ANOTHER HEALTH RELATED VIDEO

This week I've been working as a lighting camerman for Lancashire based film maker Mark C Minard. Mark is producing a video about some of the leading pharmacists who have come together to provide an enhanced service for people who are on long term medication.

This study used the medium of videos as a way to further translate breast cancer risk information beyond simply relying on distilling information through traditional textual means.

“Videos add an element of realness and richness to complicated topics,” says the study's lead author, Evan K.
