Chapter 3 concentrated on the role the camera plays in producing an electronic image. This chapter will look at the function of the lens and the way manipulation of the camera and lens functions as a part of the process of visualization. We are concerned here with the technical elements of lens operation and manipulation as well as with the aesthetic impact that results from that manipulation. Video is not only an electronic phenomenon that produces an electronic signal, it is also an artistic or aesthetic phenomenon that produces images that audiences respond to. Any discussion of lenses, therefore, should contain a discussion of these complementary components.
