Week Three Lecture Review

I happened to miss this lecture, since Josh had sent an email around to all us ex-Digital Video Foundations students letting us know that this one lecture would be essentially what we spent an entire semester learning about. Even still, I couldn't work out for a long time what the blog task for the week was actually referring to... I am officially either an idiot, or I don't pay enough attention.

That being said, I believe the lecture would have covered the basics of framing and composition in relation to the small-small screen (ie, the computer screen and youtube videos). In such a situation, many close up shots are a better idea than wide shots or extreme wide shots, since the detail would be lost due to the tiny little window it is being viewed through. With more short film creators finding an outlet on the free and public sites, the way films are shot is changing to work with this new realm.
