Volume control and speak simply is demonstrated in this short clip from the movie "The Incredibles" where Edna proves her point of "NO CAPES!". By repeating the word cape, she emphasizes the continuous possibility of injury due to having a cape. She gradually increases her volume in order to keep control of the argument and to add emphasis. These strategies help to change Mr. Incredibles mind on wanting a cape on his new super suit.

This next example comes from a movie called "Freaky Friday" that was released in 2003. In the following scene, the mother of Anna has her body switched with her daughter for a day at school. After taking a quiz in class, she realizes that the professor was being so hard on her because of his history with her mother. She uses anger to confront him about his teaching practices and helps to inspire a change in him.

This video is definitely for mothers with young children, specifically daughters. Dove has the same approach to beauty and image as a school with drugs and alcohol. "Talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does". This says a lot about the image that a majority of media portray. The image that forms in a young child's mind of what they should look like and act like has a huge affect on how they develop, perform, and function.

Definitely filmed for the kids born in the 2000's, not necessarily of any race but under 12 years of age in all socioeconomic status's. Also not specific to religion or political stance but more so concerned about a young girl's view of herself and what her idea of "acceptable body image" is. The argument here is to let the young women know that it's ok to be you! There is no "perfect" body and to learn to feel comfortable in your own skin. It appeals to a parents emotions in a way that would prompt them  to talk to there daughter and let her know that its ok to not be skinny, strong, buff, tall, short, and all the other words that are quoted in this commercial.

First impression for me is "hipster" influenced by a younger daughter. The contradiction between the flower covered iPod classic and the gold iPhone 6 is what has me puzzled. The noise canceling head phones, for me, say that she is over 50. The purse, and probably wallet, being from target draw me to a conclusion that she probably works in an office somewhere at a desk job in the . The books help support this as well. Band-Aids, spare change, and, of course, Burts Bees chapstick are most likely in 80% of purses.

She drives a Honda and based upon the picture of the key, its a late 2000's, I'm guessing 2009, and probably a civic or an accord. The purse contents don't suggest it being a hybrid but probably a V6 and I guarantee an automatic transmission. She seems like she likes nature and probably enjoys Zion park based upon the map. Also most likely enjoys reading in her spare time and probably does it as a leisure activity.

Personality wise she probably enjoys being in the outdoors sitting in a lawn chair watching birds. I don't think we would be the best of friends. She is also probably a relatively calm cool and collected type person with some sort of schedule. Educating wise she most likely has an associates degree and possibly a bachelors with something English related.
