Keep your EYES on the Road
[0:00] The opening sense is a young boy getting into the driver seat of an older car. The boy is wearing a a dark blue t-shirt and jeans. He is Caucasian and has short dark hair. He looks clean and well kept. When getting into this older car, something similar to an 1989 ford Lincoln, he has his cell phone in his hand it and looks as if he is texting someone. His cell phone looks to be some type of smart phone.
[0:01- 0:03] The boy takes his right hand and reaches across his body for the buckle and buckles himself. This entire time he does not take his eyes off his phone, which is in his left hand.
[0:04-0:05] The boy is now adjusting the rear view mirror with his right hand but never looks up from his phone which continues to be in his left hand to see where he is adjusting the mirror. He moves the mirror about twice.
[0:06-0:07] the boy now takes his right hand and reaches for the keys which are in the ignition and starts the car turning the keys forward. He continues to look only at his phone in his left hand.
[0:08-0:09] The boy reaches up for the shifter which is places behind the steering wheel on the right side. He pulls it down and puts the car into gear. He continues to look at the phone in his left hand the entire time.
[0:10] The boys right hand now transitions onto the top of the steering wheel and he lends back into a comfortable position while still viewing his phone.
[0:11] The still image of the boy in the car in a laid back position with his right hand on the top of the steering wheel and his head slanted downwards towards his phone in his left hand fades slowly to the background. Big red letters that spell the word STOP in all capital letters appear across the screen.
[0:12-0:14] An image of an iguana appears the screen. The iguana’s eyes are moving all around looking in multiple different directions . The words Can you do this? Appear along the bottom of the screen in white.
[0:15-0:16] the camera goes back to the boy in the car but is now zoomed in on the boy’s face. The camera shows from his chest up. The phone is now in his right hand held up higher in front of his face. His left hand is on the steering wheel. He is attempting to move his eyes around the same way the iguana was from the previous screen. The boy has a strange smirk on his face but also expresses a sense of confusion.
[0:17] the screen is the same as the prior one except for the word No? in white appears on the bottom of the screen.
[0:18] The boy now looks completely away from his phone and shrugs his shoulders. The grin is still on his face and the word No? is still on the screen. He also now turns his head to face the camera on the right side of his body.
[0:19] The camera slowly fades out showing the majority of the car and the boy through the passenger side window. The boy takes the phone which is in his right hand and tosses it up and it lands in the passenger seat. He then looks forward as if he is about to drive.
[0:20] the car drives out of the screen from the left to right.
[0:21] the screen now shows a picture of the woods with a short wooden fence along the side of the road appears and the words Then DON’T text and drive. Appear in the front of the screen. The letter are in white and the only letters in capital are DON’T and the T in then.
[0:22] The screen fades to black.
[0:23- 0:26] the words Keep both EYEs on the road. Appear on the black screen. They are in a blueish, greenish colored collage fading from one to the other. The word EYES is in all caps.
[0:27-0:29] the screen now transitions into the same black screen with yellow dash marks going through the bottom of the screen. It makes it look almost like a road. In the middle of the screen “STOPTEXTSSTOPWRECKS.ORG” appears. The letters are all in caps and STOP is in yellow while the rest is in white. On the left side of the dash marks the words project yellow light area with a traffic sign and below that Ad councils symbol appears. On the right side of the dash marks appears NOYS in blue and under that is NHTSA with a symbol along that in the beginning.

JS, I don’t know how some of my students got the message that these posts were supposed to Analyze the visual arguments, while others like yourself are providing thorough and accurate reports about the images on the screen without any analysis whatsoever.
You do well the job you’ve assigned yourself, I admit. Give me a moment. I’m going to refer back to the assignment to see where I went wrong. (Plays Jeopardy theme)
I see that I did not describe “visual analysis” in the assignment itself. Instead, I offered a model.
Here’s a bit of that model that blends a description of the visuals with an analysis of what we’re being shown, and what it might mean.
See what I mean?
Here’s another place to go for guidance:
