When I shot a curtain, I shot it in different positions. When I shot a car, I shot it in three or four different locations. When I shot an individual, I tried to capture his or her eyes both open and shut. This gave the producer a chance to build narrative sequences. I also kept in mind characteristics of the screen.

Not one of the respondents even noticed still images had been used rather than full-motion video. For this test audience the important thing was understanding the narrative, which they did without difficulty.
