Show do not tell (no storybook narration or internal monologues) Make sure to show all necessary action. Descriptions of shots scene1: slow zoom down (then draw the shot) then to the out of the cup. Establish what the shot is and then the transition. Els, tilts down to family, high angle, background amusement park noises, girl in pink running excited pointing. Close up, low angle, medium shot, pov, break up shots instead of tri of long shots. Looking for something and reaction shot for slow down. Mass media = undifferentiated mass audience by centralized media organizations. Broadcast strategy: collect largest audience possible; sell attention to advertisers. Attempt to control flow (continuous viewing across programs) (raymond williams) Stream of content that you tune in to. Keep audience across ad breaks (curtains and cliff hangers) Keep audience across different shows (simpsons at 8, bob burger 8:30) one show may promote the other to lure you back next night and then week)
