The music in this video appeals to the audience emotions. The purpose of having this fearful and overwhelming music is to cause the audience to feel scared or to actually pay attention to what is said. I am sure that if there was no music in this trailer the argument of the media would have been less effective. The music is changed when the trailer moves into to the decision that could change the cultures perspective towards women. The tone of the music changes to a more energetic and hopefully version. Now, that the audience is listening the provider adds captions and wording in the trailer. The choice of wording in the trailer is influencing the majority of the audience to feel guilt and hatred against the news media. The media is shown as the enemy which causes the audience to make a decision based on their feelings towards the media. Although, the trailer does mention women can make a change and the news media can be a positive influence if used by the proper people. The images that are shown can be hurtful and hard for some viewers to …show more content…

Women in trail talk about the news and the cultures prospective towards women. It is not just any women but women who are experienced. These women should know what it feels like because they're part of this unequal treatment. The audience will lose interest and credibility if it was only inexperienced women talking. An argument should have at least the opinion of an expert. The audience has to trust what is said to them in order to gain credibility and trust. The celebrities and professionals make a difference in this argument. The well know people in this video included Cory Booker, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Margaret Cho, Marie Wilson, Rosario Dawson, Katie Couric, etc. There is also men talking about the matter so it would not only be a feminist point of

This occurs whether they are drawing them in using the tone of Madame Zeroni’s voice, or when it possibly makes the audience emotionally attached to the main characters. The speaker also plays a major part in the process of grabbing the audience’s attention. This is done through the speakers enthusiastic voice to show that the movie is thrilling, rather than dull. The style of the trailer is also important, because it puts the most important things first into the trailer.

Hooks develops her essay by establishing credibility with her audience, appealing to the reader’s logic, and stirring their emotions.

This also might bring tension, between friends and family, but there’re times when people just want to discuss a topic that they feel would make the conflict better or resolved. When an argument happens, it’s recommended to use Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle. It is here that Aristotle set’s up three ways to appeal to the audience, which are ethos, pathos, and logos. These three appeals help the writer to persuade, inform, or convince the audience that what he/she is doing the right thing. Without Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle and Aims of Arguments, the writer would unsuccessfully perform an argument correctly. If creditability of the

    The question as to whether humans are emotional or rational beings when it comes to decision making has been widely studied and debated extensively throughout history. In today’s world emotion is usually associated with weakness and vulnerability. Rationality and logic are universal. Everyone uses the same logic (although some people use it more than others), but morality and feelings are unique and personal. They stem from our personality structure, values and are what make each one of us different from one another.We are cognisant that using our emotions to sway our decision making is wrong, and that we should strive to be more analytical and levelheaded; emotions tend to cloud our ability to make the proper choices nonetheless.

    In the opening scenes of the trailer, already the audience is exposed to the dystopian atmosphere of chaos, social anarchy and oppression. This is promoted by short fast paced montages and high angle shots of the swarmed streets, close angle shots of people in terror and military forces. This also conveys the magnitude of chaos this “dilemma” has caused. A short scene of the main protagonist Robert struggling through the crowd has also been visually constructed to enforce to the audience that he is the main character of this movie. The visual construction of this scene is utilised by a close up slow motion focused shot on Will Smith with the background blurred to completely draw the audience onto him. What is more unique is that this combination of effects acts as an inference that Will Smith is the solution or only hope in settling this anarchy as he swiftly makes his way through the congested street. The explosion of the bridge also informs the audience the narrative is set in New York implied by being a landmark of the city. Already in the exposition, the visual conventions have provided an engaging and well informed construction of dystopian qualities and information about the plot itself.

The images we receive from the media clearly downgrade the capabilities of women by only focusing on their physical appearance. Hip-hop videos teach us that women are inferior to men, which is something many females have fought to end. The way in which women are portrayed in music videos influence the decisions we make every day. When young girls see those women dressed with provocative clothing, dancing in a seductive ways, and hear the names they are called, they create the ideology that those behaviors are acceptable.
