Since Jackson and his supporters were<br \/>\nconsidered to be radical or aggressive, I wanted the music to reflect the distaste they<br \/>\nmight have for a candidate like Adams. A slightly zoomed out frame reveals the rest<br \/>\nof his face, then his shoulders. The dark background of the portrait was helpful in<br \/>\ncreating a negative and gloomy image of Adams. Next the video slowly zooms into a<br \/>\nblack and white portrait of Adams. These are the only two images of Adams I used<br \/>\nin my ad, in order to avoid confusion or distracting the viewer. Ideally, I wanted to<br \/>\nuse just one black and white image of Adams (to later tie him to his father) to avoid<br \/>\nany sort of confusion, but I thought the first portrait of Adams was too fitting to not<br \/>\ninclude in the ad. The next quick sequence begins with Adams\u2019 title in order to tie<br \/>\nthe two images with the correct name. I chose to quickly alternate between his<br \/>\nname, images, and the words \u201cinternal improvements\u201d and \u201cFederalist\u201d in order to<br \/>\nsubliminally connect Adams to these ideals that were viewed by some to be very<br \/>\nnegative at the time.<br \/>\nThe next part of the video I use to provide evidence for my claims. \u201cInternal<br \/>\nimprovements\u201d fades into the screen to introduce the idea, followed by a newspaper<br \/>\nclipping that claims that the \u201cliberties of the nation\u201d will be destroyed \u201cby making<br \/>\nJohn Quincy Adams the next President\u201d (source 2). I highlighted certain parts of the<br \/>\nquote with red as the music becomes more cacophonous to create further<br \/>\ndiscomfort. I felt that this quote connected to those who opposed Adams\u2019 plan for<br \/>\ninternal improvements. Although people may not have opposed the idea of<br \/>\n2<br \/>\nimprovements themselves, the major problem was the state funding for the internal<br \/>\nimprovements. If the government had the power to fund roads, post offices, etc., it<br \/>\nwould continue to accumulate power until it constitutionally could abolish slavery.<br \/>\nMany citizens, especially in the South, would have seen this as an attack on the rights<br \/>\nand liberties individuals. In this way, I thought the first newspaper clipping was<br \/>\nrelevant to internal improvements.<br \/>\nNext I transition back to Adams\u2019 name and remind the viewer of the black<br \/>\nand white photo. Then the \u201cFederalist\u201d title fades in, and the next newspaper<br \/>\nclipping discusses how certain Federalist newspapers have endorsed Adams\u2019<br \/>\ncandidacy for president appears. During the election of 1824, Adams\u2019 held the<br \/>\nsupport of almost all New England old Federalists even though he was technically a<br \/>\ndemocratic-republican. This would certainly be seen as negative to some voters,<br \/>\nespecially Jackson supporters, since Federalism was seen as the enemy to individual<br \/>\nliberties. For this reason, I chose to end my video with presenting the black and<br \/>\nwhite photo of John Quincy Adams that quickly cuts to a similar looking image of<br \/>\nJohn Adams. This was to imply that Quincy Adams would be much of the same<br \/>\npresident as his father\u2014Federalist, and generally thought to be negative.<br \/>\nSources:<br \/>\n1.
