Credibility
Real World Example:
John Green’s “Crash Course” history lessons are comprehensive, holistic lessons on particular historical subjects created through effective and playful uses of media. John relies on a series of visual strategies from the typical historical paintings/photos but also use modern animations and graphs to supplement his verbal lessons. Additionally there are often playful uses of cinematic tricks and game show elements, such as the “Mystery Document”, in which John is playfully electrocuted if he doesn’t properly guess the author of said document. John’s language, speed of speech, and quick jumps across subjects all work to create a linguistic strategy that appeal to logic and give a sense of credibility to his historical lessons.
