this thread is a good discussion of the representation of 'truth'.

look at the camera techniques that forntline use! they are always on about "visual". in the everyday room they use a normal little camera for recording and it doesn't follow who is speaking. like mike could b speaking and suddenly brian will start speaking so the camera will jump form mike to brian so its like its you there watching it as u would quickly glance across to brian (does that make no sense at all?) but then in the studio they use proper camera's to show how they fabircate the truth

thanks heaps- if u go to media watch abc.net/mediawatch they have lots of good articles where the truth has been stretched or changed for different purposes. i also have one article in the sydney morning herald where they changed the age of the guy (as he was a minor) so that they would be able to publish his name to make the story more interesting and incriminating
