The video starts
off by the narrator saying, “A tragedy brings a community together.” Most people like to hear stories about people
gathering together, because it shows how nice people can be among the chaos the
world has. Starting off with that quote, grabs the audience’s attention as well
as the subject of the video. The subject of the video is Lorissa Green, who
died tragically in a car crash. The
video shows a strong character in Alexis Green, who does not seem to be that
much older than Lorissa Green. She speaks at the vigil to everyone there; usually
it is the parental figure that is shown on camera talking the person who has
passed away. Using Alexis in the video shows how strong she
is by speaking to everyone, it pulls the audience’s heart strings.
The
video has a strong visual impact because it shows people gathering around the
place where Green has passed away. He shows people holding candles as well as
people hugging and crying. After Green’s sister speaks, he shows a clip of the
place where the accident happens with a bunch of candles are lite up, with a
voice over of people at the vigil singing “Amazing Grace.” It then goes on to
show short clips of interviewing people that know her, which enforces pulling
the audience’s heart strings because it shows that Green was loved and will be
missed by her friends as well as family.
Unfortunately,
it is common when a car crash happens and most of them do not get reported in
the news. The reason this one was
reported was because of the emotional engagement that it brings to the
audience. Lorissa Green was a sixteen
year old high school student when she died in a car crash. The video also shows
two of Lorissa’s Friends talking about her. One says that she had her whole
life ahead of her, while the other talks about the last time she spoke to her,
which reinforces the emotional impact the story brings.
The
broad appeal that the story brings is that car crashes are deadly and that it
can happen to anyone, it doesn’t matter the age anyone can be hurt or killed.
It also shows that the family is not the only one who suffers the loss of
losing someone they love, but the friends as well. Which why the person narrating
mentions that “a tragedy brings a community together,” to show just how much
car crashes as well as someone dying
affects people.
