This flash interactive makes it easy to analyze how a video documentary consists of many individual shots. You can watch the entire video, or analyze individual shots according to how the shot is framed, the type of sound that is used, or the movement of the shot. To further break down the elements of a video, individual shots can be played with or without sound, or with only the sound and no image.

Teaching Tips

It's best to use the video logger in conjunction with the other resources in the Building Video Literacy series. This series is designed to help students understand how analyzing video is similar to reading texts, and how filmmakers use different types of shots, sounds and camera movements to convey meaning.

As your students use the video logger and the other resources in this series, the important idea is to help them become aware that documentary filmmakers are not "capturing a moment in time," but rather are using the elements of a video -- the type of shot, the sound and the camera movement -- to express a point of view.
