RHETORIC KEEPING FILM INTO PERSPECTIVE

Rhetoric is the art which aims at improvement of writers, speakers who attempt to inform, persuade, and motivate the audiences. Rhetoric basically came from Greek around late in 19th century, which means public speaker. According to Aristotle, rhetoric is ability, of each particular case, to see the available means of persuasion." He described three main forms of rhetoric: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. During those eras there were hardly such movements which were run on a single basis. Threes something substantial which goes on after rhetoric effect. There are few trends like increase self consciousness about cinema history, lowered film making, film production etc.
            So then whets the point in these new waves, it’s the new aesthetics of directions. Rhetoric has several types in it such as ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is the ethical appeal by way of convincing the character. Pathos means emotional way of appealing the readers or the viewers. Logos means logical by means of persuading by way of reasoning. Logos has been derived from Greek word which refers to word of internal consistency of messages. It has the greatest impact on the audiences. Ethos has been derived from Greek word which means character and also refers to the trust worthiness of the writer. Pathos means suffering or experience. Generally it’s associated with the emotions led out.
            Those films which are used as an example are due to their styles of presentation. Horror movies are currently in fashion now days. Are there any rhetoric devices which the film makers untie, so that they have less work during narration? Story is classy one no doubt about that, but what the film makers lack in is that they try to make the audience feel that whatever they are showing is pretty much true, whereas the audience knows the difference between reality and reel cinema.
