For this project, I applied what I learned in class about using wide, medium, and close-up shots to create a short video. I started with a wide shot to set the scene, then used medium shots to focus on the action, and included close-ups to capture important details. I ended the video with a wide shot to give a sense of closure. This exercise helped me understand how to make videos more dynamic and keep the audience interested.

Steps I Followed:

1. Wide Shot: I began by shooting a wide shot to show the entire setting and establish where the action was taking place. It really helped to set the scene.
2. Medium Shot: I switched to medium shots to show what was happening in more detail. I used a few different angles to keep the video interesting.
3. Close-Up Shot: I incorporated close-up shots to capture details that were important to the story, like facial expressions or specific actions.
4. Ending Wide Shot: Finally, I ended with a wide shot, slowly pulling back from the scene to create a sense of closure.

What I Learned:
I learned how to make better use of camera angles and shot types to enhance the storytelling in my videos. It also gave me a chance to experiment with different transitions and editing techniques to keep the flow natural.

Challenges:
One challenge I faced was finding the right balance between switching shots smoothly without making it look too jumpy. It took a few tries to get the timing right.

Project Submission:
I’ve uploaded my final video, along with a brief description of how I approached each shot. I’d love any feedback or suggestions for improvement!
