Basic Principles for Image Selection*
Before starting a VTS discussion it is important to consider the basic principles for image selection:
- The image must correspond to the development of the viewer.
- The viewer needs a known entry point.
- The topic should interest the viewer.
- The picture should tell a story that can be interpreted differntly.
- The sequence of images should be challenging.
