WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Basic Shots in Videography!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning basic camera shots is crucial in videography for effective visual storytelling, as shots set the mood, convey emotion, and provide essential context to the audience. Mastering these fundamentals also provides a common visual language for clear communication among a production team, allowing filmmakers to plan their shots more efficiently and translate their creative vision into compelling visuals that guide the viewer's perspective and emotional response to the story.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today you will learn about basic shots in videography, edit and then shoot them yourselves!
