Shot Information Progression

Make every shot earn its place. Build the sequence from viewer knowledge and emotional interpretation before choosing decorative camera, lighting, color, style, or effects.

Ownership

Own:

• the primary information point of each shot;
• the difference between visible behavior and its emotional/attitudinal purpose;
• the information delta between adjacent shots;
• the question, answer, contradiction, proof, or consequence handed to the next shot;
• redundancy diagnosis and the minimum narrative skeleton.
