In documentary filmmaking, there are many ways to package extremist views as acceptable social commentary through selective reporting and editing. Here are some common techniques: 1. **Selective interviews**: Producers may only interview people who hold extremist views, while ignoring other more moderate or opposing voices. This selective reporting can lead to a one-sided understanding of the issue by the audience, making extreme views seem more universal. 2. **Quoting out of context**: The context of certain statements is omitted through editing, creating a break between the views, thereby changing their original meaning or tone. For example, a speech that agrees with an extreme view can be selected and the opposing or supplementary parts can be deleted to make it seem more convincing. 3. **Creating atmosphere**: Creating a specific emotional atmosphere through background music, picture editing, and narrative tone can affect the audience's emotional response. This can make extreme views seem more convincing or emotionally resonant in the audience's mind. 4. **Analogies and metaphors**: Analogies and metaphors are used to make extremist views seem more reasonable or acceptable by comparing them to socially recognized justice or moral behavior. For example, an extreme behavior can be linked to a widely accepted resistance behavior in history. 5. **Lack of multiple perspectives**: Avoid providing multiple perspectives and reflections during the argumentation process, so that the audience cannot obtain comprehensive information and context. This single perspective presentation makes extreme views seem more reasonable. 6. **Emotional narration**: By strengthening emotional factors, such as anxiety, anger or fear, it attracts the audience's attention and sympathy, making them more receptive to these views. 7. **Establishing an oppositional framework**: By constructing an oppositional relationship between "us" and "them", the audience feels that a certain view is a necessary choice to defend the interests of their group, thereby identifying with extreme views. 8. **Exploiting social anxiety**: In the context of certain social problems that need to be solved urgently, it takes advantage of public concerns and anxiety, presenting extreme views in the name of "solutions" to make them more acceptable. The use of these techniques not only affects the audience's understanding and way of receiving information, but may also cause misunderstandings and prejudices about social issues. Therefore, when watching such documentaries, the audience should maintain critical thinking and seek more comprehensive sources of information.
