Fahrenheit 9/11 versus Loose Change While documentaries can be defined as cinematic pieces built upon facts, there are many ways directors go about presenting facts to their audience according to the type of response they are looking to instill. In doing so, the audience will discover that there are many similarities between pieces, however there are also many differences as well. This is especially true when considering works such as Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore, as well as Loose Change by Dylan Avery. While both of these documentaries are based on the same event, the story, facts presented, and overall demeanor have similarities and differences. Overall both of these documentaries seem to suggest that our country, often thought of as an invincible superpower, has an imperfect system in our government.
The personal agenda and ulterior motives of composers shape the complete or absolute truth into a mere representation of reality. The concept of absolute truth then becomes non-existent as the resemblance between the reality of a situation and its representation is morphed to coincide with the composer’s own values and ideologies.

Editing is essential to our experience of the cinema; as Mark Le Fanu (in Cunningham 2005, p. 237) argues, ‘(s)tories may be told without editing… but in an important way the beginning of editing is the beginning of cinema itself’. The centrality of editing is particularly evident in documentary genres, which often condense or elide large periods of time into a single moving image experience. According to Megan Cunningham (2005, p. 236), the documentary editor ‘is like a sculptor whose materials are restricted to found artifacts of media: photos, footage, archival material, home movies, interviews and music. All of these assets are at their disposal to construct a cinematic storyline.’ Cunningham further explains that “(d)ocumentary editing ties together seemingly mundane moments that may lack inherent drama in a way that moves the plot forward, creates intrigue, portrays an engrossing reality and brings the larger significance of the events to the surface of the film.’ (p.236) This essay will explore the ‘assets’ at the ‘disposal’ of the
