Choosing Camera Lenses

Simon Ford

Television sees the world through a lens. You need to know what different lenses do.

Confused? Intimidated? Don't panic.

In this BBC College of Journalism video, Current Affairs Producer/Director Sally Webb explains how to shoot sequences.

This is the first of a series of short films in which Sally covers the basics, including composing shots, filming interviews and the meaning of 'crossing the line'.

All of the films are available on the BBC College of Journalism website. Access to the site is free to licence fee payers within the United Kingdom. You will be charged to see the content if you are outside the UK.

Blog comments will be available here in future. Find out more.
