Essay 3: Rhetorical Analysis of Public Argument in Film
In this essay, you will be conducting a rhetorical analysis of film. Specifically, you will
compose a rhetorical analysis of a single Black Mirror episode (on Netflix). In your writing,
you will be presenting a reading of the episode, focusing on the persuasive aspects of film and
how it can be read as making rhetorical arguments about some significant social issue.
In your analysis of the episode, you should focus not only on what you think the episode says,
but also on how it says it. In other words, your analysis should offer a thesis that interprets the
meanings of the episode in relation to specific events, characters, visual or audio effects,
images, settings, or techniques used in the episode. You will have to describe relevant details
from the episode to make your analysis. At the end of this assignment sheet, there are some
questions that you can use to get started in your thinking. This essay should be 750-1000
words in length.
In writing about film as a public argument, you must draw on our class discussions and reading
about the nature of rhetoric (from Writing About Writing) and how the persuasive aims of the
film can be examined and explored. In addition to an episode of Black Mirror, you must cite
at least one of the writers we have read on the theory and practice of rhetoric and at least
one contemporary source that addresses either film analysis, the themes addressed in the
episode you’ve chosen, or Black Mirror specifically. The addition of these sources should
help to answer: How can key rhetorical concepts be explored, tested or otherwise applied to
film (the episode)? How can your rhetorical analysis of the episode be further supported by
contemporary discourse? It might also be useful to apply the type of analysis (sorting out
claims, reasons, and foundations) conducted in our class discussions to film.
Starter Questions:
Below are some questions to help you explore how your episode engages in public argument,
even if the episode you choose doesn’t necessarily seem intended to make an argument. You are
not limited these questions; they merely serve as suggestion.
How might the episode be read as an argument or a set of arguments? Does the episode
deal with gender, class, race, identity, geography, and/or culture? How?
Is there an exigence for the episode? What are the motivations (reasons) for making the
argument or claim?
In what ways does it make new knowledge? What symbols, images, and/or metaphors are
used to promote the claim/message? How does it appeal to the senses? Can you comment
on the stylistic techniques of the episode?
How does the episode visually represent public issue(s)? How does the design of
different scenes, as well as the movement, angles and positioning of the camera, shape
how viewers see both the scene and the actions taking place?
Does the episode have a hero, heroine or villain? How might viewers relate to different
characters, their actions and their values, and how does the film construct such
identifications?
What rhetorical appeals does the episode employ (pathos, logos, ethos)?
What is the rhetorical situation (ecology) of the video? What environment is the episode
situated in? What makes it relevant? How does the episode reflect a particular time and/or
social context? Is the episode responding to particular current discourses or events?
Who is the intended audience of the episode/series? Does it seem targeted toward
particular types of viewers? Why?
How does the episode engage, and even possibly, shape the identities of viewers? Might
the film be considered part of someone’s “identity kit” (to use Gee’s phrase)? Does the
film invite the viewer to adopt any particular identity?
