement was presented effectively because you can see how the battery went in the car and how it came out. Even though, the family wasn’t talking I knew right away what they were doing.

    3. This commercial stood out to me the most because I know a little bit more facts about Tesla motors than the other two commercials.I think its interesting how they were really creative and made a solar powered battery for a car.

    4. The people who were left out of the advertisement are the elderly people and the disabled people because it would be more difficult if a individual who was handicapped to go back and forth to put the battery in. Its hard for the elderly because they cant move as easily.

    5. This video was made so you could buy the car so the environment could be protected from pollution caused by gasoline made by cars. If you buy this car you will be happier and the earth will be safer./Adults that can drive and who want to protect their future or their kids futures by not creating pollution. Another reason is wealthy people because the car is very expensive .

    disadvantages In Norway in the summer it is midnight sun and in the winter there is no sun

    I think the message of this video is that wind can be captured and used to create clean energy . Yes I think it shows that the wind can create energy and it convinced me. This video stood out to me because I like the they filmed it and the story was very loving. In my opinion, I don’t think eny thing was left out. I think The video was made to tell people that GE is using wind energy and turning it into energy, so the video serves GE company. 🙂

    Sources of renewable energy:

    1.What is the message being presented?

    The message being presented is how renewable energy sources will make everyone happy. The “Nature Giant” who was going around putting the sources of energy was elated, the air around him was very clear, etc.

    2. Was it effectively presented?

    It was effectively presented because you could see him planting the sources of energy in the ground and how each of those sources (i.e. windmills or watermills) was using the environment.

    3. Why did this stand out to you?

    This stood out to me because they were showing many different ways and their impact on the environment in a very creative way; by animating it and not using any words.

    4. Who or what is being left out of this advertisement?

    Things that are being left out include the cost of running all these pieces of equipment, the disturbances it can cause, the pollution produced while building them and how they can only be built in select places around the globe. 

    5. Why was this video made, who’s interest does it serve?

    This video was made for people who love the environment and who want to make the switch. People like businessmen will not enjoy this video because of the price to build the sources. It was created to promote awareness about renewable energy sources.

    6. Please give evidence from the commercial, your own experience or other things that this reminds you of to back up your opinion.

    I agree with the point of view of the creator of this video. We should use more renewable energy sources because they are more reliable, more Eco-friendly and more cheaper than some of the common sources.

    tesla model s

    1. It’s trying to show that that electric cars are much more better than gasoline.

    2.I don’t think it was that efectifly prsented because they didn’t show the price. The car looks very nice and sleek but it probably costs alot because it’s electric.

    3. it stood out because my dad works at ford and they usually make gasoline cars and no electric ones.

    4. The price,Also It dosent always works if theres no sun.

    5.it intrests customers because it’s electric and it dosen’t realease pollution into the air and also it has many other cool features.

    I think the message that’s trying to presented is that not to an energy “hog” and to be a better person to the earth

    2. was it effectively presented?
    To me it was effectively presented with that earth Godzilla orangutang doing energy saving things and making the earth better

    It mainly stood out to me because there was that monkey type species that was doing all the stuff witch makes it more understandable and more interesting

    I think people like factory workers are left out or maybe people tat work fracking facilities.

    Tesla Model S: “Gallons of Light” Commercial

    1. The message that is being presented in the commercial is that the Tesla Model S car is not a oil running car. At the front of the license plate it said “4 GET OIL”
    so probably it is telling that it is a electrical car.

    2. Yes, it was effectively presented because if someone wants to buy the Tesla Model S and needs to now the features of the car, the commercial tells the features. Also, it is a electrical car so you need no oil to fill it.

    3. This stood out to me because this is a “oil free car” so it is making less pollution. It is also helping the envioronment.

    4. The thing that is left out for the Tesla Model S commercial is the tires. It dosn’t say what kind of quality it is or how good it is.

    5. This video is for anyones intrest. Whoever needs a car can just buy one it really dosn’t matter.

    The message is that we should forget about oil and start using the sunlight. If we keep on using oil, we will never be able to control the pollution from emissions. The message was effectively presented because they showed a road trip across the country powered by the sun. The ad stood out to me because this is a car that is powered entirely thru sunlight. It is leaving out how the solar batteries work. I think this video was made to get owners of gas cars to start using electric cars so that they can stop polluting the earth. It interests people who are really into saving the environment and keeping our precious land safe. I think we should all start using solar powered cars because they are environment friendly and the car can go on long trips without the battery running out. The emissions from cars and factories are causing a lot of pollution which is not good for the environment. I hope this post inspires you to go out and buy a solar powered car immediately!!!

    A Telsa road trip
    1. The message is presenting that the new Telsa electric car is the car you should bye because it is a electric car
    so it wont put out exhaust so it wont pollute the earth.
    2. Yes because you could see that they clearly wanted you too bye it and it showed how the family was enjoying it. It also told you that you should bye it because it saves the environment.
    3. It stand out too me because it was a electric car.Also the licence plate said 4get oil witch means don’t use oil bye the car and it charges by solar panels
    4.It doesn’t tell you the cons about the car or it doesn’t tell you deferent car companies perspective or other family’s.
    5. The video is mostly intended for adults because they are the ones who bye and drive the cars but it also could be attended for familys that will ride in the car.
    This video was made by Jordan Bloch.

    In my opinion , the tesla model commercials message
    Is if we continue to use gas to power are cars,some day the world would be (10)x puluted than how it is right
    now.

    Yes, this video does stand out to me because after you watch This video, you will know what the car is capable of .
