The best way to hook your viewer in your documentary is to use emotion because evoking empathy is much easier through emotion than through facts because emotions are controllable and manipulable.
ReplyDeleteI think we're going to use emotional appeal because it is by far the most effective at capturing a viewers attention.
ReplyDeleteThe best way to hook the viewer is going to be the use of emotions and feelings. We want people to care about documentaries and usually the only way to accomplish that is to appeal to their emotions and make them want to watch the documentary. Facts just make the viewer gain information but it doesn't make him or her think. It just informs them.
ReplyDeleteWe think that using ethos is the best way to hook people into our documentary. We think that emotion can draw the viewer, and connect them to what people are actually feeling, essentially transforming them from a passive viewer, to an active viewer.
ReplyDeleteThe ultimate way to hook your viewer in your documentary is by using pathos, interesting subjects, and factual evidence. Emotion is more successful at evoking empathy because it creates a loophole to another world that cannot be defined.
ReplyDeleteUsing emotion is definitely effective towards our audience. Making a connection with the audience is very important in order to gain sympathy for the issue and understadning of it.
ReplyDeleteFacts hook your audience more than emotions. The use of emotions can make an audience feel bad about a way they do something. ASPCA commercials make people feel bad and they don't like watching it, so while using emotion can really get to the viewers using the wrong emotions or to many emotions will lead to disapproval by the viewers
ReplyDeleteWe believe using emotion is much more effective especially combined with some statistics but statistics alone don't pull in the audience as much because it is just numbers on a screen versus a real life relatable story that the audience can sympathize with.
ReplyDeleteWe think that to hook the audience we shock them through their emotions by stating facts. We need the audience to feel empathy for the athletes in poverty and want to make a change.
ReplyDeleteWe would start the documentary with dynamic visuals and introduce a character immediately that viewers would form an emotional attachment to. Facts and statistics would come much later in the movie.
ReplyDeleteEmotion is more effective because apathetic viewers are more likely to continue watching and emotion can better connect with viewers are far as personal experiences are concerned.
ReplyDeleteEmotion is the best way because facts sometimes do not appeal as closely to the specific viewer. you must appeal to their interests which will trigger their emotions.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to hook the audience I would use both emotion and facts because they are both affective in portraying the story
ReplyDeleteTo hook your viewer into your documentary, you need to have a connection that connects the views to the charters of the documentary. The struggles that the people go through will deffantly evoke empathy
ReplyDeleteI think that emotion is the best way to hook the audience because you are touching them in a way that will keep them interested throughout the documentary.
