Flashback Friday.

Auckland, New Zealand 🇳🇿 2011

“That is an experience I will never forget, terrifying. We booked a 2 week trip to New Zealand when we lived in Australia; we started in Auckland where we met @askewone , Phat1 and Berst1 and then we took off on our road trip which ended in Christchurch. When we arrived I was already a little bit on edge as the town had suffered a severe earthquake just a few weeks before, several buildings had collapsed and a big part of the city centre was not accessible. After our first night there sleeping in the back of our van we went to a grocery shop and then it suddenly hit, for about one minute it was as we were on a ship conquering a rough sea. And then that happened again when we arrived at the home of the people we were meeting, I saw their house sway. After these big aftershocks, 6.8 and 5.4, many smaller aftershocks followed. I didn’t really catch any sleep that night.” -DOES.

Propaganda Assignment

Reflective Commentary

  For this assignment, I chose the first option on the political brief list. This was described as the following: “You have been contracted to come up with a media release to promote engagement with a particular political party and mobilize people to exercise their right to vote for that party.” I wanted to make up an imaginary party for this assignment, and then create a moving image advertisement to promote this party using Adobe After Effects 2017. I also wanted to make my advertisement humorous, and a parody of New Zealand politics and politicians in general, as I really hate both of these two things.

  Upon reading the brief for this assignment, I did not know how I was going to approach it in terms of creating my advertisement. That is to say, would I draw a mock caricature of New Zealand politicians like the ones you see in New Zealand newspapers like The Herald for example, or would I run a pretend campaign for a made up party and film my interviews with university students? I am not great at drawing, so the first option was not really an option. Running a campaign featuring interviews with students as part of the campaign run was not going to be realistic either, considering I had no one to help me out as a cameraman. Making an advertisement using Adobe After Effects 2017, seemed to be the best practical option for creating my advertisement. The Creative Party was the name I thought up for my imaginary party. This party would have the sole intention and transparent agenda to make New Zealand fun and more creative again for Kiwis, and also loosen up laws around the prohibition of cannabis. A mock party, reminding everyone of the ridiculousness and absurdity of politics and politicians.

Creating this advertisement for a pretend political party was a lot of fun. I managed to source a lot of funny photos off the Internet that would help me communicate my laid back humorous message. A Youtube video featuring Auckland graffiti artists askewone and berst1 painting a truck in Onehunga, along with its new school hip-hop track by Sisi aligned well with my imaginary political parties creative agenda. I also focused on my text in this advertisement and made the fonts interesting and eye-catching. I wanted my advertisement to be interesting for people to watch, in contrast to actual political advertisements one sees on TV which are typically simple, dry and boring to watch. For example, the recent Labour ad called “Let’s do this” featuring Labour leader Jacinda Ardern comes to mind. 

In conclusion, I believe I have achieved and actualized my original goal, which was to create a mockery of New Zealand politics as well as a somewhat humorous advertisement for a pretend political party. Through the use of text and sourced photos and videos off the internet, and the manipulation of these photos, videos and text in After Effects 2017 this goal has been achieved.
