Those are the three primary mediums for selling ideas in modern society. Podcasting is a niche phenomenon, and even the most popular podcasts have only a few million subscribers. And while photography clearly can be used to create change in society, it doesn't do so anywhere near as often as the other mediums.
- Jarwain 9y agoVideo production is definitely one of the primary mediums for the communication of ideas, because of how versatile it is. A podcast is basically a video, without the visual aspect. The visuals accompanying video provides another dimension through which an idea may be conveyed. Photographs are just snapshots of a video. A photograph can represent multiple ideas, and provide an idea of the story's plot. Video, in comparison, provides a running narrative and dynamicism vs the staticness of photography.
- GuiA 9y agoSounds like some post hoc rationalization. I could similarly state that a video is just a piece of interactive multimedia , without the interactive aspect - not sure what that brings to the table regarding the definition of literacy.
- GuiA 9y ago> Those are the three primary mediums for selling ideas in modern society. Again, according to whom? Is this some generalization you're making up on the spot, or a statement that is quantifiably provable? It's really not clear to me that video production is used to sell ideas significantly more than radio, or highway billboards, or public speaking.
