My dad's immensely successful, but consequently was rarely there for me when I was a kid because he's always on business trips/working. Whenever he was home he was too stressed/tired to want to talk to me so all I ever saw of him was his bad side and grew to resent him.
I'd much rather have had a dad like that little girl has. They look like the happiest little family despite their troubles and I envy that.
inb4 I sound like a spoilt kid so I don't know how bad money troubles are. I moved out 2 years ago and have been living support free ever since while still attending uni, I've hit $0 in my account while having rent due simultaneously on a few occasions now I think I've since learned the value of a dollar.
Yes, but with three hours you have more depth, and you have more time to set-up greater emotional resonance.
The only reason Hollywood blockbusters are not as affecting is because it's (sometimes) not what they're going after--but most of the time it is because they suck.
I'm not entirely sure what ethos means, but I would have chosen that video where there's these chinese guys, the dad and the son have a really rocky relationship and the son eventually just leaves because his dad was being a dick. Then he gets in a construction accident and becomes a paraplegic. His family has to take care of him, and suddenly his dad helps him learn how to walk again.
Holy **** . This hits too close to home. Usually things don't make me cry, I'm a fairly tough guy, but oh my god this got me good. Actually crying right now.
"Ethos (/ˈiːθɒs/ or US /ˈiːθoʊs/) is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology."
The other two are Pathos and Logos for experience and logic respectively. For Pathos just think of an infomercial. Spilled drink? Use the Shamwow! For Logos imagine a commercial about investments or something. But this and you'll start saving $$$. Your bills will go down! Anything that uses evidence or reasoning is Logos. This is a really dumbed down version, though. You could just google it if you want more specific stuff. Most ads are a combination. It's hard to only use one method to persuade someone. Even in these videos where there's no Logos, there's still Pathos. Yeah they're obviously emotional, but you can also relate if someone has ever helped you in your life, especially when you were desperate or if you were ever desperate and really wished someone had helped you. Or if you've ever helped someone in need. Or for the video he was referring to it relates to anyone with a father, wants to be a father, or is a father.
Ethos one of the 3 persuasion methods from Arostotle. It uses your emotions to persuade you. Mostly these 3 are used for advertisement, at least in my experience. Sometimes, but not often, in debate also. Basically the ad uses your emotions to get you to buy their **** . It's really less awesome sounding than you think it is. I'm assuming his project was simply choosing a good ad that gets you emotional. Probably included a presentation and short explanation.
what, as in recommendations or something? I do see that having it embedded and therefore more seamless is convenient - but I'd have expected, at least content wise, that a nice HD youtube video would have a shot at frontpage.
I suppose in comments - but also youtube videos in content never make it anywhere near frontpage. And youtube videos are often way more HD than half the ****** webms people post
Yeah youtube has better quality but for really short videos and videos that are already ****** quality(like vines) they don't really matter. Whole videos are better in mp4 for that reason since they can support better quality. I believe the standard for webm is 360 while mp4 is 720, but I could be wrong.
Those animal commercials make me sad.
Those starving children commercials make me sad.
But stuff like this... Stuff like this makes me bawl my eyes out every goddamn time. The power of human kindness is scarcer than suffering.
or to get you clean from what ever addiction you have or better yet get you on a new one thats more expensive i wish we had some positive motivation in our media thats not trying to steal from you
Every time I see a car commercial I always think "Why? Who the **** sees a car sale commercial and goes You know what? That's a great deal! I'm going to go buy a car!?"

We've eliminated all national wars with globalization and come to the aid of those in need from natural disaster around the world. We go into a country where they hate us, and shoot at us, and endure it- refusing to take the fight to their churches and only shooting back when being shot at. Human kindness is everywhere. It's human suffering that is scarce.
The one that always gets me is where theres an asian girl that gets made fun of for her deaf dad and eventually he cuts herself and the dad gives his life for her daughter.
That's just...
