Andrew Lih discusses teaching visual storytelling and the BBC 5-shot method. The 5-shot method sequences shots in a specific order - closeup of hands, closeup of face, wide shot, over the shoulder shot, and unusual angle shot. This provides structure and ensures usable b-roll. Lih finds the 5-shot method helps students learn skills faster and produce professional-style videos. While not a rigid formula, it provides a baseline for shooting sequences and frees up mental space for story decisions. Lih has implemented the 5-shot method successfully in his multimedia classes at USC.
