Response to Page 69, video

After watching the video with the people singing along to Obamas speech, it changed how I viewed it. By adding the people into the video alongside Obama made a shocking difference to how his speech was conveyed and how it was received. It makes him argument much more powerful. Especially because the people shown singing along were a diverse group of people united singing. Which was what his speech was about. Everyone coming together and being one.

Because some of the people were easily recognizable, it made it easy to think of everyone being one, If those people hear the message and see things the way we do, it must be relatable. The famous people singing kept the audiences attention and made them relate to what was being said. All of the people but they had something in common. Singing "Yes we Can" alongside Obama and conveying a message that we all CAN come together and be one. Making the video powerful.

By playing Obama presenting his speech throughout the video kept the audience on track of who the original message was coming from. The singers being louder than Obama made it seem like the words were being screamed at the audience. Obama talking through it gave the idea that he was guiding the singers along. (Like how he "guides" our country) The words from Obama "Yes We Can" being repeated made the audience not forget and convinces them it is true.

This video was most likely powerful enough to changes peoples views on Obama and the message that has been attempted to explain for years. I think adding the singers alongside Obama was extremely helpful and powerful.
