When you look at the video and the picture of the Vietnam execution you can see a lot of differences but each one still shows detail of the execution. During the video you wouldn't be able to tell what exact expressions they had on there face but you can tell more than that. You can see how unexpected the sudden execution was. By how quick it was you can tell there was no interest, no remorse and that he did it all the time. None of the soldiers were even looking at the execution if you look at the picture you can tell what is exactly happened. Like the expressions on their faces each person had. You can even tell how casual the executioner looked. As if he had been doing this for a long time. In the left of the shot one of the soldiers was even smiling showing that he didn't even care about what was happening.

Photojournalism Robert Capa and Tony Viccaro
Both Robert Capa and Tony Viccaro took photographers during world war 2. Each of these people may had taken photos during the battlefield but they had very different circumstances. Capa worked for life magazine which meant he had the freedom of choosing his battlefields while Vaccaro was a soldier who had to move from battlefield to battlefield by orders only. because of there different circumstances there pictures end up very differently.
Robet Capa
Capa took the photos from a further away point of view since he wasn't fighting. This gave a viewpoint of an observer allowing him to see things from a less emotional place. his more distant position gave him more freedom to choose when and where to take photos of the battlefield. Because of this kind of control he was able to depict the photos as if war was a romantic thing which is what he believed war to be. As he worked for life magazine he was able to send his photo's back to his company to be developed. The problem was since they were rushed to release the next issue a mistake was made. This mistake caused most of his work to be destroyed. Luckily enough was saved to be used in a article.
Tony Vaccaro
Viccaro had a much more close up point of view since he was fighting. This gave him a much more close up view of what was happening in the battlefield. The problem is that because of this he didn't have much time to take pictures so he had to time it right. Viccaro's more close up view allowed him to take pictures of another side of war be because his pictures depicted the tragedy's of soldiers dieing on the battlefield. Since Viccaro had to take picture while fighting he never had the luxury to send them away to be developed. He had to develop them himself at night using different chemicals. Sadly quite a bit of his hard work was in vane. The army confiscated some of his pictures because they thought that the public wasn't ready for them.
