ANALYSIS: From your answers in the self-assessment, create a word cloud enclosed in a shape of your
choice. See the example below. Draw in your notebook.

LESSON PROPER: Analyzing truthfulness and relevance of the material viewed depends largely on one’s
understanding of how the elements making it interrelatedly work to achieve the desired effects on the
viewer and of the strategies employed to bring the viewer as close as possible to the ideas and experiences
communicated by the video.
The following figure shows the elements that make up the following viewing materials: 1) TV show, 2) film,
3) music video, and 4) commercial.

Elements of Communication
Let’s enumerate them one by one.

The first element is communicator. This is also known as the author, creator, or producer of a
message. Behind the production of TV programs, movies, music videos, and commercials is the
communicator. The communicator can be a person, a group, or an institution.
The second element is message. The message refers to the idea expressing layers of meanings from
the communicator. It can be real or imaginary.
The third element is audience. The audience, like the communicator, refers to a person, group, or
organization to whom the message is either addressed (specific audience) or invoked (general audience)
and from whom feedback is expected. It can be grouped according to age, gender, education,
socioeconomic status, among other demographics.
The fourth element is context. Context refers to the time and place of communication, together with
the conditions from the physical environment. Communicators, who are at a certain place and time, send
messages in consideration of the things happening in their social milieu. On viewers’ end, they can arrive
at sound interpretation of what they are watching if they know the period and the conditions of the society
surrounding the creation of the video.

The fifth element is purpose. Video production and showing are done with overlapping reasons.
Nevertheless, for every medium, there would always be a dominant purpose among these four: to explain,
to describe, to entertain, and to persuade. Similarly, viewers spend time watching videos to achieve
personal and social goals. To stay informed about current events and to relieve stress and anxiety are
some examples of which. Caution should be made, however, because there are videos created to harm
others and encourage viewers to accept falsehoods and lies as truth. On this note, paying more attention
to the relevance and truthfulness of the messages communicated via traditional and new media is
important to avoid ending up in a communication situation characterized by disinformation and
propaganda.
The sixth element is modality. Modality refers to the senses involved in decoding messages. A text
message is known to be in verbal modality. A song is auditory, while a drawing is visual. A pat on the
shoulder is a haptic kind of modality. In the case of multimedia materials like music video, they can be
aptly described as multimodal in that they contain two or more modalities of language use.
The seventh element is medium. Medium is the technical means by which messages are
communicated (e.g. commercial, song, news). It can also mean the devices used in communication (e.g.
TV, cell phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, projectors).
The eighth element is exigency. Exigency refers to needs and situations that cause the production
of video materials. For example, the destruction of the environment inspired a group of environmentalists
to launch an advocacy video about climate change.
The ninth element is circulation. Circulation refers to the method of distributing the message as in
print for newspaper, broadcast for radio and TV programs, and digital for movies.
The tenth element is genre. Genre is the other term for class or category in which the viewing
material belongs. The classification of the viewing material is primarily done according to the purpose it
serves. Broadly speaking, there is one dominant purpose for creating a video. Conversely, there are videos
with multilayered purposes. Either hoping to achieve one or a combination of purposes, writers proceed
with clearly and logically organizing their ideas in parts which they think would be in conformity with the
established ways of expression in one speech community or group. The choice of words and sentence
structures to constitute the recognizable stages of the genre are, from the very start, shaped by the
purpose/s of the genre.
Both from the perspectives of the communicator and the audience, familiarity with the features of
the various genres of viewing materials, more often than not, leads to the effective and efficient production
and consumption of media. That said, it is fitting to discuss briefly the features of four viewing materials,
including their sub-genres.

I. Television Program – a scheduled show broadcast through TV. It can be watched on cell phone or
online.

II. Movie- a film shown in a theater, on television, or on the Net. Movies can be classified depending

movie genres:

A. Action-a film genre in which the hero or heroes are pushed into a progression of occasions that
commonly incorporate savagery, expanded battling, actual accomplishments, salvages and
hysterical pursues. Common action scenes in movies are, by and large, about blasts, vehicle

B. Animation- one in which singular drawings, canvases, or representations are captured outline by
