Lesson Notes 29th april

Today in class, we were shown a photograph of a Vietcong dissident wthat was about to be assassinated. This particular photo shows us the the shosck and horro r of the Vietnam War, which promptly led to various anti-war theologys.

We were arranged into small sociablae groups. We first learned about photo doctoring and various properganda techiniques. Stalin was well knwon for emplying such techiniques for disarming his political opponents. When governments employ tactics of media to favour themseves, it is called properganda.

Soon after, we were given a photogrpah of what looked like a warzone, but was infact a photo of an earthquake in Italy. We were aslso taguth that zooming into one aspect of the photograph can alter its entire meaning.
