About Video Communication
1. A Different Universe
  1. Understanding that Video doesn't have to be grounded by reality and you can use manipulation techniques to seem like you can change time or space
2. Video Construction
  1. A Video is complex, it's planned and created carefully.
3. Video Truth
  1. Video's aren't the real world they are artificial constructions, and do not always communicate the truth.
The Video World
1. Video Space
  1. The Power of the Frame
    1. The frame shapes the world you want to create with your video
      1. Frame (include) everything you want to exist
      2. Frame off (exclude) everything you do not want to exist
  2. The illusion of size and distance
    1. Depth
      1. It is giving the audience a fleshed out, non-flat experience by placing things and scaling them different in your shots
    2. Scale
      1. The illusion of an object being large or small by changing the depth of it in a frame
2. Video Time
  1. Speed
    1. Changing of the Speed of time
  2. Flow
    1. How time movies throughout a video
  3. Direction
    1. The movement of time itself in a video
  4. Coherence
    1. The independent movement of both video and audio
3. Sequences
  1. A progression of event through a certain number of shots
Video Construction: The Role of Composition
1. Directing the Eye
  1. Pull the viewers eye toward something using different camera techniques
2. Managing Depth
  1. Creating depth requires perspective
    1. Wide Angle
      1. Increases apparent depth, rendering distant subjects smaller than "normal." Making the background seem distant
    2. Telephoto
      1. Enlarges distance subjects, making the background seem closer.
Video Construction: The Power of Sound
1. Implication
