Reflection

Today we continued our investigation into film techniques by introducing camera techniques. This was a very useful thing as it provided a good remainder to what I have already learned and taught me new film techniques such as the dutch angle. This class also told me a bit about my partner Jacob and his room. Jacob also gave me feedback about my props in my room and how to improve my ability.
