Example Of A Lucent Informative Speech
Hello and good morning/afternoon Mr Inman, and fellow class members. My name is oih and I will be talking about how documentaries have the power to change and influence the world. I have chosen a documentary called “lucent” “that’s” (L.U.C.E.N.T) it is an Australian made film, written and directed by Chris Delforce. It follows the story of an Australian pig farming industry and how they operate,(slight pause) and the process that’s required in order to make, what everyone knows as “bacon”; Chris Delforce has created this film “lucent” in order for him to catcher “as he claims “the highlights of the day to day cruelty that has been accepted by the industry as a standard practice.
“Lucent” is a Latin word meaning “glowing or giving off light”

By trying to catcher the shots and the angle placement of the camera whilst filming various pigs being slaughtered in an inhumanly manner, these range from filthy and crowded confinement to surgical mutilation without pain relief, an cruelty as the film is trying to get the viewers to realise the truth behind the pig farming industry and the fact that these are all considered as a standard practice. Example of this would be cutting of the pig’s tail or removing its genitals without the relief of pain killers, the director Mr Delforce is hoping that, by utilizing these styles and techniques, he would be able to reach out to the viewers and hope that they will gain supporters on the fight against animal.
In the process of making this film Chris Delforce captured 50 farms across the country a.k.a Australia as he claims that all the pigs are confined to sow and farrowing stalls, he also claims that some of the pigs would be kept near dead baby piglets and other pigs with sores that may have been

These forms of techniques allow the film to draw its viewers’ attention and persuade the viewer in anyway that is wanted by the producers. In the end documentaries do have the power to change and influence the world, however it all comes down to the filmmakers, and they have to be strategic, authentic and collaborative in order for the documentary to have its full

    While 'documentary ' is the name of a genre, the term is used very broadly to cover a range of film types. What these texts have in common is that they all intend to persuade their audience to a particular viewpoint but that is where the similarities end. While documentaries are made primarily to entertain and inform audiences, there are many factors that determine the way in which they will achieve their purposes. And purpose is a driving force in determining the style a documentary will take. Some films may be created purely because of the passion and vision of a director, others may be produced as a form of propaganda, pedalling a particular viewpoint and still others may be arise because an institution or organisation feels they need to get their message out to the world. So while the genre…

    Documentaries in today’s society are a way to provide the audience with true facts about history, nature, current events, etc. The agenda of them is to try to persuade us the audience into believing what is being stated in the documentary. Vik Muniz in Waste Land does a good job persuading his audience by showing how he is a hero by incorporating the pickers into a giant piece of art. Similarly, by focusing on the catadores low-class life, the themes: classism, the art of salvation and environmentalism overall play a huge in this working class by having an artist give the pickers an opportunity to earn more money into pieces of art.…

    Pigs unlike cows and chickens are highly intelligent animals. If you kill one pig in front of the others, they know what is occurring and they go crazy with fear knowing that they are next. As babies, they are exposed to painful disfigurements without any anesthesia or pain relievers. Their tail is cut off to decrease tail biting and is confined to overcrowded pens with bars and concrete floors where they live until they reach a specific slaughter weight. While they linger in these overcrowded environments, they are also exposed to extreme crowded conditions during transportation. One pig expert wrote, “death losses during transport are high, amounting to more than eight million per year. It is still cheaper so it becomes a moral issue. Is it right to overload and save $.25 per head while the overwhelming contributes to 80,000 death per year?” (factoryfarming.com). Sadly, this treatment is characteristic of factory farming, which puts profits before of animal…

    I have chosen to write about the difference between fact and fiction between a documentary and a docudrama. Between how important getting information out to the public and what sells to the viewing public for entertainment. I would like to state that I feel quite fortunate that I watched the documentary, “The Teena Brandon Story”, first then I watched the movie, “Boys Don’t Cry”. I had viewed the movie years ago; I had heard that this movie was a true story based on fact from the documentary. In my second viewing from an analytical standpoint, let me just say I was quite floored about how could they call, “Boys Don’t Cry” a docudrama when there were so many important facts that were excluded from this film. Both film and documentary did receive Academy Awards.…

    What makes a documentary worth watching? Watching this documentary was the last thing from boring but, when looking at the topic you would think otherwise. “What makes a good documentary film? The essential element of a good documentary is simply, the story. The audience must have an intellectual and emotional tie to the film. The audience must have a “pull” to get to the end of the film, not an excuse to get away from it” (Dunlop 1). The science and the facts behind this are not nearly as interesting as the drama between the people, the DEP (Department of Environment Protection), the health department, the oil companies, and the government. Making the emotional ties to the people who have suffered and making a connect between stories makes it very interesting for anyone who has feelings and can sympathize with a person. The “pull” is when you find out the government, who is also in charge of the DEP, could have something to do with these incidents. These strategies make this information film easier and more enjoyable to…

    Slumming It Essay

    Documentaries are constructions that offer different views of reality that persuades an audience to accept the version they offer by altering our attitudes or ideologies. The 2010 documentary ‘Slumming It’, by Kevin McCloud demonstrates this concept, through an investigation into one of the most extreme urban environments on earth: Dharavi, Mumbai. This documentary explores the idea that, as quoted by Prince Charles: “the west has much to learn from societies and places that are poorer in material terms, are in many senses influentially richer in the ways they live as communities.” The term used, ‘the west,’ indicates that this documentary is targeted at an audience of people living in first world countries, which are economically strong, such as Australia. Through the use of construction processes of choice of shots, a focaliser, an enigma, supporting evidence and rhetorical devices the documentary was strongly effective in changing ones attitudes and ideologies.…

    Documentaries are films based on fact, in which to some sees it as a textbook in a film. From exotic locations and speaking to experts, directors of these documentaries either try to show a point, prove their thesis, or just to bring awareness to their topic.
