This mornings lecture was attended without coffee! Josh spoke on the "Language of the Screen" in the genre of film/video via the internet and Cinema "Cine-Speak".
We were given the various terms for different Shot Sizes and Josh gave a useful and interesting analogy for each shot (a building block) being put together to create Scenes...much like LEGO.
From here Josh covered Shots as Words and the Q & A in a shot and/or narrative...that is the Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? and which shot type was suitable and the purpose of each shot/question/answer.
An exercise was given: Watch a TV show or movie and observe the 6 question shot types and how they are presented and then report on our observations in our Blog.
Finally taken through the importance of Headroom, Talking room, Rule of Thirds and the 180 degree rule.
Josh's final tip: Every Shot (and sequence) has to have a purpose and reveal something new - ie. drive the narrative forward.
