Mobile Devices & Cell Phones • Aspect ratio that works w/ multiple screens • Close Ups • Inductive sequencing / Deductive sequencing • Brief – avg. new story • avg. news story :20 • +< 3:00 max. • Audio track: • dense vs. sparse
Screen Size, Image Size & Relative Energy • Large = More energy • Screen • Aspect ratio • Overall size (theater, TV, HDTV, cell phone) • Image • CUs, MS, LS, etc. • Scale • Sound • Huge screen & high volume surround soundtrack trumps smaller screen regardless of CUs, inductive sequencing, and a dense audio track.
Review • Aesthetic field • fixed but can be manipulated • Clarify • Intensify
