Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is an intersection point of many streets which have many shops. Many tourists like to sit on the steps of the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain to see the street scenes of Piccadilly Circus, and the nearby empty space also has some buskers randomly perform to interact with their audience. There are many advertisement billboards which are surrounding this area used to be the LED screens, playing promotional clips of international brands. The new screen will switch on at Autumn 2017.

"Nod to pop art, this takes part to reveal in all its rawness the organic character of the mouth of the subject filmed in close-up and to question this practice which dates back several millennia."

What we share?
There are many videos appearing in front of our sights on the Internet. People are sharing and researching the videos which they are most interested in. They could be on the video websites, such as Youtube, where the top three video types are Product Review Videos, How-to Videos, Vlogs. (Mediakix, 2016) We can see how people enjoy watching the experience from others, sharing the information with one another.
In addition, 80% of how we experience the world is through sight. (Lester, 2006) This means that visual stimulation can make us more familiar with the information which is presented through videos. For instance, many news media use videos to report the details of a condition fluently in a short amount of time, showing actual or animated news screen to explain directly. (Multiple Journalism, 2017) Additionally, advertisements use videos to demonstrate the vibe of the product they want to describe, the function that the product can be, and the target audience they want to reach. The above illustrates that video could allow us to see objects closely and clearly to receive the messages that the providers want to imply in the communicative process.
