The document discusses a documentary film about Rodney King and asks the recipient to watch the video and consider how realistic the portrayal of Rodney King is. It poses questions about the ideological messages and values present in the film, as well as the emotions the filmmakers intend to evoke. The recipient is assigned an essay discussing how the viewer feels consciously manipulated by the film and how much the emotional power comes from difficult to identify elements that just create a feeling. The essay should consider the film's construction techniques like camerawork, editing, sound design, mise-en-scene, and narrative.
