I thought the short film “America for Dummies” made some good points. There is something wrong with how the younger generation is being brought up. Everyone can name celebrities, but no one can name prominent members of society that actually have an impact on how things run.
As for the video itself, I found it iffy. At the beginning, the music was too powerful and didn’t really fit with the images. It was hard to hear him talking over the music. Throughout the video, the audio was inconsistent. Some interviews would come through clear while others were muted to the point where I could barely hear them. Also, the volume jumped from one interview to the next causing me to constantly adjust my speakers. The clicks and pops got annoying as well.
Audio aside, I liked the video portion. I though the editing was really well done and it moved fluidly between different scenes and cuts.
