0:00-0:10- video starts off in the ocean. Seems like the person in the ocean is super far down, in a whole scuba diving outfit. Slightly eerie, diver is going further down.
0:10-0:12- “camera” is zooming into the person, the person is shining flashlight at “camera”. The “camera” is a shark. It’s about to attack the diver. The sharks mouth looks like it’s about to eat the diver. But, it’s quickly zoomed out and shown that a person is watching it on their phone.
0:12-0:14- Guy, teenager, with dark hair is in the car, drivers side driving with his phone in hand watching the “shark attack” clip that was shown earlier. The guy is shocked and amused at the video.The director is trying to show how he is distracted on his phone by showing the video. It also looks like the guy is driving in a nice neighorbood.
0:14-0:17- the guy is approaching a stop sign, he is clearly distracted because of his phone, he doesnt realize stop sign is there bc lady is walking and he doesnt notice her and almost hits her. Lady looks like shes in her 20/30’s, obviously shocked because she almost got hit by the car.
0:18-0:20- The lady and the guy are visibility scared and in shock/breathing really heavy because of the potential accident that woulve happened. If the guy didnt have his phone while driving, he wouldve seen the stop sign and the lady and wouldve stoped.
0:20-0:23- black screen with the bold white words saying “The real danger is distracted driving”
0:23-0:25 we are looking at phone sitting in center console in the cup holder, slowly zooming out on the phone
0:26-0:30- same guy is shown driving but with no distractions, both hands on the steering wheel, following directions. Large bold white print says “eyes forward, dont drive distracted”. Obviously trying to show to importance of driving and how you shouldnt drive distracted.
With sound- the video is trying to show that distracted driving is an issue that needs to be fixed. People are constantly on their phones texting or watching videos while driving, and that distraction could cause you to hurt someone or cause another accident. Nothing should distract you while your driving,
Doglover, you’ve chosen a video with which I’m already very familiar, having spent an hour or more providing feedback to a version of this analysis by a student last semester. Rather than replicate any of my comments here, I’m going to connect you to the record of that interaction:
Here’s the link to the page:

And here’s what you’re looking for when you get there:
An Example from Last Semester
(Feedback to Student Draft)
This exchange went on quite a while before I ever looked at the video. Notice how hard it is for a reader who hasn’t seen the images to gather what he’s looking at from descriptions alone.
I’ll post a preliminary grade at Canvas. Regrades are always available following significant improvement.
