Camera techniques:  
First of all, we learned about camera shots/angles/movements to make our project easier and faster. Our teacher had already taught us about camera techniques back in As so we're all ready to use those techniques. 

What a camera shot!

A camera shot is composed of a series of frames that are shot uninterrupted from the moment the camera starts rolling until it stops. Camera shots are an essential aspect of filmmaking and video productions because by combining different types of shots, angles, and camera movements, the filmmakers can emphasize specific emotions, ideas, and movements for each scene.


This is exactly how differnt camera angles look on screen. I took this picture from pinterest to make it appear more clear and understandable.
