Is this really to sell tires? The theme is great..think before you send that message!

Another favorite!

After watching many of the ads...it was difficult to pick my #1. So I will include three of my favorites today..enjoy! Being a parent and a huge Star Wars fan..gotta love it!

One of my favorite's commercials from 2011.

I love this commercial...hilarious how snickers uses the celebrities and reality TV to endorse the product.  Feel free to post a comment below!  What do you think?

11-2, 11-3, 11-4, 11-5

Use Chapter 11 as reference to complete questions.

11-2.  The video camera/camcorder job is to convert incoming light into recognizable pictures and translate those pictures into an electrical video signal.  List two of the four ways the video signal is created.

11-3  List two ways the videotape recorder handles interlaced images.

11-4  List the three camera support systems that are used by camcorders and pick one to define.

11-5  What is the term white balance?  Many of you while out shooting your commercial actually had to do this with the camera.  (If your group did have to white balance?)
