Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau

1. The filmmakers called the documentary Hawaiian, The Legend of Eddie Aikau because he is a Hawaiian symbol of his culture and what he was able to bring the the surfing community and around the world.
2. The angle of this documentary is the life of Eddie Aikau played a role in spreading his Hawaiian culture  and that Hawaiian people are proud of their culture and can achieve great goals. He could also bring his culture to the surfing community.
3. The filmmakers assumed that their audience is watching this film because they are interested in sports since this film was produced by ESPN. Therefore surfing is a huge part of this film and Eddie's love of the ocean.
4. If the documentary had been produced by either PBS or the History channel the filmmakers would have gone more in depth about Hawaiian culture and what it meant to Eddie and his family.
6.
Topic: Americas entry in the Spanish War
Focus: The US ship, the Maine, blowing up in Havana harbor and how the media created a bigger problem out of this and inaccurately reported the accident.
Angle: How the media in this time period inaccurately reported the Maine blowing up and started a national chant for revenge "remember the Maine" and how they were spinning the  Spanish war just for rating even though most of what they reported not accurate.
