Another reason why the sea is wearing a mask of innocence is because it lures people in with its beauty and scenery. When the person gets close enough, it sucks them in and kills them. The sea doesn’t do it itself, but with the help of the capaill uisce. Also, the ocean is hypnotizing all animals and people to come to it, just to feed the capaill uisce. That is how the ocean is wearing a mask of innocence and is hypnotizing to people.
That was just mind blowing to me and it showed why this business of shark finning is such a huge business. Also the movie talks about line fishing which I have never heard of before this video. Line fishing is when a fishing boat takes miles and miles of fishing line full of baited hooks and tosses it out in the water for fish, sharks, turtles, or just any type of sea creature to bit or get tangled in and die. Line fishing is illegal in most countries but there is such a huge business in it a lot of countries will not do anything to stop the fishermen from doing it. For example when Rob and the crew of the Sea Shepard were trying to stop the Varadera from line fishing the Varadera crew was let off the hook by the Costa Rica government even though they were illegally fishing, but the Sea Shepard was charged with 7 counts of attempted murder.
Discuss how the director of The Cove subverts expected conventions of documentary to persuade the audience to a point of view. Despite conforming to the conventions of an investigative documentary ‘The Cove’ covertly seeks to persuade viewers to a particular point of view. The film is set in the small fishing village of Taiji Japan, and features the industry based around capturing and or killing dolphins. The purpose of the film is to inform its audience of the industry and try to persuade them to become activists to stop it. Although Louie Psihoyos has used fundamental aspects of a documentary for this film, such as location shots and interviews with key people, he has diverged from a traditional documentary through the inclusion of visually confronting footage and persuasive filmic techniques.
There is a 250,000 dollar fine for anyone who is caught fishing for a Great White. If I were in charge of trying to keep the Great Whites from becoming extinct, the first thing I would do is make sure that the seals and sea lions are protected, because without them, the shark would not survive due to a lack of food sources. Next, I would make it a heavier fine for anyone caught fishing for the sharks. Because these are a rare breed of shark, it will be hard to monitor their numbers, but I would want to tag as many as possible, so I would be able to study and track where they go.
This method is the last step into sealing the deal with the audience because as effective as targeting the audience with a likable celebrity endorsement and appealing to their emotions directly is, the audience still needs to see the hard facts and statistics to be able to have solid proof that what the commercial presents is true. In the commercial, logos were used by presenting the audience with facts about the abused animals and evidence of the abused animals and their conditions through videos. First, when the commercial introduce the audience about the issue, the videos they present consist of the abused animals. However, when they inform the audience that there are ways to help these animals such as through donations and adoptions, the videos they present shows the rescue team from the organization rescuing the animals from the poor condition. They informed the audience of the condition of these animals and how with just pennies a day, the audience can make the difference between life and death for these animals.
It leads to some more serious questions indicated in his next paragraph: do we have the right to exploit animals? where should we draw the line? After expressing all his personal experience, Suzuki advances his argument. After Suzuki’s description of his personal anecdotes, he incorporates some other examples and quotations to help solidify his thesis. At first, he talks about how different it is to observe the whales rove in the wild comparing to those he had seen in the Vancouver Public Aquarium.
Fahrenheit 9/11 versus Loose Change While documentaries can be defined as cinematic pieces built upon facts, there are many ways directors go about presenting facts to their audience according to the type of response they are looking to instill. In doing so, the audience will discover that there are many similarities between pieces, however there are also many differences as well. This is especially true when considering works such as Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore, as well as Loose Change by Dylan Avery. While both of these documentaries are based on the same event, the story, facts presented, and overall demeanor have similarities and differences. Overall both of these documentaries seem to suggest that our country, often thought of as an invincible superpower, has an imperfect system in our government.
The structure of a film has a great impact on the reaction from the viewers. There are two main aspects of a film that make it have the reaction from audiences. One is the director style which contains everything the directors choose to do to make the film flow like a book. There are directors who are known as auteurs. This is when people brainstorm on film ideas of their own and basically does everything from writing the script and picking their own actors to supervising the writing to make sure it is to their standards.

He makes it clear to the audience that the development of the reef into a marina will be the loss of 'something precious' and will lead to the 'franchise, chlorination and sterilisation' of the wildlife. He appeals by giving examples of the 'wilderness experience' that is the reef. By using the rhetorical question 'how many places can you go to where you can swim with a whale shark, be circled by manta rays and see a dugong' he is showing the audience the uniqueness of the location, giving more reason for the protection and the prevention of the development. He also takes an attacking argument on the 'five star resorts' of the world, saying that when people return from a holiday, they do not remember the 'shopping mall like' hotels, 'seen one, seen them all' type buildings, unlike nature which is unique and diverse in each location. Why replace uniqueness with
