To The Stage is one of my favorite songs by Asking Alexandria and is also one of my favorite music videos. Asking Alexandria is a metal core band that formed around 2003.("Asking Alexandria.") In this music video they portray everything that a normal rock star is into drugs, women and playing music. In the beginning of the video they show at first a pill falling from the air, their prep before the concert where there out and about shopping and at the arcade doing their thing. Then they get a call that say's they have to set up early. It shows them for a few short seconds playing and then jumps to an after party. Danny Worsnop the lead singer is having a great time, then his drink gets spiked by his hook up for the night, he ends up dead at the end of the video. Some people would call them drug promoters, I would want to say that this group made this video so they can show audiences how irresponsible their life style is to scare them out of doing it.
Instead of writing them off a party promoters, I can conclude they are only saying beautiful women are dangerous, …show more content…

It does this by showing how distraught Ben Bruce was when he found Danny dead at the very end of this video. The pathos in this video is tricky because the video doesn’t cause pathos with out the music in a lot of movies they run into the same problem without the music the pathos would not be at all strong. This song is an upbeat party song. The song and the video work together to definitely make the night seem regretful. The music and video used pathos to create excitement, sadness, anger and joy all in one song. They did this through scene transitions and having the music exactly on point. Pathos created the excitement because of the party the sadness when Danny died the anger in the beginning where it shows them working the grind and joy from the way they looked when they played

In this HSBC advertisement, pathos begins right from the start as a, “what will happen next” factor comes into place. The audience may assume that the beginning is slow, adding that the rest of the video is slow. The background music adds an effect because it is also slow, with a soft voice. But, instead, the theme changes and it become loud with destruction. Pathos involves an effect, thus, it creates an effect where the audience is wondering what is going on.

“Dance me Outside” by W. P. Kinsella tells the story of little Margaret Wolfchild, an eighteen year old Indigenous mother who is brutally murdered by Clarence Gaskell at the Blue Quills Dance Hall (21). The film by the same name attempts to convey a similar message, but there are key differences such as overlooking the Gaskell’s trial. The broader scope of film allows for the story to be told through multiple perspectives, aiding in rounding out the characters and providing them with a realistic dynamism. In her book “Iskwewak Kah Yaw Ni Wahkomakanak” Janice Acoose criticizes Kinsella’s portrayal of Indigenous women, particularly a character from a different story of Kinsella’s named Linda Starr (69). Acoose asserts that Kinsella “exhibits

Manipulation has always been the verdict of human nature. Many will go to any circumstances to get their way and throughout history it was explained through three main techniques: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Sense forth they are used by various companies today through advertisement which include: social media, magazines, commercials, etc. Each of the methods can be used separate or through combination to obtain the goal of persuading a consumer to purchase - their product at display. Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response (Higgins).

As he leaves, he has to ask for twenty dollars back to fill up his car. It’s not really depressing in the way that Eve’s death was, but shows the life of a struggling man and his beloved dog. It’s almost even more sad. There are also many uplifting moments in the story, yet all of the happy moments are tinged with sadness. The sad moments are also tinged with happiness.

The social construction of race and ethnicity takes place around the world. Many people define their position according to race. Michael Omi and Howard Winant define race through the theory of racial formation, which is socially constructed not biology. In Janelle Monae’s music video Many Moons, racial discourse in the US is presented gradually in Omi and Winant’s racial formation theoretical framework. The use of montage images as well as radical lyrics as a voice by Monae provides her performance on race as a social concept which is not essential to human existence; instead, her conception of oppression of racism from the past to nowadays is a process being transformed by political struggle.

That theme is retrospecting on your life, and seeing what you’ve done with your life that you wanted to complete, but also what you haven’t completed. In “The Last Night…”, a man reflects on his life with his wife as they know that the end of the world is approaching. In “Marionettes, Inc.”, a man reflects on the trip to Rio he never got to take because a robot is taking over his life. In “Kaleidoscope”, an astronaut named Hollis has to reflect over his life as he is plummeting to his death in space after his rocket blows up. When we are dying, we find out if we have completed our life goals, and remember the ones we forgot.

The lack of complex editing and the use of the same type of shots rather than an assembly of multiple different shots of the same thing relaxes the audience instead of putting them on the edge of their seats like Pyscho would. The audience that the film Singin’ in

All the songs have an ironic touch to them or are used to give some background information about history in a funny and easy way for their public. The song ‘look on the bright side of life‘ is one of the songs with an ironic touch. At the part where they play this song we can see people who were crucified and one of them starts singing this song, so it’s ironic, because there isn’t any way to be positive about anything at that moment. Another example is the song ‘Knights of the round table’. Here they try to give some background information about history in an easy way to understand for their public.
