My video is a remix of speeches that Barrack Obama has given throughout his years as president. The clips are all pieced together to make it so Obama is “singing” the lyrics to the original Pokemon Theme song. The person who made it went through a large number of speeches and looked for the individual words that make up the lyrics of the song. He then cut out those words and put them together over an instrumental version of the theme song.

This media remix is interesting because it has two different sources. One source is a beloved and memorable TV show’s theme; the other is speeches given by Obama. All of the lyrics from the original song are included in the remix, even surprisingly the word “Pokemon” which was achieved by stringing parts of other words together. However most parts of the speeches were not included because there was only a couple words from each speech needed. Despite how easy it would have been, the author did not use the same clips over and over for the same words. He even made the word “Pokemon” a couple different ways.

When deciding if this remix is intended for a different audience than the original, there’s a couple things you need to consider. The first, and most important, being that this theme was only used on the show in its first season, which was a little less than 20 years ago. The audience for the original theme was children who are interested in the Pokemon games, but all of the kids who loved to watch this show are young adults now. Obama’s speeches are generally intended for the entirety of the country, but mostly for adults. The target audience of this remix would seem to be young adults, as those are the people who would be aware of Obama’s speeches and also familiar with the Pokemon theme song, so the target audience has changed significantly.
