Adam Benforado (Drexel) has this Slate essay (excerpted from his new book). He discusses the role of perspective in evaluating video evidence and the need to “underst[and] how footage can influence perception,” so “we can change how we use cameras to address that distortion.” I have been making similar arguments, here and elsewhere. And I like some of Adam’s suggestions about finding ways to obtain and use video with different or wider perspectives.
