What do you see?
Visual:-field of wheat-cows-grocery store-fruit factory-chickens-a family food shopping-made in (insert name of different country)-men crossing a farm and heading towards a factory-a live cow with a bar codeText:-"America's food industry is making a KILLING"-"And it's making us sick"-"You have the power to turn the tabeles"-"You'll never look at dinner the same again"

Audio: What do you hear?Narration, interview, voice over-different men talking-"the way we eat has changed"-"the industry doesn't want you to know the truth... if you did, you might not want to it eat it"-"faster, fatter, bigger, cheaper"-it's against the law to criticize their product"Background music/sounds-suspenseful music-sounds like a scary movie -then shifts to guitars? country music-a "moo" from a cow
What tone or feeling does the filmmaker create? The filmmaker creates a suspenseful and scary tone.
What point might the filmmaker be trying to make?The point may be that American's don't know what they are eating and actions need to be taken to change this.
What ideas, images, or sounds do you find persuasive or convincing?The image I found most convincing was the clip of the men walking across a corn field in business attire to get to a factory. It made me realize how much has changed over time regarding the food industry.
What questions or points of disagreements do you have?I do not believe ALL Americans are oblivious to what type of "secrets" go into making food. Some people are aware of these issues and choose not to eat processed foods that are unhealthy while others are still willing to take the risk.
ConclusionThe segment, over all, was effective, I'm now more curious about what things that I normally eat are bad for me!
