Does Not Illustrate: Manipulative Editing

Current —————————>

The trope is about how cutting footage together can alter the audience perception. However, nowhere does it talk about manipulating images to serve that end. The image might lead to misuse.

Opened.

I've always wondered about this one. Does the narrowed image convey some meaning? I can't tell.

That's not the only editing done to the picture. Look at his nose or chin, for example.

I'm not sure that having a news media example as the picture is a good idea.

Isn't that a type of editing as well, albeit perhaps not a very common one?

IMO, photoshopping has nothing to do with this trope.

The classic manipulative cropping◊. Assuming of course, that someone trims out the text around it

That's good.

I like that suggestion when it lacks the text.

At 350:

And if you pull back the camera, you'd see the three of them on a stage.

That works well.

Honestly without the text took me forever to see what was going on. The color filters don't help.

Yeah, I don't get it.

My favorite example is from Homer Badman. Any idea how this could be crammed into one or two shots with a poignant caption?

There's a version without colour filters (Fine. With different colour filters)

I say go with 7, with the text included. As it's a poster, I don't it falls under an Image Macro.

There was this image◊ posted to Reddit in response to the picture in 10, which is simpler but also conveys the trope.

That's clearer.

Yeah. 17 is better

I much prefer 17. It's less literally true, but clearer.

17

Found a somewhat less artifacted version.

Heh, that works.

That's great. We've got enough consensus for it, so it's up and tagged. Caption or no?
