Answer and Explanation:

Watching the video and reading the poem increases the reader's sensory perception, which intensifies the message that the poem seeks to convey. This is because when we read the poem we perceive the strong influence of nature, the wild environment and the wind in the creation of the message, but this presence intensifies with the visualization of the video, where we can observe nature interacting with the words of the poem, besides that in the video, it is possible to hear the sound of the wind which is a very present element in the text. The end of the video intensifies the feeling of power and grandeur of nature in the poem, through the display of successive images and at a frantic speed.
