Here is a video me and my partner (Beatrice) made experimenting with different camera angles + movement

Camera Angles: Over the shoulder, long shot, extreme close up, close up, long shot

Camera Movements: Static (scene 1, 5, 8, 9, 10), zoom (scene 2, 7), trucking (scene 3), tilt (scene 4), pan (scene 6) 

• Static (scene 1): Shows no camera movement and no action is occurring. It focuses on what is happening, a watering pipe is shown without any explanation of what it is watering in order to focus on what is happening.
• Zoom (scene 2): The focal length of the lens is adjusted by moving closer to the object, therefore draws the audience's attention (nature). 
• Medium shot: Shows the audience the expression of the subject (calm) and what is the subject doing (sketching). 
• Zoom/Over the shoulder (scene 7): Captures the perspective of the subject from behind. The subject is shown drawing as it zooms closer. 
• Trucking/Long shot: Trucking follows the subject from the side with respect to the action. The subject walks and finds a place to sit down under a tree. A long shot is used to show how lonely the subject is as there is just nature and varieties of plants surrounding the subject. 
• Tilt (scene 4): Vertical (up and down) movement from top until beneath the tree. It reveals more information (subject is seen drawing while sitting down under the tree).
• Extreme close up (scene 10): Focuses on what image the subject is drawing.
• Pan (scene 6): The camera stays the same but twisted, it pans to the left (from the tree trunk to the subject).

During our experiment on camera angles and movements for the mini project, the process of recording and editing the scenes are enjoyable because we are allowed to create any short video we want, and so we decide to create something that is simple yet pleasing or aesthetic to watch. I am able to communicate and collaborate with my partner effectively during planning until production stage, hence everything went well and we are able to submit the final mini project on time with a quite good result. This practice helps me to identify and understand camera angles and movements easier which I can implement for my final storyboard advert project. I can improve my performance by preparing a structured plan before start shooting, as most of the shots that we did are last minute with no plan on paper at all.
