Puddle of Lecture Blog - Week 3, 4

Week three's lecture consisted of a whole lot of nothing with a side of nothing, thanks to the Ekka day holiday. With the absence of our lecturer, Steve Stockwell, our fourth week's lecture called for a substitute. We focussed on the language of film and television, eg. how we communicate to our audience through our use of specific techniques on the screen. This included head and talking space/room, where too little of either seemed to disconnect us from the image/person on screen and too much gave us a sense of discomfort and of abstractness.
