Choose two or more of the visual media pieces and create a thesis that expresses how the visual cues (combined with sound cues in some cases) are used to produce different effects. Then discuss how each of the pieces you chose used visual (and possibly sound) effects. How were the effects the same? How were they different? Do you think any of the visual cues could have been used more effectively? Try to analyze all of the visual cues that you see – light, shadow, clothing, facial expression, size, color – everything.

A piece of visual media is manipulated by its creator to have a specific effect on the viewer.

Effects of visual media that we have viewed today:

1.Prof. Bethany’s brochure about the Council of Thought and Action – to inform and attract

2.The cartoon about antimatter, dark matter, and doesn’t matter – the effect is to make people laugh and feel better for a while

3.The cave man cartoons that show primitive men talking like businessmen at a meeting – show that human nature does not change just because the rules and procedures change

4.The Dubai Airport flash mob—to cheer and unify a multicultural crowd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D9SFJRhFgI

5.The abstract painting by Jackson Pollock that was sold for US$120 million – one person liked it because of the way it combined colors; another disliked it because it did not present a defined idea

6.The imagery in Robert Frost’s poem “Acquainted with the Night”

7.The imagery in Langston Hughes’s poem “I, Too”

8.The imagery in Emily Dickinson’s poem “Tell All the Truth But Tell It Slant”

9.The Statue of Liberty
