Filmmaking for Journalists
Cognitive bias refers to systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, where individuals make decisions based on their emotions, beliefs, and experiences rather than objective analysis. This concept is crucial in understanding how manipulation of images and footage can influence perception and belief, as it highlights how viewers may misinterpret visual information based on pre-existing biases. Recognizing cognitive biases allows creators to understand the potential impact of their work on audience interpretation.
