Week 4 Homework

The film this week is a documentary on war photography.


If you are especially sensitive, you can skip this film and I can give you another assignment later.

—Watch the documentary War Photographer and the TED talk (with Korean subtitles)

—http://www.ted.com/talks/james_nachtwey_s_searing_pictures_of_war.html

—Discuss some of the differences between written and visual storytelling, especially a story involving war and tragedy.

—What are the limits (if any) of visual representation? Are there things that should not be photographed? 

Homework is due on Monday, April 1st at 12:00 noon.
