This artifact is a video recording in which I discuss the research conversation on visual rhetoric in sports media using the sources from my annotated bibliography. I included this artifact because it demonstrates my ability to move beyond summarizing individual sources and instead analyze how they work together within a shared academic conversation. In the recording, I connect ideas across sources by showing how they all address the influence of digital media and visuals on sports audiences, while also highlighting different focuses such as social media engagement, sports culture, and audience interpretation. I also point out a gap in the research regarding how specific editing techniques in short-form sports highlight videos affect viewers’ emotions and opinions. Readers should notice how I use synthesis to identify relationships between sources and how this analysis helped me develop a more focused direction for my research project.
