Visual Analysis Questions

• 1) What visual elements grab your attention first?
  
  

  The visual elements that grabbed my attention first, was Barack Obama standing behind 

  the stage, looking like any normal person who is getting ready for a speech, it stood out to me because its a very good rhetoric strategy, because it showed that he is exactly as us, also the music was non, existent, any sounds to be particular, which added dramatic effect. 

  
  
  2) What other details reinforce that impression? How? 
  
  

  Other details that reinforce this statement, was how he wanted to grab every ones attention, and it did so, he started the video by saying, i will accept your nomination for presidency, which surely grabbed peoples attention, also the music was quite uplifting, which was a great contrast.

  
  3.) What is more important? Less important? 
  
  

  What's very important in this video, was all the things Obama had planned in 2008 that he would do as president, and throughout the video it showed everything that he did, what was less important was probably nothing about the video, it was really well made, that it focused on what he did, and how they incorporated into a speech that he did years ago. 

  
  4.) What about color and style? What impact do they have on your impressions? 
  
  

   The color of the video was bright and uplifting, they really chose great colors to be used throughout the video, the style of the video was very fluid and I really enjoyed it. 

  
  5.) How does the image direct the viewer’s eyes and reinforce what is important? 
  
  

   It did so in a very unique way, they incorporated his speech he did from years ago into a video, showing pictures of all that he has done, which I thought was a great reinforcer. 

  
  6.) What text is included? How does the text relate to the image? 
  
  

  The text included fit the video very perfectly, reinforcing everything you should and wanted to see.

  
  7.) What argument is being made?  
  
  

  The argument being made was to make you want to choose Obama, which the video did so well. They showed everything that he promised and did into one video.
