Night and Fog, a documentary about the holocaust, and JFK, a film based around true events, both display how editing plays a major role in the outcome and overall feel of a film. For me I felt like night and fog made more of an impact on we while watching it and made me think a lot about the time period. The footage is so raw and real it takes you to a very deep and emotional place. Night and Fog was also much more fact based while JFK was built up with conspiracy theories. One of the most powerful images used in Night and Fog to me was the shot of the bodies being dumped into a hole like garbage. This film also had very light music in the background that made it seem like it wasn't going to get as graphic as it did.
JFK was a film made based around the assassination of John F. Kenndy. I have seen the film before and do quite enjoy it. This film uses more actors to recreate the time period unlike Night and Fog, but there are some clips from the actual time period thrown in which I thought brought the movie to the next level. This movie stars an amazing cast and makes you really think about the whole assassination from every angle. It is smart and well formed, so that us as the audience remain interested.
