ABSTRACT

Communicating your ideas visually can be challenging.

This chapter will cover some of the most common

techniques.

The simplest way to cover a subject is to aim the camera at

the subject and then zoom between long shots showing the

general action and close-up shots showing detail. However,

this mechanical, less-than-stimulating routine soon becomes

very boring to watch. Creative techniques add to the subject’s

appeal and help hold the viewer’s interest.
