The visual I chose for this assignment was the Green Day music video of “Wake Me Up When September Ends.” This image attempts to persuade the audience very well with its ethos, pathos, logos, kairos, and other persuasive techniques. A full range of emotions are depicted in the film, with everyday people trying to convey a message of building the future for the betterment of society. So many different visuals all in one creates a large view of topics in which to discuss and should be sufficient in elements to be analyzed.
The author is Green day of course, but Green Day represents this ages youth, and this is exactly to whom they are speaking to. The audience is people there age, late teens to twenties. This gives them some credibility of how they are representing the present day, and the ideals that are shared among most of our age.
My interpretation of this visual is that it promotes the betterment of society and of our world that we live in for the benefit of the future. They show a specific scene in which a young man signs up in the military in an attempt to make his future a better place for him and his girlfriend. They use several different scenes in which the viewer can comprehend all of the different feelings surrounding the situation.
