Advertisement & Persuasion

My Video: Nikon D5000 Advertisement (2021) – YouTube

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques:

My project is an advertisement video for the Nikon D5000. I made it because it is something that I have, and something that I am interested in. I love to photography, and found that this is a really good camera to use if you are just starting photography, or don’t want to spend over $1000 on a camera. It is a really good camera to use and has a long lasting battery. I chose to do a video because I love doing cinematography and editing. This ad is trying to make you to buy this camera because it is the best for entry level consumers and customers. For some persuasion techniques, I used Logic, (By using Facts and information) and Ethic (By using quotes from a professional photographer who has used the camera for a long time).

Core Competencies:

  • I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. – I understood what I needing to do and made in a way that was clear and clearly tells what I am trying to do and what the product is.
  • I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experiences. – I made a camera advertisement, in a filmed format. This connects to how I am an experienced cinematographer and editor, but I didn’t get to do any of the really cool stuff with the camera(Like using a stabilizer rig.)
  • I think about what I am going to convey and to whom I will convey it to. – I thought about what I want to audience would want to know, and what they needed to know. I presented it in a way that is easy (Not with all the complicated specs like the shutter speed, aperture, etc…) I tried to keep everything simple and entertaining.
  • I am kind to others, and support others when they need it. – I was kind to the presenting groups and gave them good feedback.
  • I can identify how my actions affect the community or environment and I can make positive change. – I didn’t want to be mean because that is not who I am, so I put nice comments that are true, helpful, nice, and constructive. I left comments that were helpful for each group.

About Me – BIO

Hi my name is Malcolm. This year I am in grad 9 (My first year of high school). Last year I was a Citadel middle school in Port Coquitlam. The reason why I was in Port Coquitlam, was that my sisters was in a specific program and it was easier to put m in the same school so that we didn’t have to do a lot of driving. Now I am back in Coquitlam for high school. It is much easier to drive to one school (Because my sister is a grade above me and was already at the high school.) Some interesting words that describe me are hardworking because I will always do my part in a project and put in a much knowledge as I can. Some of my hobbies include photography. My two favourite camera brands are Nikon and Fujifilm because they have high-end and quality Mirrorless and DLSR cameras. My current camera is a Nikon D5000. I have used other cameras like a D7200 D80 and a D70. They are older cameras, but My dad and I use the D80 for astronomy photography. We have gotten grate pictures and some of them are really good. A person like, Jack Newton is a great astro-photographer and he takes some of the best pictures in amateur astronomy., I use a 50mm, 70-300mm, and a 500mm lens. I also love astronomy. My dad has a 14″ Meade LX200 telescope in our back yard. It is huge and amazing. I like to build things like desks / speakers / houses (I make floor plans and designs and I am building a deck for my house.), I like music (I play the snare drum in the Gr. 4 White Spot Pipe Band) I like architecture, I also like to make 3D models of houses (In CAD programs or with LEGO). My favourite courses that I have had (Before grade 9) have been science and math. My most challenging course this year so far is French because it has been 5 months since we have taken a French class spoken French.

Pictures

My two favourite images are ones that I have taken. They are pictures of a heron that I took in the summer time on a beach in Nanaimo. I like these pictures because it was a really fun experience watch the heron.

Links, Quotes, and Websites:

My favourite websites are Klipsch and Floor planner because Klipsch is a good brand for high quality speakers that I use for designs and ideas. I use floor planner for designing houses, cabins, rooms, and other buildings.

My favourite quote is…

– “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” – Carl Sagan

My favourite video is a video of me playing with the white spot pipe band doing our March Medley, (Which has a March, Strathspey, Real, Slow-Air, Jig, and Hornpipe) in the summer of Covid. I like this video because it was a fun experience to play with the band after a year of practising by ourselves in quarantine. I was on the left playing with the black sticks in the yellow and white shirt on the snare drum.
