In your ideal communicative situation, how would you best present your argument?

The best way I can express ideas is through digital media so I would create a digital short, or a commercial representing my argument about iPods and society. I would only need about 2 or 3 minutes to visually argue my point that iPods are a great example of how humans rely on technology. I think that "A day in the life" narrative that used some of Apple's advertising techniques while visually showing how our society depends on iPods is the best way to get my argument across.


I picture a person waking up to alarm clock that is an iPod in an iHome playing music.

You see them leaving the house holding their iPod and putting their headphones in as they leave the house and start their run. A different song plays while they run.

Cut to: person putting iPod in speakers and turning on music. This is either in a neutral room or they bring it to the bathroom while they shower so they can sing along in the shower. The song changes again.

Cut to: person dressed and ready for work, getting in their car. They plug in their iPod and a different song starts to play as they drive away.

While at work - think of a workplace that they'd use their ipod for something, maybe they connect it to a computer/projector or speakers or something during a presentation

Other ideas:

I love the idea of using the iPod speakers to "John Cusack" someone's window serenading them with the iPod's music. Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes needs to be playing.

During each scene I see a flash in the middle of the iPod "look" with the bright colored background, black silhouette and white iPod.

The song can either change every scene, or it can be one song that adjusts to the certain scene's feel.
