Video Rhet Analysis

Rhetorical Analysis 3
For your third rhetorical analysis, you’re going to pull a video from YouTube and write about it. You’ll be able to draw from all of our readings for your analytical framework. You should end up with 500-750 words.
![Page 4: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Race and Rhetoric
One of the things I’ve tried to keep front and center for you is the rhetoric of race. I want to look at a few quick-shots of rappers, then we’re going to watch one entire video. As we watch, ask yourself three questions:
1) Who is this for? 2) What is this telling me? 3) How does this reflect or distort reality?
![Page 5: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
![Page 6: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Radioactive
Carly Marissa
Kellie
![Page 7: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Ethos• Newer band but they are successful • Making the video obscure is kind of eyecatching, we
are more likely to remember it.
![Page 8: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pathos• Violence juxtaposed with the stuffed animals: It’s
shocking • Associates childhood memories with violence
(graphic and mature).. Perhaps shows that we experience violence when were young at the hands of adults oppressive?
![Page 9: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Metaphor• The video represents the older generation in a authorative and
obsolete and when the girl wins it signifies the younger generation and the way that we approach problems stemming from our upbringing and the culture and technology we are surrounded by. The fact that she wins ultimately says that the youth is taking over the older generation’s authority.
• This connects to the song title itself ‘Radioactive’- becasue the video indicates a sense of reaction or change to create a new idea, or sort of unification to cause a reaction
![Page 10: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EXAMPLES
![Page 11: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
STAN• By Eminem
![Page 12: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pathos• Eminem uses pathos as the main rhetorical driver for
the “Stan” video. He makes Stan’s girlfriend pregnant and implies an abusive relationship. He has Stan kill himself by driving drunk off a bridge after maybe killing his pregnant girlfriend. Both these plot points draw an emotion from the viewer. He also used weather to create emotions, like rain and darkness to create a melancholy and unsettling atmosphere.
![Page 13: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Audience• “Stan” is a cautionary tale against becoming
obsessed with anyone or anything. Stan dies as a result of his infatuation with Eminem. Because the majority of people watching this video will be Eminem fans, Eminem was reaching his target audience well by having the main character of the video also be an Eminem fan.
![Page 14: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ethos• Speaking as himself, the object of obsession,
Eminem has ethos and credibility. He also gains ethos by creating this video to speak to fans about not being obsessed, being abusive, or driving drunk.
![Page 15: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Before He Cheats
Dan and Brian
![Page 16: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pathos • In this video the pathos is a broken heart, anger,
and the need for revenge. • The video tries to relate to others who have been
through a similar experience.
![Page 17: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Kairos • Carrie is mad at her boy friend for cheating• The timing of her revenge is immediate– As soon as she sees the cheating she ruins the truck
![Page 18: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ethos • Carrie was cheated on. • She makes it seem as if she has ruined a truck
before. • She lost her mind, and became the authority.
![Page 19: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Video 2: Eminem- Stan
Abby Dugger & Frank Smith

Kairos• Kairos- perfect timing relevant to the contemporary
world, bad timing/communication
![Page 21: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Style• Style- Dark images with dark message mirrors the
style of the artist who raps about family issues/violence and other taboo topics.
![Page 22: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Remediation• Remediation- It is a series of letters remediated into
song lyrics, then from a song to a music video
![Page 23: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Audience• Audience- His audience is troubled youth with the
same issues that he presents in his music “they don’t know what it was like for kids like us growing up”
![Page 24: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Delivery• Delivery- the Dido song in the background
references rain directly mirrors the final scene when it is pouring rain.
![Page 25: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Grenade by Bruno Mars
By Brianne Kistler
Kylie McChesney
![Page 26: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Metaphor• Bruno carries around the piano that signifies the
emotional weight he carries around from the relationship. It displays the one-sided nature of the relationship. This action is so drastic and it backs up his claim that he would do anything for her.
![Page 27: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pathos• This video appeals to our emotions because we feel
empathetic towards Bruno, because you are able to understand the severity of the pain he is going through (both by carrying the piano, and his emotions towards the girl). Also, the train at the end makes the audience feel his distress after being cheated on.
![Page 28: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ethos• The train itself shows how drastic/extreme Bruno
feels, and that he is willing to do what he claims in the lyrics of the song, in order to show the girl he is serious.
![Page 29: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Kairos• When Bruno shows up at her house, he catches her
in the act of cheating. It demonstrates how one-sided the relationship is emotionally, and if Bruno hadn’t showed up at that time, he might not have figured this out.
![Page 30: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

![Page 31: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Pathos• Dramatic quality of music video makes the viewer
empathize with the main character• Viewer feels sad when the old lady dies; witnessing
her time diminish to zero.• Fear for the final lady as her timer winds down
before her life is saved.
![Page 32: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Repetition • The music video follows a cycle: the man is saved
from a bus accident and then saves a woman at the end from a similar fate.
![Page 33: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Kairos• The video takes place in a modern time and
common setting allowing the audience assimilate the main character and setting
![Page 34: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• Music video starts off serious, alludes to potential chicken fight cliché with the band imprisoned underground
• Radioactive is a song about a post-apocalyptic world• Music video is not about a chicken fight but rather
an underground stuffed animal/Muppet fighting ring
• Music video devolves into absurdity with images such as a stuffed animal who has hung itself
![Page 36: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Contrast between bands who go the literal route of the meaning for their songs
• Attempt by band to show their audience that they do not take themselves too seriously with absurd comedy
• Achieves opposite effect
![Page 37: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Kairos•The idea of the song is timeless•He dresses trendy, so he video could look outdated in a few years

Pathos• All throughout the video, especially at the end when

![Page 41: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ethos• Eminem is a very popular rapper• Very well known for having a rough upbringing,
conveys that in most of his music
![Page 42: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Repetition• Continually showed images of Eminem on his wall,
highlighting his “crazed fandom”
![Page 43: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Style and Delivery• Did his rap from two different perspectives: the
crazed fan and his response to the crazed fan• Colors in the video are dull and dark

Savin’ Me – Nickelback
Nick DanielRyan McFarland
![Page 50: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Kairos
![Page 51: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Metaphor
![Page 52: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Delivery
![Page 53: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats Rhetorical Analysis
![Page 54: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
What happened• The singer caught her boyfriend cheating and destroyed his
truck– Carved her name into his seats– Smashed the lights with a baseball bat– Keyed it
• Saw him and gave him an angry look
![Page 55: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
What does it mean?• Pathos appeal – Anyone who has ever been cheated on would probably get
pretty angry at their ex watching this• Ethos appeal– Many people have probably been cheated on
• Kairos– It probably is important time-wise that this happened AFTER he
cheated the first time, because her destroying his car before that wouldn’t really be justified
![Page 56: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Take on MeKit Collins & Tyler McCarthy
![Page 58: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Analysis● Kairos - comics were becoming very popular at the time of
the video● Pathos - she fell in love with the lead singer
o Character driven infatuation - mirrors how fans may feel about lead singer - their specific audience
● Ethos - A-ha is quirky band - style and delivery portrays their personality
● Style - developing a fantasy world for love
![Page 59: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Switching up!
We need to fill in the few empty days in our curriculum. We’re going to do this as fairly as possible.
Your class gets to pick 3 days. The late class gets to pick three days. So… hit me with any ideas of topics you’d like to cover related to digital rhetoric.
![Page 60: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Research blogs
Make sure you’re paying attention to your research blogs. Some of you are doing AMAZING. So cool, so proud, so happy with your progress.
Some of you have no posts, or only one or two. BE CAREFUL. I’m not penalizing you now, but that’s a big chunk of grade pain if you don’t get those done.
![Page 61: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Thursday
Instead of meeting face-to-face on Thursday, we will be meeting online. You can choose to handle this however you’d like. You’ll be doing your workshop over your typography remixes. Allow me to show you that activity (alt tab time)
![Page 62: Digital Rhetoric and Writing, October 14th](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5497ab2aac79591d2e8b53c2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
With the time left
Pull up the Imagine Dragons “Radioactive” video (it’s part of the set we used last class). Based on what you learned in the reading about storyboarding, reverse engineer a storyboard for the video (or as much as you can– it will not be possible to do the whole video in the time we have).
I know you don’t know exactly how to do this; we’re starting tough to see what happens.
