Week 2 Lecture

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend this weeks lecture. I did notice however, after looking up the lecture notes on Learning@Griffith that it was about the way different camera angles communicate a message in video. It almost seems like a language we learn without realising. The amount of Television and Media in general people consume on a daily basis, we seem to have created an ability to piece two and two together from little snippets. Maybe media has become so predictable that we no longer need imagination. When i was looking at some of the typical camera angles to display a subject and what they were interacting with, i realised just how common those shots were in movies and television, even in news stories. It really has become second nature to understand what is going on.
