Music with some Multimodality

In the visual "Does the Human Body Replace itself Every 7 Years?" the video represents W.O.V.E.N. quite well. The speaker of the video has such a casual attitude that it keeps the watcher comfortable through the whole video. She does this by making jokes about the body while telling you what changes within the body and what doesn't. The visual of the video shows it's pointed towards a younger audience. For example, it has a green background which almost resembles a green chalkboard that schools used back in the day. The video even has drawings with white as color which resembles chalks written on a chalkboard. The creator of this video has a high proficiency with videos similar to "Does the Human Body replace itself Every 7 Years?", all of them deal with some type of science. The platform that's used also goes along with their expertise in teaching science to a high degree. Previously mentioned, The speaker of the visual is cheery and smiles from start to finish, and dressed as an educator. Its as if she's happy that she gets to do this type of video.

Image result for multimodalityThe written explanation "Do you know these fun facts about the body?" also represents an identical version of W.O.V.E.N. The explanation uses facts that come with a neutral attitude towards the reader since it's giving you a list of information. With it being written it uses the text to give off the personality of the writer. The writer is almost like the speaker from the visual previously mentioned. The author Susy states, "You’re going to be taller in the morning because of how the cartilage in your bones compresses during the day. Thanks a lot, gravity!". This implies that jokes will be said from time to time to give off her tone. The illustrations in the written explanation particularly show women. Which is presumably the target audience she's going for in this explanation. The explanation is written from a site that involves mattresses. That makes so much sense because it's giving non-stop facts that deal with the body.

However, both are missing some parts of W.O.V.E.N. completely different. For starters, the visual "Does the Human body replace itself Every 7 Years" uses one of the best streaming platforms, YouTube. Youtube has an array of audiences for its array of videos. More importantly, there is a search system that's implemented into Youtube. This conveys that any audience can find their type of video. So intellectuals that want science videos that explain the body transformation over 7 years can effortlessly find it. On contrast, the written explanation "Do you know these fun facts about the body?" just uses a mattress site that explains how the changes. Then simply ends it off with the price tag for the mattress.
