Video Response: January 12, 2012

The overt message of the video is to be careful and "duck and cover" to protect yourself from an atomic bomb. The video mentioned that they had firefighters to put out fires and that street rules were to keep us safe on the road. The covert message of the video, in my opinion, was to push the government and almost cover up what they did to Japan. I also believe the government was afraid that there was a real threat that an atomic bomb would be dropped on the USA. I don't think this was extremely purposeful since the video was made by a public school system; therefore, I would say this video was more informational than it was propaganda.
