Segmentation: REPORT by Bruce Conner

1) Radio Voiceover
- radio broadcast about JFK assassination.
- leads the "development" - beginning, middle and end.
- motivates the story, and tells the story as narrative.
-usually not syncing with visual material of the film, the audio of voiceover separates itself from video, which creates irony, contrasts, and symbols.
-live: realistic aspect

2) Footage of JFK
-repeated footage of JFK and Jackie in a limo parading: gives the sense of realism. Cues the story to start. Lets the audience to engage with the story. The staccato style of repeated images create intensity and rhythm.
- Historical moments: inauguration, Airforce One, Jackie and JFK waving hands, JFK with Catholic pope. They give the sense of realism to the film.

3) Irrelevent Footages
-Blank white screen, flicker: gives certain intensity to the audio of reporting on the assassination. Motivates the audience to engage more with the audio. Flicker changes regularly, which avoids monotone and creates tension.
- Count down: creates intensity. Presented with the audio : The sentence, "The president of the United States is dead" and silence for a while.
- Commercial, technology development: symbolizes the promise of idealized future. Contradicts with the death of the president. This "promise" becomes irony when the film also shows the footage of Jackie, who can't open the car door, whereas in the advertisement a woman easily opens a door with a happy smile.
-Light bulb: a bullet shattering light bulb glass symbolizes bullets that killed the light, JFK.
-Bull killing: is presented with a narrative description of JFK, which symbolizes that JFK is a victim like the bull in the scene.
-IBM 'SELL' button: broadcast sells the story of the JFK assassination without knowing the exact truths. / JFK becomes a legend.
