Camera angles, shots, and movement
• If you pay attention to commercials, TV shows, and movies you’ll see that the camera rarely stays still. Instead, it moves left to right, right to left, up, down, and zooms in and out.
• The following slides will show you some common camera angles, shots, and camera movement.
• You should use each of these in your film.
