Audience:
What does the audience know about this topic, text or idea? Do they have opinions that you need to address?
- My audience will most likely be people who only care about the technical aspects of filmmaking or those who like to keep up with what is happening at the center of the industry.
- The whole argument is opinion based and every audience member of mine will have an opinion.
What do you know about the values that members of the audience might hold?
- Most of these filmmakers will have began their careers shooting on one medium or the other.
- whether their careers are young or have many accolades already piled up, they grew up and started on either film or digital so it will be hard to get them to switch sides so abruptly.
What type of research or evidence will be persuasive to your audience?
- Showing the technical side and the advantages of one medium or the other and the capabilities of them.
- Also showing the economical consequences of shooting on either digital or film
- Then I believe a timeline and projection of what digital will be able to do in 10 years will be persuasive.
What visual images or elements might your audience respond to?
- Side by side visual comparisons of scenes shot on digital and film will be very helpful, also graphs of costs and equipment needed for one or the other will be helpful
Why is your audience reading or listening to your argument? Are they trying to broaden their horizons?
- I believe they would listen to my argument because I claim to have a solution to this issue.
- I think that, like me, people are tired of hearing about this struggle and want to just get back to making movies
- Also I think they value another opinion of someone else on this issue
- I am trying to show them that there isn't a need for all this un-needed quarreling over this topic
- I hope that by providing an unbiased look and also a lot of evidence to both sides, I can motivate people to use what they thing will make their film the best

Genre:
Genre 1- Article written by me for elements of film magazine
1. Here is a perfect article for this website, it shows both sides and will be perfect to present evidence and also persuade people
2. This is also a good article of similar type of article, It has more anecdotal evidence and also more personal touches.
What is the function of this genre?
- This genre is supposed to present information in a clear cut way to people so that it is easy to understand and unbiased.
- i chose this because it is the easier of the genres to present both sides of information without seeming biased.
What is the setting of the genre?
- Hopefully in a big film industry magazine read by people who care about how films are made, like the hollywood reporter or something
How might you use the themes we have discussed in class to your advantage?
- Given the fact that this is purely personal preference, emotional appeals and logical appeals will be most effective in persuading my audience.
What types of visual elements can be used?
- As I already said, graphs and side by side comparisons will be most effective.
What type of style will you use in this genre?
- Personal and emotional appeals will start out my argument strong. Then, adding in logical appeals with visual evidence and graphs will strengthen it even the more. A proposal argument will be most effective and will bring the whole argument to a nice close.
Genre 2: Video
Here is a great example of a debate style video that would do really well for my argument.
Here is a side by side compression video that presents the differences side by side for people to see.
What is the function of this genre. why did you choose it?
- Film people are visual learners, as we are visual people, so a video would be very natural and easy for people to understand.
What is the setting?
- YouTube is the most obvious but also a show like AMC movie talk or something like that.
How might you use rhetorical appeals?
- I can still use emotional appeals in this particular genre, however logic and numbers and visual compression would be much more effective in this such case.
What type of visual elements can be used?
- It's a video, it has to have visuals
What type of style would you use in this genre?
- This genre could be more informal and debate like, as both sides need to be presented, a pro/con argument would be effective here.
Responses/ Actions:
Positive responses-
- People realize there is no need for a big fight on this issue, and they leave people alone to shoot on what they want.
- people understand that film is completely subjective and don't chastise people for not liking their method
Negative responses-
- "I don't care, film is still better and always will be and digital is killing filmmaking!" Well, good luck shooting things in the future there bud
- "You have only ever shot on digital how would you know?" This is true however I have work on project that were shot on film so I saw how it makes people act differently.
- "Film rules!" Ok then.
You seem to have a good understanding of your audience, as well as what genres will be most appealing to them. If you make a video about the pointlessness of the debate, and post it to Youtube, I think that might make some members of your audience think that you are biased towards digital simply because of the medium you used. On the other hand, if you use didital media, your audience is more likely to consist mostly of pro-digital filmmakers.
