4: Why do you think Annie uses the format of a 20-minute video rather than another format, such as a report, web blog, or poster?

Answer: This powerful method of a visually attractive video can grab people's attention as this is fast-paced and informative at the same time, she uses a video to present her thoughts and her persuasiveness can change people's perspectives towards the topic of consumption. In the 20th century, people would rather watch an interesting short video than to read a long article or a word report.
