       I was introduced to shot sizes and camera angles. Shot sizes are how much of the setting or subject is displayed within a given frame of a video, photo, or animation, hence the scope or size of the shot. Camera angles mark the specific location at which the movie camera or video camera is placed to take a shot. I was introduced to the content by videos on shot sizes and camera angles. I document the nine shot sizes and eight camera angles. The shot sizes and camera angles were both interesting, but I think camera angles are a little more interesting than shot sizes. The concepts are clever, attractive, and composed. Jobs that are associated with camerawork in the film industry are film crew, director, assistant director, camera tester, and several more.
