To me there's a large element of YAWN to the strictures and suggestions being proffered here on how to tell 'journalistic' video stories. How very very dull it all becomes when you tell people this is how you should do it if it's to be done "correctly". So terribly boring. "Watch those eyelines." "Don't shoot from below." And definitely no jump cuts. Godard must be vomiting as we speak. I pity the poor trainee journalists being shown this video. Free your mind, tell your stories in whatever way feels good to you. Life's too short.
