Communication Blog #3

Stephen Colbert Capital Hill

The video that I have chosen to write about for my third blog entry is a speech that Stephen Colbert gave in front of the Subcommittee of Immigration. In this video you can clearly see that Colbert is the main focus as he is in the center of the frame the entire speech. Throughout the speech Colbert remains cool, calm and collected as he somewhat mocks the people in which he is presenting to. Colbert discusses the fact that he does not want the farm work to go to immigrants, and uses his so called experience to back up his claims. Now as the video goes on you can clearly notice different aspects about the way Colbert is presenting his information. The way he is sitting all slouched over makes me feel as f he does not care about the topic and the way he is constantly looking down at his paper is unacceptable. Compare this to the man sitting directly behind him,who has sat there stone faced joke after joke, and you will see polar opposites. Colbert proves in this video that humor is a great way to get our point across and uses this skill to his highest potential. This is the kind of situation where i would say Stephen Colbert is in his element.
