Something Different

Shot on Feb 1, 1968, two days into the Tet offensive, Eddie Adams captured on film national police chief General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Vietcong prisoner in the streets of Saigon. The iconic image earned Adams the Pulitzer and earned Loan the enduring hatred of both the Vietnamese and the Americans. Adams was much more proud of other pictures he had shot.

Taking a step back, how ethical were Eddie Adams actions? Should Mr. Adams have try to intervene? Should Mr. Adams have destroyed the picture before it was published? Or do you think the picture served a purpose?

Try to find more information on the event, picture, situation, etc. and post what you think should have occurred.

The Art of interviewing

Im giving you a link (click here) to a recent 60 Minutes piece on Will Smith. Pay close attention to shot selection, focus, lighting, etc.
Each students should pick one characteristic from the interview (whether it's lighting, seating arrangement, shot selection, etc. ) and give me a their thought on that one characteristic (you liked it, did not like it, why?)
Pay attention to both interviewer and interviewee.
