The Final Scene Of The Documentary Officer Miguel Rosario

The same applies to a dramatic scene where the music may be deep and frantic to convey to the audience the feeling of anticipation. A scene i would like to focus on is the scene in which Garry and his father have a final ‘showdown’, if you will, at the front of the house. The scene consists of the father imposing himself on Garry and proceeding to continually beat him down time after time only for Garry to rise up and face his father on each occasion. This scene evoked a feeling of pride and admiration from the audience as to Garry’s courage and determination to convey the message to his father that he is ready to stand on his own two feet and defy him. This is a very powerful scene within the movie which initiated powerful emotions within the audience. All of this was accomplished with the notable absence of music of any form. The omission of music in this scene created an atmosphere in which the dramatic affect was amplified due to the silence.

The film utilises emotional appeals, or pathos, to convince its audience more so than probably any other technique. Perhaps the

In Neil Postman’s novel, Amusing Ourselves to Death, he argues that rationality in America has become dictated by television. Through the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, Postman demonstrates that his claim is valid and reliable. These are three forms of persuasion that are used to influence others to agree with a particular point of view. Ethos, or ethical appeal, is used to build an author’s image. Ethos establishes a sense of credibility and good character for the author (Henning). Pathos, or emotional appeal, involves engaging “an audience's sense of identity, their self-interest, their emotions” (Henning). If done correctly, the power of emotions can allow the reader to be swayed to agree with the author. Logos, or logical appeal,

How do writers and speakers keep their audiences interested? Many speakers today use a method, which consists of ethos, logos, and pathos. Two popular men, Martin Luther King and Sam Berns, both utilize ethos, logos, and pathos in a way to build their speeches, “The Street Sweeper” and “My Philosophy for a Happy Life.” Even though they both portray those, they don’t always do it in the same manner. When watching speeches, the speaker always needs to be trusted by the audience, which is another way of saying, displaying ethos. They do this in order to hook the reader’s attention. Along with that, they also want to hear logical words and phrases, logos, from the speaker. Putting an emotional twist on things helps others stay interested in what they are discussing as well. Despite the many ways that King and Berns favor each other, there are many ways in which they differ throughout their speeches.

Edie’s father, Sergeant Eduardo Salazar was a member from the Sacramento Police Department. He was on neighborhood watch that early afternoon in an unmarked vehicle, when a bank robbery was broadcasted over the police radio. Sgt. Salazar responded to the call and proceeds to the location nearby as quickly as possible.

Today, one can see the tactic of persuasion being used as a standard avenue to influence a person’s attitude or beliefs by presenting them with different messages that encourage things like using certain brand name products, vote a certain way, or where to take a vacation just to name a few. There are four types of people that include gullible people, skeptical people, firm believers, and people who are leaders who trust others as well as make others follow their ideas. Persuasion is a widespread topic of social psychology and may be done in different ways. There are two types of cognitive processes by which to persuade someone, which are the central route or the peripheral route. For this assignment I used mostly the central route approach as well as using a little of the peripheral route approach. To reinforce the peripheral route approach the use of pathos was also used during the video to play on the emotions of the watcher. This PowerPoint is effective at using the central route of persuasion, peripheral

Modes of persuasion are rhetorical appeals used in writing to persuade an audience (Worthington 58). The rhetoric appeals are divided into three categories; ethos, pathos and logos. Writers and speakers alike must have the ability to use the three appeals within a text to persuade a particular audience. Ethos refers to the author’s or writer’s credibility. The writer or the author has to establish his or her credibility for the audience to consider his or her views. Pathos is appealing through the audience’s emotions. As an author or speaker, it is important to create a certain sense of curiosity and imagination in the audience’s minds in order to have them identify with the speech’s or text sentiments. Logos is the most important of the three

Along with background music, sound effects play more of a role on the way we feel than many moviegoers think, and "although the function of sound effects is primarily atmospheric, they can also be precise sources of meaning in film" (Giannetti, 225). When the

The audience has made up their mind on David?s presentation in the initial 7-10 seconds in front of the high school staff (Bretag, Crossman and Bordia 2009, p. 195). After five minutes of David?s presentation; he noticed that most of the audience was looking bored on his sales pitch. What turned out badly with David's presentation is that he did not have a clear structure in his speech with appropriate signposts and transitions to keep his audience on track (Laws 2000, p. 67). He did not interact, and a lack of rapport with his audience. David forgets that he also communicate without speaking (Bretag et.al., 2009, p. 204). David was not able to convey his approaches through his body language, and non-verbal communication such

I had the pleasure of interviewing Pedro Castillo. He is seven years old, Cuban, and is in Ms. Neer’s first grade class. Despite English he is one of the few students in his class that is above average, he is reading at a second grade level.

After watching the two documentaries on Colombia ((1)Plan Colombia & (2)ESPN: 30 For 30 - The Two Escobars), I learned some fairly interesting things about the country and its drug issues. The ESPN 30 for 30 documentary jumped out at me at first simply because I am a hug sports fan in general, but after awhile I soon realized that the film was less about the sport aspect but more about Columbia's ongoing drug problem. The first point that jumped out at me was the term "Narco-soccer"; which was a term given to describe soccer teams / players founded by drug trafficking. Pablo Escobar also known as "The King of Cocaine”, was a notorious Colombian drug lord whose cartel, smuggled cocaine into the United States, and Escobar is also considered to

I added a variation of music to help add excitement in the video.
