Binaries: Outside and Inside

I felt the outside and inside images stood out the most in the commercial. The image of the people on the inside of the train interacting with the people and animals in the outside(television) shows how the television can instantly connect with people across the world. The Samsung Smart Tv commercial tries to demonstrate how even if the girl in the train is not really next to the boy in India, they can still interact with each other through the use of the product. All the passengers in the train are essentially experiencing something they would not normally be able to experience, without the help of the tv. The interaction between the passengers in the train and the environment in the television shows how easily it is for someone to fully view aspect of life through the use of the television.



Another thing I found interesting about the outside and inside binary images was I felt that the inside outside images shows a contrast between the real world and the one shown in the tv. The real world was extremely dark and dull, while the tv images were very colorful and alive. The scenery in outside of the train showed no distinctive colors or anything that would attract a person's attention whereas the tv's scenery was more bright, vivid and lively. The tv's scenery felt more inviting, which in turn, convinces the commercial's viewers that the Samsung Smart Tv will allow them to view life to its fullest. I also found it interesting that the passengers of the train all wore dark color clothes and showed no signs of emotions while entering the train, in contrast to the people in the tv, who all wore distinctive bright colors and seemed happy. The images of the people in the television felt more joyful, which may cause the views to think that images in the smart tv is better then other televisions and even actual life.
