ABSTRACT

Learning and the development of skills can be facilitated through the nine media-distinctive techniques in domain 1 of Table 0.1 (in Introduction). These techniques will each be illustrated below with a variety of examples. The examples will confirm that the techniques can be accomplished well only by a time-based medium like video with its particular presentational characteristics. These characteristics include: diagrammatic and real-life moving pictures with synchronous sound effects and commentary, camera moves, shot transitions, visual effects and chronological sequencing. Some pictorial illustrations are omitted (a) when movement is essential and a static image cannot help you to visualize the movement, (b) when the image is easy to visualize.
