Different Perspectives
It is a very short advertising about
different perspective. I tried to find some video about thinking game which we
talked about the different perspectives in class. I found this video in the
advertising. It is just a simple advertising. Two guys are standing and look at
each other, but at first that I saw this video. I thought they might use some
computer technic to make the guy look small and another guy look big. After the
video run a few second, I found that actually they are the same tall. They just
stand in the different place and the camera makes them look different. This
thing makes me think that everything in this world can be looked in the
different way even it is the same thing. It depends on the different perspectives,
what do people think and believe, and their idea.
