i'm familiar with most of the caveats listed by "wlt4" in his recent response -- and we certainly know that we'd need to call the course something like "story telling with the moving image" -- but there's one detail wlt4 mentions that puzzles me: "the effect of aesthetic decisions (for example, long takes don't work the same in video as in film)" . . . can someone explain why a long take on film should be significantly different in aesthetic quality than a long take on video mike PS-- the tentative title of the course provided above is clearly very awkward . . . we'd love some suggestions for accurate and pithy alternatives ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
