The fluorescent light is used when Hillary is first introduced in the video. Prior to her introduction, negative remarks about Trump set the tone for the advertisement. The mood then shifted to a promising future. In figure 1, the light is shown behind the man while listening to Hillary’s speech in appreciation. This type of reaction was not displayed for Trump’s remarks for the obvious conclusion that this idea of unity Hillary mentions goes against Trump’s philosophy.

    Election years in the United States remind many citizens that they live in a country with a political system that allows them to vote for people that will represent them and their wishes up in Washington. Many of the issues that become the target of debate can stem from dissatisfaction with the current regime, issues that have yet to have been answered, as well as whatever else is a hot topic at the time.
