Camera shots

This video shows the different camera shots. I have labeled each shot to make it easier to tell which shot is which. I have tried to keep the shots clear as to what they are. The tracking shot is not done well as i put the camera in a trolly and you can see the bars of the trolly taking up most of the shot, i changed the aperture so the bars are out of focus,s o you can tell who i am tracking and the trolly gave the movement more ease however there is a part where the trolly goes over a bump and you can tell because the camera jumps a little. I tried to keep all my shots clear and of a good quality and i think i did this well because I had a lot of natural lighting so i could have the ISO low in a lot of the shots. However I used the same person in most of my shots and because i made it simple, so i when editing and the person watching could easily see and tell which shot is which even without the titles, the video is a bit boring, i could have taken a range of different objects and people to get the shots and their would have been more of a variety. I think i have managed to capture the shots well as for example in the extreme close up, you can see what is meant to be in the image which is a feature of the persons face, but i also had a low aperture so that the background is out of focus which draws more attention to the factual feature in focus. I tried to order the shots well, as at the beginning of the video you see a close up followed after by an extreme close up where you can see a comparison from close up to extreme close up, followed by mid shot, long shot and establishing shot. Most of the time the establishing shot would be at the beginning for example in a film it would normally start with an establishing shot or extreme long shot so the audience knows where the film is set, however i put my establishing shot int he middle of the video because i preferred to group the mid shots, close ups and long shots together so it is easier to compare them.
