This is the video about the wolves in Yellowstone National Park, which I was talking about in class. I think this is a very well made video, which seems to be a documentary about the effect wolves have on nature, or how nature can change by itself without us humans intervening. The video was created by sustainable human, an organization which helps realizing different kind of projects, which are in the end for the public and inform the people about something interesting, as this video does as well.
I loved watching this video because it has very powerful pictures and a very good speaker, who tells us all about how the nature in Yellowstone works. In my opinion the speaker makes a big difference to the video and increases the interest of the audience; impressive because he is only using is voice, since he is not shown in the video once. The focus of the pictures is completely on the nature and the changes in the natures behavior. The pictures and the speaker go perfectly together, as he is always talking about what is shown right in that moment.
Since we are all in the consumer culture class I immediately thought about how this video could be used as a commercial, or if this video is actually used as a commercial. Basically the video talks about nature and the impact of different elements of the nature on each other, but couldn´t it also be seen as a commercial for Yellowstone National Park? After watching this video I would really like to go and see where this change actually happened and how it looks like in reality and not on TV. So could we also count it as a commercial?
This was beautiful video and it was really interesting to see the changes in the ecosystem. A part of me wants to believe that this is just an informational video, but I can't help but think that this is a promotional video that highlights the beautiful features as well as discuss how "environmentally friendly" the park is. I also feel that while it is good that we can reintroduce species to improve the ecosystem, it is key to mitigate the problems that originally caused their loss.
