“How to Read a Movie” by Roger Ebert had some vital points regarding videography. He mentioned pausing the film and thinking about what you see when you do. He also spoke about how visual compositions have “intrinsic weighting”, where certain areas of the available visual space have tendencies to stir emotional or aesthetic reactions. Filmmakers …

I think that the creators chose audio as the medium because it gives the audience a greater sense of context to what is going on in the message.

Forming that intimate connection with someone that you’re not in physical contact with by using the human voice shows a unique relationship dynamic between people. He compared this relationship to him painting a picture but the audience is holding the paint brush. This was the statement that …
