13. Closer shots of the subjects in the scene from and angle that includes a portion of the other person's shoulder or head. This is also called and over-the-shoulder shot.






14. Adjusting the optical center back toward the focal plane causing the image to become more wide-angle






15. Not limited by the linear characteristics of video tape. We can move around in the footage in any direction - instantaneously. All film projects - whether shot on film of DV are edited on NLE. All visual and aural components must be turned into dig
