Documentary Reflection
The purpose of this documentary was to make our writing and avocation more effective to the audience through visualizations and moving pictures. This form of media and public short announcement expresses the information more freely.
Through this documentary, I learned that in order to create an effective advocacy, one must create or include visuals that are most effective to appeal to the audience's emotions, beliefs and maintaining credibility at the same time. In our video, we used logos by stating some of the historical, medical and environmental facts about cannabis and ethos by providing some experts to speak for our issue. We also used pathos by showing positive potentials of cannabis for the audience to get emotionally involved to get the plant legalized.
Finally, what I liked most about this assignment was being able to construct our own visuals, add music and pretty much the whole editing process or arranging different clips was fun.
