In some instances, if you are a writer or you are doing some articles that are particularly lengthy, it is best to present your work or documentary in bits and chunks. This is quite important because people easily gets turned off by long articles which doesn’t seem to end. It is important to split the pages in to several shorter ones. When you need to display the whole length of the article in a single window in your browser, you then resort to Intradocument linking. This way, the reader is capable of skipping the whole blah blah of your article and go straight to where they are interested in. this means you have to include SUBHEADINGS.

Other examples of shooting shots are on-camera introductions, where a person talks directly to the camera to introduce the video. Or you can use a graphic or title page, like ‘Susie’s birthday’.

Tell the story
