Personal Notes on Studying Reference

In regards to thesis / storytelling in Ringling CA...

• Study shorts for how they get quick and effective exposition, story structure, and closure
• Study features/tv shows for how they make shots, transitions, actions, and cuts interesting and entertaining.  Try not to take too much influence on story structure from these mediums because their long time length allows them to properly execute elaborate plots and higher concept ideas that shorts do not have the time to tell.
