Video Observation

           For one day I mostly spent my time watching television, playing on my phone, and later watched Netflix at night. During the day I was watching Disney channel with my little sister Julia. All of the shows were about kids or teens with some sort of unordinary life whether they had a talent, superpowers, or a talking dog. All of the characters also wore very bright clothing that fit with the bright backgrounds and happy looking homes and schools. Many of the messages these shows were that family and friends are very important. Disney really tries to have a diverse cast, however, most of the characters are unrealistically bright and happy most of the time. Boys and Girls mostly contain their stereotypes, however, a lot of the time they have the same friends and even do the same things whether it is the same sport or music. Other than the voice of the characters, there are many sounds in these kids tv shows to enhance whatever is happening. There is also an audience that laughs throughout the show to get the audience more into it. During commercials ( very long commercials), I went on my phone and played some of my games. They also have video ads every once in awhile, however, after a set amount of seconds, you can skip the ad yourself. On the Kim Kardashian game you can also choose to watch ads to gain more money or stars. I have also seen some ads that you can actually interact with or have a taste of how the game they are advertising really works. The commercials on Disney channel, when I actually watched them seemed very long and boring. Most of the are the same repeated self advertising commercials every time. You can basically predict the order of each show advertisement and even eventually know what they are going to say. However, very little are there commercials about anything other than the next new Disney tv show or movie. This is probably why the ads are repeated so many times. The great thing about Netflix is that there are no annoying ads that interrupt you. There is a huge variety of all kinds of shows and movies.
