Further to this, here’s a slideshow. Main focus is on image composition and the use of angles in positioning the audience.

- That dough did not look like it was likely to rise. Sometimes you get a feeling. Last time I got that feeling I forgot to put the yeast in 2 days ago
- Play the hits, Phil. In this mix, the hi-hat is louder than the lead guitar. That can't be right. 2 days ago
- Not many people know that the second or third record I ever bought was Live and Dangerous, which didn't have The Boys Are Back on it. 2 days ago
- The Boys Are Back in Town. Excellent! 2 days ago
- Watching archive Thin Lizzy. Fantastically bad BBC sound mix, & with 2 lead guitarists, there's no hope of the camera ever catching a solo 2 days ago

Theme: Grid Focus by Derek Punsalan
I’ve enjoyed both this slideshow presentation and the Beatles one.
It’s great that you’re teaching these things and doing so in ways that even one who knows the material finds interesting.
Regards
that’s extremely interesting. where can a person learn about this kind of stuff?
Rivergirlie, welcome. The answer is, at school. At university level, sadly, there’s not a lot of this sort of thing – there’s a much greater emphasis on theory – particularly based around audience and fandom. Your bog-standard analysis of what’s-in-a-frame is pretty old fashioned, but I strongly believe that high school students at least should get a grounding in the basics.
I agree with the other writes; these are interesting decks on filmic convention and composition.
It would be intresting to do one on fast cuts too, like the ‘yank flies to london’ sequence in snatch.
