What part of the visual hit you the hardest emotionally? Why do you think it stood out to you? How do the images, sounds, characters, or setting in the visual all work together to affect your feelings? What is the overall goal of this visual (ad, trailer, or website), and how does it try to reach that goal through emotion? Was there a moment that felt especially powerful or memorable because of how emotional it was? Explain why it had that effect on you.
