REFLECTION

Experience
During the class we are given chances to try to practice how to shoot by using the knowledge that we learn from the classes.

Observation
Different shooting angle and camera shot bring out different feeling to the audience.

Shooting is very complicated. As a producer we need to ensure that we can bring out the theme or the feeling well by using a suitable shooting angle or we will confuse the audience and ruined the video.
