Week 6 - Representation - Production

overview: this was a ted talk i filmed and edited with i thought was perfect for my representation project as it is all about how people perceive autistic people because of how they are represented to people.

target audience: this was mainly intended towards parents from 30-40 years old with kids that have autism (but this talk could be applied to many similar metal conditions) and in this talk i believe that audience is met, the man talking focuses up on people who have relations with autistic individuals, and then explaining his point to them, I'm sure his message reached out to people who don't have any relations to kids with autism but the speaker makes sure to go in on his audience and his audience were the parents with autistic kids.

evaluation: this video did its job and that was to reach out to parents with mentally impaired kids or just people with family members with some sort of mental condition and inform them about what their kids are actually going through in contrast to how mentally impaired people are portrayed and represented to us by lots of different sources like the media stereotypes and just peoples general. but did it do that job well? yes it does with maybe a little poor camera work and one or two cuts that might feel a bit out of place depending on your preference. i will say it does go on a bit lasting a bit to long, this could boar a few audience members but i think the message is strong enough to hold the audiences attention until the very end.
