Ahhh not quite what I'm after..but then the first link is always like that..a bit eager...a bit egotistical...usually without the means to support it.
This continues for awhile...not quite getting me anywhere..
I found this guy...John Seely he was fun..had some ideas about screen language...seemed pretty clued in...

Clued in and maybe slightly dull...
The inclusion of ECU...WS and MS narrowed down the search....
well it narrowed it down to every student doing new com...seriously we are all up in googles space with our blogs...stumbling around the same concepts. Thankyou to the pioneers of the class who actually had to search a bit harder to find the answer. I was pretty late on the band wagon so I went straight to google images to find my examples (opting for the last page in every search to avoid stealing someone else's example.)

Big Close Up:

Focusing on facial expressions
The Little Mermaid.

In the first few minutes of the movie (I get sucked in when the mermaids start singing about King Tritan) the first scene is set up using a series of screen shots.
A Long Shot is used to establish the ocean scene (What), depicting the waves and seagulls before a mid shot captures the ship where the first scene takes place. There is then a character close up of Derek who is a main character in the story(who). As a minor character makes reference to King Tritan, Derek's facial expression of amusement and joy is capture via a Big Close Up (What). As the story of King Tritan is explained the shot changes to a Close Up of derek looking bewildered and confused (How) before panning out to another wide shot of the ship and fading sunlight (when), eventually fading down to the depths of the ocean for the next scene.
