Visual Medium- Jimmy Helfrich


There could be a variety of visual mediums that could be used to project the aims of my rhetoric project: implementation of bioengineered foods. While I believe that there are many mediums that could have the same effect, I feel that the most powerful one could be a long documentary. This field is so broad in the sense that there are so many ways to bioengineer foods that the only way for people o firmly grasp it is to watch an extended movie/documentary on how exactly its done, what it can do, and the benefits from what it can do. Understanding the ins and outs of genetic engineering is essential for one to be completely on board with it. It is such a complex topic and I think if someone is advocating for it they need to explain all the ins and outs that are related to the field. With the documentary I would advertise it heavily with an amazing trailer. Think about it: a good trailer is what really makes people watch certain movies and incorporating this with the documentary would get people to watch it. Also, I would try to get the documentary on Netflix because there are a lot of famous documentaries on Netflix that are well known. This is because of the hardcore documentary-watchers that watch all the different documentaries on Netflix, and thus brings these movies to fame. Also, bringing it to Netflix would expose it to a wide variety of people and this is essential for promoting a specific idea. However, a documentary on genetically engineered foods would be completely out of the question for me because of the amount of money and resources that would be needed. To make a good documentary it would require a lot of professional work, and this is something that is completely unrealistic for this time.
