The Bronswick Affair


1)
          I was actually surprised by The Bronswick Affiar. At first I thought it was real because of the real people interviews of how they were affected by this television. It seemed as in they were really struck by some sort of disease or something. I was surprised that I haven’t heard of such a tragedy! But as the video went on, my doubts started to come. The interviews started to seem staged and the circumstances started getting more and more bizarre. The “victims” started to seem more like actors more than anything. The further we got into the video, the more I started to convince myself that what I was hearing and seeing was not the truth. I was glad to know that my instincts were right at the end of the film when we were told that the video was indeed a mockumentary. I found it to be an effective way to spread a message. To actually put the time and effort into creating a fake story and making it look so real just to prove a point.  I imagine that the majority of people who watched this video believed it was a real issue at one point or another and has now learned a lessons into not believing everything that they see or hear even if they see it on tv.
