Observation 9

1. We chose to do our multimedia project on taking mission trips and the influence it has on people.  We will use pictures of ourselves on mission trips, bible verses, and christian music to persuade the audience to go help others that are less fortunate in foreign countries.

2. We will do a PowerPoint presentation, which will consist of pictures and bible verses, accompanied by music in the background.

3.  We will need the powerpoint application on our computer and will use mainly the computer as a source of putting together the project.

Observation 10

this film uses visual rhetoric in order to appeal to the audience's senses. For example John is always shown in darkness becuase he is a murderer. He has an amazing sense which he hides from the world and also is a murderer, which he hides from the world. Being cast in darkness is a way to display the fact that he has all of these secrets. the movie also goes through a lot in order to make people understand what things smell like. We first recieve the clue that something smells good when John becomes obsessive with it, but these feelings are then strenghthened through visual rhetoric. bright pictures of attractive women as well as the tempting music allows the audience to interpret a smell though a form of visual rhetoric.

Dear class,

This film is trying to show the importance of being seen and how having a special gift can be a curse. In his case he has an incredible sense of smell, however, it leads to him not having many social skills or being able to communicate normally. It also shows the differences between social classes by using colors. When the scene has richer people in it, it is full of color. However, when the scene is in the slums or a poorer part of the city, it is gray and colorless.

The visual rhetoric strategies appeal to the audiences' emotions and sense of sight. They "personify" smell by using flashes of visual rhetoric. For example, when Jean Baptist smelled a new or extraordinary scent the movie had flashes of things that appealed to the audience's sense of sight.


This movie was really creepy. It was full of death and naked chicks and everything. However, it does show a good fact about life - that being taken for granted and not having a sense of self is very bad for you. That's why nerds go crazy sometimes, like for example the horrific Virginia Tech shootings/murders.

Go Sox

Love,
Steven

P.S. I'm going to miss all of you when our class is over in a couple weeks :(

Observation 10

The main argument in the movie highlights the drastic difference between the upper and lower class. The upper class is more colorful, the people are happier, more laid back, and less stressed. The lower class is constantly working and scrounging for food. They are grumpy, stressed, and colorless.
The uses of light, color, and makeup were prominent in this movie to emphasize the argument. The use of pathos as a rhetorical strategy was very strong. The movie as a whole was very graphic and used shock to impact the viewer.
I think the concept of this movie is very strange. It is calculating and creative, but altogether strange.
