A full interpretation of the PSA from UNICEF

The thirds rule is very effective in this video. At the start the three take a third (Mom-first third, Dad-last third and Baby-the middle), and at the end the middle is blank and the parents stand on each side. The color is totally blue (and black). The mother and father are thrice as big as the little midget boy and the boy stands out in the tornado when the parents are having a twirl in the tornado. The talking does not make sense at all but the expression is shown. The scream gives you a touch of the hyperactiveness that will happen next. The music is quite funky which partly suits what is happening. The sound of the tornado makes you want you go onscreen and stop that riot.

What attracted me was the blue people and the hand that took the child away from the riot (I don’t really care if that hand was meant to be the good or the evil.)

“Children have the right to a protective environment,” the PSA says to us. It doesn’t give a kid a special meaning (just something to laugh at), but for parents, they know what to do when they have a fight. This video is probably not aimed at children; it’s for them to have a laugh, but that’s probably. it. This video tells parents that when they have a fight, they shouldn’t fight in front of their children, they should either divorce or have a fight privately. I think the meaning is that children are happier in a safe and happy environment instead of one that their parents are about to go hyper. It’s a good resource/video to ask parents to watch when your parents just had a fight and are both breathing fire on each other.

Good PSA, but I could not understand the speaking in the beginning.

Tell UNICEF. The PSA wasn’t mine.

I think this can also be aimed at children. Because it shows that we are lucky that our parents don’t fight as much and some children’s parents fight all the time. Keep posting! :D

I do agree with you, parents should not fight in front of their children, they should not fight at all if it is possible, great job!
