Simple Shot Types

This video is to show a few of the basic shot types for filming. Overall, I think this is a good video and achieves its goal of showing the shot types. although I think it is good, there are clear areas for it too be improved.

The clips are clear, but some parts the filming is wobbly, especially when following the model or panning. This could have been avoided or improved by holding the camera better, or in future a tripod could be used to keep the camera even more steady. Other than that, I think the clips are clear, for example they are not blurred.
One area that could have been improved with the individual shots is that I done the close up and extreme close up shots in the same take. If I had done them separately it would have extended the video a little bit and made the different shots clearer.
When putting the video together I did not have to cut the individual clips too much as they merged consistently into each other. The transitions I added work well with the video as they help make the transition between slides smoother. They also go well with the flow of the video, for example the transitions follow the same direction that Sam is walking. The sound i added also works well with the video as it is happy and upbeat making the video more fun and interesting. I chose to use a sound for the entire video instead of different ones for different shots as it makes the video more consistent and links the different clips together better. I chose to use a blue screen to start the video and to end it as it goes well with the bright, outside park theme of the video.

If I was to re do this task, I would think of a better story line and make the video longer, rather than having Sam just walking into the park. I would also spend more time making sure the shots were steady and for some of them, making them longer.
