During the Coronovirus pandemic, some comedians made videos in which they lip synched to a soundtrack of President Donald Trump while also using hand gestures and facial expressions for comic effect. What would you say is the dominant mode for these multimodal comedic videos?
Responses
A) Linguistic - because the videos make use of Trump’s words in his speeches in order to make meaning.
B) Gestural - because the videos add meaning and comedy to the original video through facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language.
C) Aural - because the videos make use of Trump’s speeches in order to make meaning.
D) Spatial - because the videos rely on the comedians’ moving through space in order to recreate Trump’s speech but with their own distinct movements in order to deliver humor.
