AVA.R

Before doing the advanced visual argument, I knew how to work with iMovie and I knew how to use Logos and Pathos for convincing purposes, to grab a reader’s or viewer’s attention. I know these skills are used for PSA’s and related videos, so the skills I learned and used while planning out the video my group and I made will also be applied in other courses. Also, if I do pursue a career in veterinary medicine I might be working to convince animal owners of specific diseases, vaccines, or treatments necessary for their babies. Making a video is always fun to me, it’s not difficult to understand how to cut clips and add music, I would definitely be involved in something like “producing” a video again. We didn’t really have revisions to our video, we put some clips together and it all seemed to flow well. The voice over was probably the one that took more time but that’s just because it’s funny trying to record something serious. The readings for this assignment helped me in understanding the structure the video was supposed to have.

Visual Argument Reflection

For my Visual Argument, I decided to create a poster to advocate reflection and create awareness against the corruption occurring in Mexico. I wanted to “reach” out to the Mexican public to create a movement for a better economy and a better country. My sources and knowledge from the Literature Review helped me get the adequate facts for the poster. The purpose of the assignment was to create a research poster, but my poster had minimal information and was more intended for the majority of Mexicans without education. My poster was more rhetoric focused and therefore why I think it could be more effective to really convince the people in Mexico. The rhetorical aspect is something I really want to take with me as my career progresses, for entrepreneurial and maybe even marketing aspects. I did not met the criteria completely because I focused more on being rhetoric. My presentation was very effective as I felt I really gave a good insight of my purpose and intended audience.
