This video is used to appeal to the everyday American through a logical appeal. Every person in the country has been effected by the economic crisis in some way shape or form. This trailer is appealing to the audience by showing them the salaries of the people in the corporate world. This tactic is used to show they viewer how much normal Americans struggle while corporate America lives a glamorous lifestyle. This is used to show people how the people responsible for the economic crisis are the ones that are least effected. Showing homes in a nice neighborhood is also a way of appealing to an audience that more then likely doesn't live this nice of a lifestyle.
In this video, the director uses a lot of numbers including the index of stocks to indicate that many people in the US have been affected by the economic crisis. The lady in the video says," We are watching this Tsunami coming." This indicates that people have already known that the financial problem is coming. However, they do not have ways to save themselves. It is like a Tsunami. The producer also uses rich people’s income to indicate that they are having good jobs and good incomes while the ordinary people have to pay for their game.
The author uses logos by showing the wall street salaries. in addition he uses the ethos of experts to discredit the people who are defending the wall street banks. I find it interesting that he includes pictures of both Bush and Obama in the trailer. usually movies like this have a political agenda but this suggests that the author thinks that both political parties are corrupt when it comes to wall street. the imagery the author uses when talking about dreams turning into nightmares is also supposed to appeal to your pathos.
This video really makes people to feel angry. Generally, author uses pathos to attract readers' attention. People are fooled by those powerful and rich people in wall street, because they are controlling government, film festival and economics. After we emphasize main issues like "financial crisis","Catastrophic meltdown", we may realize that we are robbed by those "smart" people. And those financial problems are not only bankruptcy but also major catastrophes to the society. Audiences would be informed that we are affected by these events. Then people may eager to know what is the reason of the financial crisis. However, what video shows that those rich people are taking risks to earn money and they don't want to deal with the huge consequences. Everyone would feel unfair about it, because we are paying money to solve their troubles. And those person already have great house, delicate food, beauties and cars just because they are "smart". Author uses Capital words "How the Financial industry set out to defraud the ORDINARY AMERICAN investor" states that if even they are investors, they are still being defrauded. Then normal people like us who know less are totally deceptive. People would not accept this. When they mentioned "wall street government", most people may feel so sad. Since government are serving and representing those rich people but not the public, our taxes are using to provide privilege and power to those people who already have everything. However, though they have power to stop crisis, they just don't want to. Who are harmed by this? Definitely not them. There are so much person who can not find a job. There are so many families are worried about food and house. Consider about these, every reader would believe and support what the author showed.
This video uses logos to convince the viewer that we have been robbed by big businesses. By using strong arguments, and taking clips of individuals defending the banks poorly "can we turn this off for a second" the video makes the argument completely one sided. Images of wealth and salaries use pathos to create envy or disdain towards the businessman, further bringing the viewer towards their side of the argument. Lastly text such as tsunami, apocalypse, etc are used to exaggerate the situation making it sound even worse than the crisis is in reality.
I know most everyone that has posted has said so far that this video uses logos to convince the viewer that the top 1% pulled a fast one on us, and therefor shows us viewers what really happened. But i also feel like pathos was an important part of the video. Not only were they showing clips of proof of the Wall Street Scandal, but also the reactions of some of the people the narrator was interviewing. Such as one man saying, "I don't have to answer that", or the man at the end of the clip saying, "Can we turn the cameras off?" That makes me wonder, what did they not want us to know, or what are they hiding. I also noticed that when they would show big important buildings, or pictures with big views, there were not many people in those pictures. In fact most of those pictures there were no people, and among those pictures they had the pictures of closed factories, or constructions sites, or foreclosed homes. This is important because I believe it is showing the impact the people have had on us 99% The last point I found that was important about this video was that the councilman asked one of the men if he was bothered by what he had done. The man asked if that was a hypothetical question. The producer of this video most likely put that in the trailer to effect our pathos because it shows that the man has no remorse, or regards the very real question as a joke.
The commercial focuses a lot on private gains and public loss. Pictures are shown back and forth to illustrate the wealthy fews assets and the devastating effect it is having on the public. The music picks up in the middle while pictures are shown with houses, expensive "toys" and high salaries to motivate the viewer to get angry at the wealth of these corporations while everyone else has been affected so adversely by the economy. The video also makes the viewer feel anger by making them feel undermined by the rich of wall street like the display of Roger Ebert's review of the movie that read "how the financial industry set out to defraud the ordinary american investor." This will make the viewer want to find out how they were wronged getting them to watch the movie and listen to the message it is trying to send.
The video uses logo the most to present the audiences the corrupted government and the business company. It shows us some luxurious real estates, lavish cruises and the prosperous New York City. Then it shows us some abandoned factory, selling houses and the New York City surrounded by the cloud in order to show the audience comparison between the dealer and ordinary people. Also, it gets some interviews with the senator and other professionals in the business which increases its credibility.
I chose this video because a trailer has so many aspects about it and can leave so many different impressions on people. So I'm very interested in what people see.It seems to me that the author was trying to use a sarcastic emotion to capture the attention of the audience. The different clips from the movie were very different from each other. I liked the shots of the whole city and the aerial views. I think the author was trying to show the importance of the economy and that it effects everyone.
The most interesting thing that I took from the video was the quote at 1:08. It is a review by Wesley Morris of the Boston Globe and he said, "A MASTERPIECE. SCARIER than anything WES CRAVEN and JOHN CARPENTER have ever made". This is a very interesting statement considering Wes Craven and John Carpenter have created some of the scariest characters and movies for the past 40 years. Comparing their movies to this film and saying this documentary is scarier than anything that they made is profound. It really speaks to the gravity of the film and the importance of what happened leading up to and after the financial crash of 2008. And unlike those films which are fiction this documentary is real.
The trailer shows the american life style that is perceived from the outer world. The lavish life styles they show through the fancy cars, nice suits, and outrageous houses lead the audience that this lifestyle is the life to live. In the trailer they throw out different amounts of money to show the amount needed to live this lifestyle. Giving a false look towards this image.
This video uses a lot of logos, as everyone else has mentioned. But it focuses a lot on making the stock brokers look really bad. It shows all of the images of their nice mansions with large pools in the back yard and it shows several private jets parked in a line, followed by a foreclosure sign in somebodies front yard. This is to appeal to both the pathos and logos of the viewer with the hopes of making the viewer angry at the stockbrokers. There are also a clip that shows part of an interview where the man answering the questions, who we can assume is a stockbroker, is telling the interviewer that he doesn't have to answer that question. We can assume from seeing this that the interviewer just asked a really incriminating question about something that he did on Wall Street. The very last clip in the movie is similar in this way in that the man was asked an incriminating question then he asks if they could turn the camera off. This all works towards making the viewer feel angry at the men being interviewed.
The video definitely uses logos to appeal the common people of the society.It tries to point out that there are lot of people who lives lavish life out there.It shows the people working in the corporate world are earning millions of dollar but common people still living in poverty.It also gives names of big financial companies like goldman sachs to draw viewers attention.I like the way video uses the white background to emphasis on Financial crisis.
It is interesting how the binary of the top 1% and the rest of us is used throughout the trailer. The way the music is used to represent the different sides of the "story" is very interesting. At the beginning, when everyone is complaining and discussing the economic downfall of 2008, there is dramatic music. This is the type of music used in just about all dramatic movies. The creator of this video used this type of music to inform the listener of the intensity of the situation. Along with intense music, the author also incorporates scenes of professionals using big words, such as "tsunami" and "nightmare." The use of such words, also helps to exemplify the severity of the situation. The video takes an interesting turn, when scenes of the millionaires and billionaires are shown. This is interesting because this type of music is usually used in movies where the main character takes his fancy car for a ride, or has just blown up a huge building. As Americans, we watch a lot of movies. Music is a big part of the music industry, and as movie watchers, we have become aware of how different types of music mean different things. The author of this video took advantage of this, when he used two very different styles of music to represent both sides of his video.
The video we picked showed how things that goes around in todays world. This shows the political side of the lifestyle we live in today. It appeal to the common people in the society also.
The video's focus on those who benefit from Wall Street was interesting. In agreement with everyone else, logos were present and definitely make people think. The text that pop up throughout the video have quotes that initiate thought. The quote about trust really is thought provoking, when Michael Capuano stated that "rob some of your and they say the same thing". He is making a point that trust has been lost before and it's hard to gain or really know if someone is honest. Ethos come into play throughout the video and the direction it takes to light a spark with its viewers. The mistrust and dishonesty of Wall Street is notable throughout the video and things said will anger viewers. The interview processes throughout the video were interesting. One thing that stood out was when one interviewee seemed upset with the question and claimed he didn't have to answer that. Why didn't he want to answer that question? It's as if there are things they are hiding from the public.
I found this video has similar topic to my ARP topic. The author uses logos to demonstrate the wealth gap between the rich and the poor. The evidence and pictures of famous people make the video more persuasive. In some way, this is also a use of pathos. By both showing the sign of house selling and the lavish villa on the beach, the photos in the video set up a contrast between rich and poor, which lead the audience to the anger and attration to the poor people's life. Personally this is really a smart way to impress and persuade the audience.
The creator of this video uses clips of interviews of different people to show the viewers what is the public’s attitude towards economic crisis. The creator tries to use these clips to persuade its viewers to blame the persons living at the top because they robbed most of people’s property. In order to support this idea, the creator also uses numbers as logos to show the differences between normal Americans and 1% person, and it will definitely make viewers feel angry.
This video looks like designed for pointing out that the brunt of unemployment , which is based on logos. On the middle part of the video, the question that asking how much normal income in wall street can be presumed to attract to audiences' interesting about basic knowledgement of financial condition. Also, this video is oftenly showed some other people's quotation for helping more detail understanding.
