That depends on how the video is edited and if the image and audio are manipulated. Different meanings can be constructed. During WW II Frank Capra produced for the war effort propaganda films. They took such films as the masterful german propoganda film "Triumph of the Will" by Leni Riefenstahl and reversed it's meaning. From http://libraryautomation.com/nymas/frank_capra.html:
==================== "The Nazis Strike" and the Why We Fight series in general is probably best described as a compilation film rather than a documentary and therefore very much a job of effective editing and the editor was William Hornbeck, editor of Four Feathers and The Thief of Bagdad before the war and, notably, editor with Frank Capra of the perennial favorite just after the war, It's a Wonderful Life. Much of the footage Hornbeck cut in was from Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens: Das Dokument vom Reichsparteitag 1934) although documentary footage from films of US Federal programs like the Works Progress Administration is used throughout. ==================== -- Enric --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jan McLaughlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That's exactly correct, Deirdre. > > Through the audio/visual medium of videoblogging, we have maximized the > amount of emotional information from which to draw conclusions about > character and intent. > > Bingo. > > Jan > > -- > "It isn't done alone.
