  6. in the first video , the video is black and white and gives it a cooler vibe. In the second video , there is a cold feeling and i noticed that in neither videos were there mixed races . In one video they had dark-skinned posers , while in the other it was based on light skins.

  7. The first video "Where I'm from at 2:41 the wide shot of all of the people waiting in line for something to happen. This gives the video a stronger meaning that it intends.

  14. The first video was very hip hop. IT had a lot of rapping about were they all came from and how it was like for them. But the one thing i didn't like was it was in black and white. That is my comment about the first video.

    1. The great filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock once said he was saddened at the invention of color for films. He preferred to have audiences make up the colors in their imaginations. What do you think about that.

  15. I wonder if all of those people in the video were connected to each other. Like family or friends
