ReplyDeleteThis is one of your best responses Mayan! You have written with clarity, provided examples and explained the effect. Your first paragraph in particular is excellent.
Reflect and Perfect:
The second and third paragraphs are good, but could be pushed further. What is another effect of fast paced editing - does it affect viewing figures?
Why else are close ups being used? How are the characters represented?
Well done Mayan, you've worked hard.
okay thank youuuu
