Making Analogs of Reality (Hampe)

1. What was the author's purpose of reminding us, "Some ideas just aren't visual ideas. They belong in an article, or a pamphlet, or a speech, or a recording, or a wall poster." What should we keep in mind about how to capture footage as we start our video project?

2. Have you or a friend ever gotten great footage on video for the purpose of making a point, but it didn't play back the right way or couldn't be edited without desroying the original footage altogether? What made you realize the evidence simply wasn't there?

3. What is your take on filming visual images where nothing happens? Do you think the "absense of activity" can bring forth a compelling message? (i.e. man sitting still in a chair, a child sleeping) Or should these scenes be cut out from the video/documentary altogether?
