1) Hampe says 'editing is at the heart of documentary.' Since editing is obvious done post-shooting, how does this separation take away from a actual depiction of reality? Or could this editing
enhance it?
Editing can take the actual footage and organize it in a way to get the original message across. There are no actual scripted lines or detailed descriptions of what those who are in the film are supposed to be doing at a certain time (at least there isn't supposed to be...) so editing is the only way you can turn reality into becoming coherent... this can take away from what actually happened, and it can also manipulate what actually happened into something that's not. But at the same time, it can just make more clear of what was going on at the time the footage was being filmed in the eyes of those filming/producing it.
