Introduction
In this assignment I had to complete my story board assignment by producing 6 videos. I was an the actor/subject in the shots and i used my laptop and mouse as a props for one of the shots. Me and my teammates agreed to using static, tracking and zooming because it seemed easier for us to manage unlink other options like a boom shot or arc shot. Those shots would have required something similar to a crane or jib which my team don't have access to while the latter had been more difficult form my name since its more challenging to pull off. Random movement, trucking, and push in were added options for something more fun and interesting.

Reflection
I discovered that camerawork is not simple and is quite difficult when it comes to figuring out the necessary shots and angles. One of my teammates handled drawing the storyboard and creating the YouTube videos/links, but we ran into a slight issue so I had to handle that issue. I was the actor in the shots taken while my other teammate was the cameraman. The cameraman had found it difficult to hold the camera steady when we took the static shot, especially since we don't have a tripod for the footage. We all worked together with research on camera movement and communicated about we can and can't do while making changes to our storyboard to compensate for what we can't do. In all, we believe we did a decent job as a team despite the challenges we faced in the process.
