Overview See: Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Makes Video/About Visual literacy training Sandbag operation at Venice Beach pier in California. September 30, 2010. One of the more successful way of training new folks in visual literacy is through patterns. One such pattern that is used in journalism circles is the "BBC 5 shot" pattern, pioneered by Michael Rosenblum. (See the Wikipedia article Sandbag for an example of this, done by Fuzheado). It states that all stories should be human-oriented, and always consist of this sequence as a start: Closeup on the hands Closeup on the face Wide shot Over the shoulder shot Unusual shot See the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Makes Video/Video training for more information. All these should follow the basic visual literacy rules: Frame the subject using the rule of thirds, for framing a subject Don't move the camera, treat each shot like a still shot Don't cross the line of action. Stay on one side of the subject so that there is visual continuity Topics ripe for video See Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Makes Video/Suggest Sample Videos See Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Makes Video/Examples See Articles containing video clips Related efforts Wikipedia:WikiTV Wikipedia:Videos - General page Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lights_Camera_Wiki - Good technical description, but provides little assistance on visual literacy and shooting technique.
