Project Selection Film

Based on my experiences so far on print journalism  the things that interest me the most are all of the camera shots. All of the different camera shots show how the character is feeling and how the mood of a scene is. The angle that a scene is shot at can change the entire mood or view of the scene. For example in the newsroom they show close ups of characters to show the emotions of characters. One example is when Jim went to go and see Maggie to confess his feelings towards her and Don peeks his head out at the door to find Jim there. The camera then zooms into Jim's face because he didn't know how to react while Maggie's boyfriend was there. If the camera was shot at a different angle this could have caused the scene to have a completely different mood, but with the camera shot shown makes Jim look very uncomfortable and doesn't know how to react. With this project my best skill would be editing the videos so that all of the scenes run smoothly. The most challenging thing I would have with this project is taking the camera shots and recording different scenes because sometimes my hands get shaky and I can not film the shot properly.
