Learning the Basics - Pt. 2

Several years ago Digital Juice produced several training series for the web called DJTV. It covered topics ranging from Audio, Tech Info, and Filmmaking Basics. One of my favorite "shows" was Field of View, where they covered what I call "Film Theory." In FOV the main focus (no pun intended) was to discuss how to communicate your message to the right audience.

Here is a link to watch all the FOV videos, be sure to start with the first video on page 1, for some reason it has all the episodes listed with the last one first.
