Personally, I feel that aural modality is not as effective as visual modality. With that being said, aural modality does not allow the audience to create a perspective. Thus, they must view the situation through the eyes of the author; therefore, the audience’s viewpoint becomes absent. Through aural modality, the author would need much description in his writing to enable the reader to create a visual in his/her mind. On the contrary, a visual modality is the strongest element in conveying a message. Rather than just seeing, the audience can also feel what the author is trying to portray. Taking the following into account, I have concluded that a comic strip would best represent my Wires Narrative. The strip does not only contain a visual but also some script, making the message being conveyed more effective.
Katia,
ReplyDeleteWell done. I really love the way you superimposed the smiley face over your face and really provided that contrast between what you are saying and feeling. It really conveys that idea, which was central to your narrative. Great!
