Camera angles and movement

 Here is a video I, and a friend, made experimenting with different camera angles + movement 


- A close up shot of my feet as I walk through the canteen, the effect is to show me just exploring the school in a peaceful manner

- An extreme long shot of me staring at the flag, the effect is to show the vast yet quiet field I'm in, to show the truly quiet personality of the subject

- A low angle shot of my legs going up the stairs, the low angle shot is to show that I'm going up the stairs

- A shoulder shot + a high angle shot used when I'm checking the time on my watch, used to dynamically show that... I am checking my watch

- All the camera movements are static, mainly to show the very inert & slow vibe the video is trying to make

MINI SELF-REFLECTION: The video me and my friend Ata made was kinda cool. Frankly I didn't like the lonely and melancholy vibe that Ata tried to encapsulate with the video, since.... I, to an extent, kinda relate to that and is a little sensitive about it, but ehhh its fiiine, it at the very least lead to a very interesting direction with the camera shorts, mostly static camera movements, and choices of non-diegetic music. I also like the looping effect he gave for the video. We also subconciously got used to understanding camera angles and camera movements and the meanings they give to the audience, via practicing using them in said video.
