Fracking VideosAnalysis Paper

 

Hello I have a professional reading and writing assignment. Please use academic words 

Watch these three videos first and ask yourself: what is the purpose? who is the audience?

Video 1

Animation of Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking) (Links to an external site.)Animation of Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking)

Video 2
How does fracking work? – Mia Nacamulli (Links to an external site.)How does fracking work? - Mia Nacamulli

Video 3

Fracking 101: Why why fracked gas is dirty and dangerous (Links to an external site.)

Instructions

For each video, analyze purpose:

  1. What do you think the purpose is?
  2. What specific visual or textual elements of the work suggest the purpose you have identified?

For each work, analyze audience:

  1. Identify primary/secondary audiences, as appropriate
  2. Identify all relevant audience characteristics and categories for each audience (i.e., knowledge level, personality, biases, etc.)
  3. Explain your reasons for characterizing the audience the way you do (i.e., What’s your evidence from the video for your conclusions?).

Compare the three analyses:

  1. Are the purposes the same for each work? Different? How do you know?
  2. Are the audiences the same for each work? Different? How do you know?
  3. What are your final thoughts on the trustworthiness and credibility of these sources?
