This lecture touched on what I thought would be very general themes that would likely having little relevance to my practice. There where however things that I could apply to my work and had similar themes to some subject touched upon in my essay. A lot of the lecture was about journalistic integrity and the art of the edit. I had thought about how much you can edit footage (film or still) to create a different interpretation of the same story. It relates back to work I used in my essay which is a study from the 20's known as the "kuleshov effect". Which again is about changing the order of an edit ti change perceptions of image. Choosing to miss out certain part of data in an image can massive change its interpretation.
I need to think more deeply about how I'm editing my footage both pre and post production based on what I want to convey as the order of the shots can completely change the tone.
