Video activity: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Assignment #1 

Here is a video activity that you can do at home. You can write the answers in a comment below this post, or you can write them on a piece of paper and give it to me on Saturday. 

NOTE: This special activity is optional. If you decide to do it, please let me know on Saturday.



BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!

BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO

1) What is beauty, in your opinion? 

2) Can you make a list of 5 qualities that define beauty? (Number 1 should be the most important one)

3) Look up the definition of the following proverb in a dictionary (or you can also google it!): BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. 
Do you agree with this proverb? Why/why not?

WHILE WATCHING

4) Watch the following video and pay attention to the general message.



AFTER WATCHING

5) Answer the following questions: 

  • How does the film make you feel?
  • How do the women in the film feel when they see their portraits? Why?
  • What’s the message of the film?
6) At the end of the movie, you can see the following phrase:

“You are more beautiful than you think.”


This is the publicity slogan of Dove the product which made the short film. 
Do you agree with this slogan? Why do you think it was chosen?

7) Go back to the list you made before (task 2). Do you want to leave it the same way, or would you like to make any changes? Why?

8) Imagine you are the publicity manager of a MAKE-UP product. Think of a good slogan that represents the idea on the Dove video.
