The V Sign
9
V for Victory
Winston Churchill gives the victory sign at a
political rally, Liverpool, 1951
10
The "V" for victory that Winston Churchill used
(with the palm facing outward, same as the
American sign for "peace"), when the palm is
reversed, it means something else... If a person
used two fingers to order two beers in a British
pub.. it has insulting connotations
11

the two fingers in a 1st grade math class may
refer to the number "two"

for granted we have thought and acted as if our
forefathers had founded it once and for all. We
have forgotten that it has to be enacted anew in
every generation.

"I learned how to deconstruct commercials, how to
use the camera equipment, and how to create a
public service announcement. Most importantly, I
experienced that every message can be interpreted
differently. Depending on the era, personal
experience, each sign makes different meaning to
different people. Prior to taking this course, I
simply watched a commercial at face value. I
never really looked at the details or asked
myself what target audience the advertising
company was aiming for. Since class, I have been
a commercial-analyzing junkie. I look at the
color scheme, the logo, the endorser (if there is
one), choice of music, and the intended target
audience.

• I am happy to have met you, because you have
  given me much more to think about than just the
  content of this class.
• More than learning video production, this
  course gave me the chance to reflect on my own
  viewing habits and I learned something about
  myself.
