Both of these images shocked the world when they were first put into the public eye. They created conspiracy,devastation and questions that the world wanted to know the answers too. Both of the images document devastation however there is something about these two images that spark questions such as "have these photos been set up" or "why have they decided to put a particular element into the photo",within this photo you can also see the destruction of the surrounding building . The Statue Of Liberty connotes Americas freedom and Independence and when 9/11 happened all of that seemed to be taken away. The interesting thing about this image is the way the statue has been lit; The statue looks all clean and polished and the lighting gives the statue beauty perhaps stating that America will over come the destruction but that almost seems short lived when you see the thick black smoke behind it. The statue looks photo shopped in its presence and it seems like two different images are happening within the same photo for example, the statue looks like a photo was taken of it on a nice sunny calm day which is controversial in the reality of the image, and the rest of the image was taken on September 11th and both images have been merged together to create this new image with loads of different meanings. The image seems very setup almost as if someone wanted to create this weird yet wonderful image.
In the second image we see the destruction of the Pentagon with the White House standing promptly behind it, this image is a strange one to deconstruct because there are so many possibilities as to why the image has been set up like this; The main one that stands out to me is that the White House shows Americas power and how its government will protect it, yet in the foreground of the image we see Americas ministry of defence all broken and defeated, its almost saying your not safe anymore or perhaps the government can't do anything to save you now, and with the destruction of the Pentagon it could perhaps be blaming the government for this devastation. Another reason this image could of been documented this way because it wants to show the corruption of the government and it could also be saying the white house could be the next target for a terrorism attack, it could also be saying that America is getting weaker.
Both of the images show Americas destruction but i don't think they are showing the true devistation.

Editing Terms
Cut A visual transition created in editing in which one shot is instantaneously replaced on screen by another.
Continuity Editing:Editing that creates action that flows smoothly across shots and scenes without jarring visual inconsistencies. Establishes a sense of story for the viewer.
Cross Cutting:Cutting back and forth quickly between two or more lines of action, indicating they are happening simultaneously.
Dissolve: A gradual scene transition. The editor overlaps the end of one shot with the beginning of the next one.
Editing :The work of selecting and joining together shots to create a finished film.
errors of continuity Disruptions in the flow of a scene, such as a failure to match action or the placement of props across shots.
Establishing Shot: A shot, normally taken from a great distance or from a "bird's eye view," that establishes where the action is about to occur.
eyeline match The matching of eyelines between two or more characters. For example, if Sam looks to the right in shot A, Jean will look to the left in shot B. This establishes a relationship of proximity and continuity.
Fade: A visual transition between shots or scenes that appears on screen as a brief interval with no picture. The editor fades one shot to black and then fades in the next. Often used to indicate a change in time and place.
Final Cut:The finished edit of a film, approved by the director and the producer. This is what the audience sees.
Iris: Visible on screen as a circle closing down over or opening up on a shot. Seldom used in contemporary film, but common during the silent era of Hollywood films.
jump cut A cut that creates a lack of continuity by leaving out parts of the action.
matched cut A cut joining two shots whose compositional elements match, helping to establish strong continuity of action.
montage Scenes whose emotional impact and visual design are achieved through the editing together of many brief shots. The shower scene from Psycho is an example of montage editing.
rough cut The editor's first pass at assembling the shots into a film, before tightening and polishing occurs.
Sequence Shot: A long take that extends for an entire scene or sequence. It is composed of only one shot with no editing.
shot reverse shot cutting:Usually used for conversation scenes, this technique alternates between over-the-shoulder shots showing each character speaking.
wipe Visible on screen as a bar travelling across the frame pushing one shot off and pulling the next shot into place. Rarely used in contemporary film, but common in films from the 1930s and 1940s.
