It's stories that make us watch films, without them our attention span is very limited. As a species we communicate through stories and have passed down our history and lessons for millenia.

In the past four episodes we have looked at all the key elements that differentiate photography from filmmaking. In this episode Philip puts it all into practice in real world situations, showing how he ties all the previous lessons together to make both a promotional video for private accommodation and then a commercial piece for a restaurant.
