I have studied television and can agree with that source about TV being good for close intimate things. I can explain it to you but unfortunately the only thing I have to back my claims up are my textbook. The reason why this is true is that television is an inductive medium. This means that telelvsion is better if one uses many close-ups to explain a story rather than the deductive approach where there are a series of shots progressing from a long shot to a close-up. It is an intimate medium also because the screen is relatively small and it generally reaches us in our homes which, in the farthest sense, is an intimate place. I hope this makes sense to you...and it answers your question approp- riately. Goose...
