Visual Language
Video communication is a language all it's own, just like a written language. Instead of words to evoke ideas it uses images and sound. Instead of grammar to construct sentences it uses shots that build scenes. These scenes can be used to much like the paragraphs written in prose. Just as use build paragraphs into chapters and novels, you can build scenes into sequences and programs. Most video programs start out with a written script and with the understanding of a visual language they are translated into video. This translation is not an exact word for image translation, but instead it is the visual depiction of the same ideas that are built out of the written language. The following is an example of how a sequence is built out of written words:
Frank was sitting at home reading the paper when he heard a large crash outside. He ran outside to discover that a large rock had been deposited in his yard. Amazed and uncertain about what to do he decided to call his friend Jim, who happened to be a geologist.
Jim had just gotten in the door when he heard his phone ring. He answered it and immediately heard, "Jim, this is Frank, you're not going to believe it, but there's this big rock in my yard and I think it just fell out of the sky! What should I do?" Jim paused and responded, "Let me come over and look at it, then we'll take it from there."
Frank was nervously pacing as he waited for Jim to arrive. Occasionally he would look out the window at the rock just to see that it was still there. Then the doorbell rang. It was Jim. The two went out in the yard and Frank said, "You see, just like I said. I think it's hot. Do you think it's a meteorite?" "It could be." Jim replied. "I'll call a colleague of mine who's worked with meteorites. This could be a big deal."
