Phillip, Soo, and I made a TV commercial with Imovie. Our propaganda shows the love of Mao from the POV of the citizens of China. From all of the examples we have seen in the Morning Sun website we saw that Mao was everybody's center, everybody was cheering and shouting his name, etc. We also saw on the website how the teachers would teach english to the people of China. The english the citizens would learn were not just the plain language you would be able to use but they were phrases that would make the english speaking countries look bad and the Mao look good. After watching clips such as "People Around the World Love Chairman Mao" and others our group decided that we can make a short TV clip, a commercial kind of thing, as our propaganda. We first took a scene of a few workers working hard and having Mao come it. The main point of this scene was to show the great happiness the workers showed when Mao came. The second scene was a teacher teaching a Chinese child the biased english phrase "We love Mao." The child would just repeat what the teacher said and that was it. This was to show how much the people of China praised Mao and to show just how much Mao's teachings and influences spread. The final scene of our propaganda is a scene of Soo, a worker, dancing and singing around Phillip, Mao, singing "We love Mao, Mao is the greatest" and quotes like that. I think that this video does a good job entertaining the watcher and yet teaching the watcher that Mao is the greatest. This propaganda like the ones in the websites all do a good job in showing what the government of China wanted at that time.
