I had a hard time deciding on three individual shots
I really wanted to use footage from the Canadian Mennonite documentary
but I thought that it was so interesting it was hard for me to cut up.
It is a really powerful position to take an image from a pre-existing film and to attempt to separate it from it's original context. However, I am not sure I entirely believe that the original images are entirely separated when placed in a new film of appropriated imagery. For example, in class everyone wanted to know the origins of the images. Is it appropriate to tell the audience or to keep it vague?
I guess it's dependent on intent
