  1. 102 Minutes That Changed America

  2. Background: • produced by History and premiered commercial-free on September 11, 2008 • depicts in virtually real time the events of the September 11 attacks using raw video footage, and audiotapes from amateur citizens and journalists. • most of the archival video footage was in possession of the U.S. government but was released to History years after 9/11.

  3. “Editing, or postproduction, is the process in which a film or video’s component parts-visulas, sound, word, music, and text-are woven together through storrytelling and juxtaposition to create meaning” (Cizek 2005, 168).

  4. “An editor’s skill and creativity can make or break the quality of a video-turning amateur footage into compelling videos” (Cizek 2005, 168).

  5. “As the editor, you are mediating the relationship between the subject and the audience. You have the capacity to perpetuate stereotypes or to advocate for a new relationship between audiences and subjects as partners” (Cizek 2005, 176).

  6. Objectivity vs. Propaganda: • “video activists feel as though the ‘other side’ (e.g. the government, figures of authority) has had enough exposure, with frequent presentation on TV, newspapers and other media. They feel the video they are making is their opportunity to give their point of view, often for the first time” (Cizek 2005, 177).

  7. Violence: • “people react to violent Imagery by not remembering the material that precedes a violent sequence or the audio content of the sequence itself” (Cizek 2005, 181)

  8. Linear vs. Non-linear Editing: Linear editing: • The images are assembled in order, from beginning to end Advantages: - Requires the editor to be organized and detail oriented through the editing process for the pieces to fall in place

  9. What was done well? • Well Organized • Audio • Music - “The drama in your video should come from the story, not the music” (Cizek 2005, 194). • The Ending • “A final scene that crystallizes the dilemmas and issues illustrated in the video” (Cizek 2005, 199).

  10. What Critics Thought: • The New York Times: • http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/11/arts/television/11minu.html?_r=0
