The Uncertainty of Documentarism

Respond to the prompt 

What is the significance of the authenticity and representation of the truth in the media that you consume on a daily basis?

The significance of the authenticity and representation of trust in the media is somewhat true but doubtful. Because everything in the media we consume daily is based on the reality from the real world in our life, but it should not be taken with full belief from the audience, sometimes we should also be doubting the truth and the lie behind these media. This is mainly because the media these days can convince and deceive us by using our emotions to make us perceive the world differently based on what we see in the media. Based on the readings, the media seems to use an unfocused image when they do some documentaries to give us more natural true feelings of experiencing the correct story.

What is the role of a live broadcast?

The role of a Live broadcast is to bring and give us more of a sense of being in the situation and giving us a more significant feeling of understanding and feeling the situation that’s going on in real-time. So it might bring us closer to reality, and although it could not make us feel like we are part of the current live broadcast event, it gives us more intense emotions and feelings toward it. However, all of these facts are somewhat could be a part of their manipulations to convince the audiences to believe.
