The Difference Between Fake Journalism(film) and real Journalism(real life).

First and foremost, thank you for showing us a video on photos. It was truly inspiring.

               The Pulitzer Prize video was so raw as i watched it. Knowing that these photos were taken by an actual photojournalist made it all the more real to me. In State of Play, we didn’t get to see the whole film, but it felt fake to me. Of course there is a plot, and some mystery involved. All films involve action and things to intrigue the audience. The Pulitzer prize film was a story through real life photos that were taken on the day of the happening. There was raw emotion instead of posed or acted emotion.
               In the state of play, Russell Crowe made journalism look so easy and nice. The editor-in-chief really calm and easy-going, but in movies like “The Devil Wears Prada” The editor in chief is a mean old lady that is demanding. I don’t know exactly how real like editor-in-chief are but I think they always try to make things (like the editor, places, or certain characters) look and seem a certain way when in real life, they aren’t that way. In the Pulitzer Prize video, everything is on point and very “as it was.” The police cars were long and old, the guns were big, and the expressions were pure. It was a good depiction of what was happening and the era it was in.
