  1. We might be heading in that direction with augmented e-books which can embed video links, etc. For now, we are stuck with our words and readers with their imaginations.

  2. I'd like a drone shot of the area, circling closer and closer to the opening setting. Same shot at the end in reverse, pulling away.

  3. Fascinating concept, and as Jim pointed out, one that might be in our near future. As for me, because I write in South Florida where the landscape tends to be rich and vibrant, shots of fauna and flora would be nice scene augments.

  4. So even reading is now going to be inundated with the technical world? I am just shaking my head.

  5. I'll be the devil's advocate here. Our job is to accomplish all of this with words. Writing cinematically, you pan out, take in the atmosphere and the surroundings, then zoom in onto the people. You set the tone with the types of words you use. Words have music and rhythm, if we're skilled enough to use them that way.
