The coffee video had several types of transitions; from a fade out to in, to a diagonal slice from one corner to the next, to a quick cut to the next segment. The many different transitions in such a short advertisement were, perhaps, there to intrigue the audience. It could be comparable in today's times to infomercials where the lights are bright, colors vivid, and the background flashy to capture the attention of the viewer. In the fashion show video the camera person emphasized different angles to captivate the viewer. It went in a pattern from a high to low perspective, to a low to high, to a face on point of view, and repeated. This type of differential perspective led the audience from the beginning in a series of positions surrounding the event. Both videos were quite interesting when compared to present times. In the coffee video, neither of the characters being filmed spoke; instead, they had a spokesperson basically putting words into their mouths. I found it to be silly when I first watched it and thought I heard the woman speaking in a man's voice, until I realized it was just the voiceover guy. The fashion show, too, was much different than the fashion shows of today. When I picture a fashion show I picture sassy, underweight women walking a stage wearing not that much clothing. The women in this show, however, were completely clothed, and looked more sophisticated than sassy.
