"No one escapes it, but not everyone gives in."

What overall appeal did this video have for you?
The overall appeal that this video had for me was that it showed a girl walking amongst nothing but liquor and the bottles smashing all around her represent the peer pressure from your friends trying to get you to drink. Like it states in the video, "No one escapes it, but not everyone gives in. Remember, you are stronger than they are. Resist the pressure to drink."

What specifically did you like about the video? Consider elements such as voice overs, images, statistics (facts), video footage, music.
The major thing that I liked about this video was the image of the bottles breaking all around her as she resisted the pressure to drink.

Who do you think is the target audience for this video? Explain.
I think that the target audience is mainly annoy who is pressured to drink. The reason that I think this is because it's not focusing on just one age group that is pressured, but everyone as a whole.

What message(s) were the creators of this video trying to send?
The message that the creators of this video were trying to send was that no matter how hard you try, you will never escape peer pressure, but that doesn't mean that you have to give in. They want you to know that by not giving in, you are the stronger person.

How is the video persuasive? Consider how the video tries to convince the reader. Do they use testimonials, appealing images, hard hitting statistics or facts, etc?
I find that the overall image of the girl walking down the street with bottles smashing all around here is a very hard hitting image. I feel that it truly shows her rejection against the peer pressure she may be going through.
