For this project, I decided to
manipulate a very old film about Abraham Lincoln's life. I
decided to alter a section of the film when Lincoln reads
an excerpt of the Emancipation Proclamation and then signs
the document. So, I took out the audio of Abe speaking and
then inserted new audio of a man's voice reading Section 203
of the Patriot Act. Section 203 is perhaps the most controversial
section of the Patriot Act because it gives governmental authorities
the right to personal information. Abraham Lincoln then is
seen reading this section aloud and signing it in the film.
Also, I have the film playing from an old roll film projector
so that one must question the validity of this footage.
